8 Reasons to Celebrate the Back to School Empty House

You do you, booboo.

It feels a little weird, having the house to oneself after chaos all summer long. You may be shuffling from room to room, unsure what to do with your life.

Well, stop wondering. This is exactly what you should be doing.

 

Be you, shamelessly

If I dance in the kitchen after 4 PM, or I decide to turn up the radio and sing along with the 80s and George Michael's Father Figure, I have to hear "MooooOOoooooOOOOom!" Empty house = freeeeeeedom.

You do you, booboo.

 

Eat your treats shamelessly

All summer long I had snacks of all kinds ripped out of my hand the moment I popped the seal. Well, ladies, no need to hide in the closet with your snacks to keep them to yourself anymore.

 

Watch Outlander without having to fast forward the sex scenes

"Hey mom, what are you watching?" Uhhh.... nothing. Historical stuff. It's pretty boring. "Cool, can I watch?" No.

 

Enjoy a hot bath all to yourself

Mine. All mine. Without splashing and feet being stuck in my armpits.

 

Be super lazy for an hour or five

I actually can't remember the last time I could stare at a wall for 5 minutes uninterrupted. It feels weird and wrong. I intend to fix that.

 

Enjoy a little "hands on" time without door locking

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. No need to hide in the laundry room with a willing partner either.

 

Do all the things without pants if you want to

I mean, think about it, you're technically saving laundry time, energy bills, sweatshop labour, and the planet by not getting dressed.

 

Go back to bed

The simple things are the best.
