<p>Yesterday I did some shopping.....by myself. It was glorious!
I think sometimes as a mom you need some alone time. Yes, I work 3 days a week, but I work with other people, I'm not alone. B is breastfed so when I'm not working, I'm not away from her from.more than a couple of hours. And sometimes that's very tiring and you just need a break. So yesterday I left J with a bag of milk and said I'll see you later and headed off to the big town. I got some materials at Joann fabrics, shopped at Target, and took myself out to lunch. And by that time I had run out of money so I went home :). <br>
But just those few hours of alone time were refreshing. I felt more relaxed when I got back.I think as mothers to be the best moms we can, we need that time to decompress and just take stock of ourselves.
That is not being selfish, you are still a mom. All of my alone time shopping, was for B, so she's never far from my mind. But I also got to reconnect with the before baby me, and it was nice to have time with her again.
So make some time for yourself, have your significant other take the kids, and take a bath, lock yourself in the bedroom and read a book, go to the movies, shop, do whatever makes you feel good. You'll find that your a better parent because of it.
What do you do to have some Me time?
The picture below is my lunch, and a trashy magazine! And no worrying about a baby meltdown! :)
