Time off

Time off is a rare thing when you have kids...someone whom you trust to watch them for an extended period of time, to feed them, care for them act as your extention...but do we really get a break?? To a degree yes..you don't have the little voice saying."mom I'm hungry, what can we do, where are we going, can I have a snack?" but being a mom does not close like a door. Even when my kids are gone for the night I still go into their rooms and listen, sit and take in who they are. It's date night tonight so we have time off to eat a great meal, to have adult talks and spend some time romantically alone..we all need this to be able to remember why we are together in the first place...why we chose to travel this journey together. In my husband I have my best friend, confidant, sparring partner, doctor, counselor, teacher and lover. Time out means I get to be me and not mom, just me a girl in love with a boy.
