I know. You’re cised to get your house back. Football/field hockey practice has begun. You have the house to yourself for 7 hours a day.
PLEASE enjoy it. Tune every TV in the house to Oxygen or the NFL Network. Get your work done in peace, and do it on the most comfortable part of the couch. Clean all the floors without risk of your offspring traipsing across them, and laugh to yourself imagining them stuck in homeroom or eating lunch at 10:30 AM.
Just, please. If you’re going to take your euphoria outside the home, do everyone a favor, okay? The kids not being in the vehicle is no reason to race the Odyssey through the Starbucks parking lot at 30 MPH. Just keep it calm until you get your uninterrupted Frappuccino-and-Madeleine time.
Much appreciated.
