Things that matter most

I sit here this morning listening to my washing machine and dishwasher humming and am thinking about all the things I could be getting down today. The list is long. Isn't it always? However today not many things on that list are going to be crossed off.
With Allen's play in full swing I have not seen much of him this week. He was able to sneak away for an hour on Tuesday to come to the ultrasound, but other than that it is usually just the car ride home and then off to sleep to start again tomorrow. Yesterday and today are particularly hard because he has an evening show and a midnight show. He is essentially missing Halloween. But today I am reconnecting with my husband. Two good friends of Allen's from school have offered to take Miles for a few hours so we can be alone. I am a little nervous having never left him with any one but family. But I need this, I need time with my husband, just us. I love Miles dearly, as does Allen but he tends to monopolize Mommy. So here is to a day of reconnecting and spending time doing what matters most.
