Me time

Today was trying. It wasn't anything big. It was a bunch of little things, all complied they made one big thing. I hate days like today. I struggle with my temper, I say and do things that aren't the most flattering for my character and then I feel like a giant jerk after. Maybe it's the stress of a household income being cut almost in 1/2, maybe it's a sick kid or the kid that's getting taken off the nap time schedule, maybe it's the weather. Maybe, it's all of it. Whatever it is, I wish it would all go away.

I'm looking forward to my silver lining this week. Dinner with the girls. I haven't gotten time to myself in ages.  I know that really doesn't count as time to myself but, it will be at least an hour of time to feel human. I actually get to eat my dinner at a normal time. While it's still warm. Nobody will need me to cut their food or ask for a drink right after I sit down. It'll be nice to be waited on. This should not be taken as me complaining about my children, I'm thankful for every minute I hear their sweet voices. I just need what every mom needs- a break. If they tell you they don't need a break, they're lying. Big time. Sometimes, a mom just needs time with friends to remember she had her own separate identity long before she was Mommy.  It'll be nice to be reminded of all the funny things we did together. To talk about the stupid things we did and how we all survived whatever life handed us. Come to think of it, I've got some pretty phenomenal women in my life. I'm so thankful for them. I think God knew I needed all of them. Even the ones that drive me nuts. I need them too.
