a : the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action.
So I have been without my son for three days. FREEDOM! I thought.
Never mind that I sobbed for 15 minutes as I drove away.
But it left me with options that I usually don't have: sleep in, take random naps, go see a movie, get some housework done.
b : liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another : independence
c : the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous <freedom from care>
I had no one else's nap schedule to hold me captive, no one screaming for me to feed them. No half-finished projects because I've been summoned by a whining, almost-2-year-old...
*sniff* I want my baby back!
