Have you ever felt unsure of what to do when you don't have kids around?

Tweet

I'm 23 and I have two kids of my own... 3 years old and 5 months old... and I work 5 days a week doing daycare through home as well as I help to raise my 2 year old nephew. Needless to say, I'm ALWAYS around kids. However, at times like right now, I get a little unsure and confused. The kids aren't gone, I have my 5 year old in the bouncer right in front of me in fact. But, all of the kids are napping. It's entirely quiet in the house and despite that they all take naps every day, and despite that occasionally it does happen like this where they all nap at the same time.... I always find myself wondering what I should do when they're all sleeping or... gone... which hasn't happened yet. I don't know, perhaps it's just the shock of the peace and quiet but... I honestly almost feel lost when kids aren't screaming or laughing loudly or crying out for "mama" or listening to cartoons around me.
