Who Am I? The Real Emotions of an Empty-Nest Mom

(Question for a champion: Here we go)

I'm used to it, yet it still feels like a test.

My fridge is empty.

I binge Netflix.

I don't care what I skip for dinner.

I'm becoming a TV pro.

I say yes to after-work drinks with friends.

I leave the office late.

I'm happy.

I'm free.

I'm sad.

I'm missing something (or two).

I savor the silence.

The silence unnerves me.

I struggle to get up in the morning.

I sleep. I nap.

I am, I am, I am…

a mother without children at home!
