I totally understand that once you become a wife and mother, your life is no longer your own. I get that, but does that mean that I can’t have at least 15 minutes alone? Hell, I can’t take a shower without hearing someone call my name, which has been changed to mommy and honey.

Since the kids went back to school today I thought that I could spend some time doing a few things for myself. On my list of things to do were, get a mani/pedi and pick up a non school related book. That was my plan. Instead I spent the morning shopping with Craig for a new cell phone, because he totally had to have my input. Once we got home, I couldn’t escape him and his new phone. So my day off turned into a lesson about how to really appreciate the Helio Heat. By the time the kids came home from school I was so frustrated that I just walked right out the front door. I only left for an hour, and I hate to admit it, but it was the best hour I’ve ever had. I got a cuppa tea and just sat at the park.

There are a few changes about to take place in my home. My family has to realize that I need some space and that it’s not the end of the world if I spend a few hours away from home…hell I’ll even settle for being in different room in the house.
