Hi ladies, I just had to post a message about how awesome and nessesary having some well needed 'Me' time today was...
Today I got to spend 2 whole hours by my self. Emily started pre school and her Nana picked her up for me and they had a lunch date. Sooooo, I got to drive out to our cottege by myself (listening to [i:412dd351fa]my[/i:412dd351fa] music :-D ) to work on a project. I know this doesn't sound like much, but to just have the time by myself was [b:412dd351fa]so wonderful[/b:412dd351fa]. Kurt joined me when he got home from this trip and we got so much done!
In my vent session (you were right Icantrell!) all I really did need was some time away from the kids. Now, when I picked up Emily from my MIL and saw Alex when he got home from school, I was in such a better mood and much more ready to deal with being a mommy again.
The wierd thing is that I forget how much I need time away from being mommy. I just keep going and going until I reach burn out mode and become the wicked witch of the west MI. Even when Kurt is home, some of you may relate, I even don't take enough breaks because I often feel guilty for being away from him. YKWIM?
Call it my 'reoccuring light bulb moment'!!!
