*Gavin is off for his first outing with his big brother. And I did something I haven't done in a long, long time. Turned the furnace up, pulled up the blanket, and watched mommy's tv with a glass of red wine. Those moments are fleeting. And I admit, I miss the kid when he is not there. But I am so thankful for the chance to be alone, with myself, as a grownup, for more than a few minutes. Doing what I want, and worrying about me. Its a nice break. And makes his return all the sweeter as well.
*On the same note, I'm thankful for the people who introduced me to Cupcake Red Velvet wine. It tastes so good going down. I need to do this more often.
*Finally, Gavin had fun. I'm thankful that he has learned how to have fun without me. That he doesn't need me around all the time any more. That he is confident enough in himself to know that he will be okay, and confident enough in me top know that I will be waiting when he returns.
