Freedom

Ahhhh, sweet freedom ...

My husband's car finally got fixed on Wednesday. It had not been running since January 3. It was nothing major (it just needed a new battery), but it took us a while to get it fixed. On weekdays my husband drove my car to work, so I was stuck at home with two kids and no car.

I think Drew and Gracie and I all suffered a bit of cabin fever during the past few weeks. It might have been easier to be without a car in the summer time, when at least we would be able to play outdoors or go for a walk to get out of the house. Then again, maybe it was best that it happened in the winter time when it's cold out and I just want to stay inside and hibernate.

My husband does not understand why it bothered me to be at home with no car. I am a homebody, and chances are I wouldn't have gone anywhere on most of those days, anyway. That's not the point. I just don't like to feel stuck.

Yesterday was the first weekday in a long time that I had a car and could go somewhere. So how did the kids and I celebrate our freedom? We stayed home. It was too COLD to go anywhere! But at least I had a choice.
