Take a break?! -really?

So yesterday I got to take a minor break off Mother duty. I still had the 1 month old but my 3 year old was staying with his Nana. So when I say minor I'm referring to less work on the parenting aspect. Felt nice, I enjoyed my time away from the house hanging with Ms.Heather. Its important to me as a mother to remember to get some "ME" time. Love my kids and my family to death, but I just need those moments where I can relax and actually have a decent in depth thought with out hearing "Mommy" or "Babe, can you do this for me". Taking a day out to just look pretty and laugh with a friend, going to a spa or get my nails done (something girly) makes me feel much better and level headed inside. Motherhood is so much of a different life concept than I expected. It's 24/7 non-stop worrying, learning, providing, trying & loving duties. With each day I hope to grow more and more into the best mother I can possibly be and still keep my sanity.
