i can eat at least a half in one sitting if its alone time. Sometimes its just to clear your head. You need you time even if its with a pizza. :) But do try to leave a note or something just in case, otherwise enjoy your time to yourself. At least you make sure everyone is taken care of first so you know you can fully relax instead of being on edge. Glad your SO understands. You do you, moms need a break sometimes(M of 2 kids).
