I haven’t been writing on my blog in awhile because I really haven’t had the time.  I never realized being a stay at home mom could be so busy.  Talia has been teething the last couple of weeks and has been very difficult to put to bed.  She is fine during the day, but the minute the evening hits, its very hard.  She has had 4 teeth coming in at once, and my happy go lucky baby turns miserable past 7 o’clock.  Once she is asleep though, she is asleep (thank god).  Nevertheless, once 10pm rolls around, I really can’t think straight to write.  However, things are looking up.

I went yesterday to get my eyebrows waxed.  The one little thing I do for myself to make me feel somewhat attractive post kids.  I hate plucking brows, so I would much rather get them done by a professional.  I laid down on the bed, listening to the traquil music that they put on for you in the room.  The nice aromas of the scents, the soothing hot wax on my skin….and then RIP!!!!!.  However, I lay there thinking, “wow, I could fall asleep right now”.  I thought to myself, this is really twisted.  I am getting my hair ripped out by the root, and all I can think is “how relaxing“.  Am I really that warped?

The answer is NO.  I realized that I spend all my day focussing on my kids, that the minute I am away from them, not having to think about the routine, the tantrums, the teeth coming in, eat your supper, it was a welcomed break.  It was so nice to not here “Momeeeeeeee” or feel like a milking cow.

Then my husband called 45 minutes later and it was back to being needed.

Break away and find yourself again.  It may only be for a half an hour, but the payoff will help you be a better mother.
