They're asleep
I can go
I can run
I can drive away
No one would know
I got to leave today ...
Who knew this would be like leaving on a tropical vacation kind of excited
But it was...well maybe not to that extreme but it felt really good
I love them
But it was nice to be ALONE
Turn the volume up on the radio - blast it actually
Sing as loud as I wanted
Drive a little crazier than I have been
I didn't really know where to go
I went to the store ...the boring grocery store
It felt good
It felt really good
All the windows down
The wind blowing me away
Away from everything
Just me
Alone
At least for awhile
I came back
Of course I did
The alone moments count so much
I totally KNOW what you mean, I remember my first delicious solo outings to the boring, yet wonderful, grocery store!

great photo... it's so sweet.
a friend of mine just had their first child. he is seven months old now. it's been such a journey for her as well. we had many talks about fears of not being able to give up 100% to another, about losing "freedoms" of sorts.
i think it's great that you and tim get you still need that space.
sounds like you have great communication.
