I am similarly child-free this weekend, for maybe only the second time since my son was born. I've dusted off the PS5 and am playing the new Final Fantasy, which I'm really impressed by.
Without wishing to sound hyperbolic...this weekend has been incredible. Five plus years since I had a night off from the responsibility of parenthood, and I've missed this... freedom so much.
I'm excited to see them and give them a hug when they return tomorrow, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't loved every minute of being on my own.
It's such a rare thing for me. 5 years!
