Ah, the elusive quiet time for moms. When the kids and partner finally head out, it’s a mixed bag of excitement and confusion about how to make the most of those precious hours. Here’s a light-hearted look at how we often spend that time:

1. Wave goodbye to your family as they pull out of the driveway. A twinge of guilt hits, but as you close the door, you take a deep breath. What’s next? You glance around the house and see the toys strewn about, dirty breakfast dishes, and laundry that’s begging for attention.

2. A shower? Nope, can’t waste time on that! And a nap? Not a chance! Laundry it is: you toss a load in and think, “Now I can check my e-mail.”

3. Before anything else, you decide to enjoy the rare moment of privacy in the bathroom—with the door wide open.

4. Laundry started, but wait, those gym clothes you’re wearing are practically rags! You contemplate exercising, but then you laugh at the idea of wasting this coveted hour on a workout.

5. Your stomach growls, leading you to the kitchen. Ah, leftover birthday cake! That’s the perfect treat to enjoy with that cold coffee sitting in the fridge.

6. Time to check your computer for e-mails and bills! You plop down and open your laptop… and 25 minutes later, you realize you just got lost scrolling through social media and bookmarking recipes you’ll never make.

7. You find yourself wandering aimlessly, only to end up in the bathroom again, plucking those pesky gray hairs from your roots.

8. You call a friend to share the news of your solo time, but as the conversation drags on, you panic as the minutes fly by.

9. In a frenzy, you glance at the kitchen counter covered in crumbs and grab the cleaning spray. Finally, a productive moment!

10. With the clock ticking, you remind yourself you deserve a break. You grab that magazine that’s been sitting around for three months and sink into the couch. Deep breath in… just as you start reading, the door swings open. “Mom, we’re back!”
