Last night I took the opportunity to take some time off from being mommy. I went to a concert with my two sisters. It was a lot of fun and very well deserved. Time with your kids is vital, but time away is just as important - especially for us stay-at-hom-moms. All day, everyday we spend the day picking buggers, wiping butts, cleaning up after tornadoes, and feeding an army. After awhile, the stress wears on you. I never realize that I need time away, until I actually take the time. It's nice to not have to worry about what my son is doing at that moment. (I still do, but I'm not on the hot seat, :)
When I'm away, I constantly think about what he's doing and how I know that I'm missing an adorable moment. For instance, last night my husband was giving my son a bath. He's playing, happy as a clam and then all of a sudden my husband says he squats in the tub and starts making "THE GRUNTING" noise. His face is turning red and my husband and grandma are thinking that a bomb is about to be dropped. My son stands up looks around and lets out the biggest fart my husband says he's ever heard. And then he lets out a huge sigh of relief. :) Those are the moments that I love!
I got home, tucked my baby in, thanked God for the opportunity to get away, so that I may appreciate my blessings even more. Take some time for yourself, even if it's only for a few hours, Your kids will thank you!
