All of Me

As a homeschooling mom, it is rare for me to be alone. 
Almost every waking moment, I live in the company
of my son.  When I do get the chance to be alone,
it is as if I spread out.  I exhale.  I relax. 
I am no longer only the mom.  I am who I used to be
and maybe who I might become.  I feel greater, enlarged. 
I am not saying I don't want to be with my son; 
I only want, when I am being the mom, to be able to be all of me.
