Alone Time

I’m one of those people who needs frequent “alone time”.

You know, the kind of time that someone with kids never gets.

Finally, for the first time in ages, I’m getting some of it while James and my sister take the kids for dinner.  Yes, I’m skipping out on the rare occasion when we go out for dinner just to get away from all that damn noise.

I hate noise, and I’m on the verge of snapping.  Just too much chaos with two noisy, whiny, mommy-I’m-getting-sick-come-wipe-my-ass-and-the-shit-I-left-all-over-the-bathroom-floor fussy kids.

Today I don’t want to be a mom.

    Yes! I can even see the signs of starting to lose it with my daughter and try to walk away. What does she do, but follow me! UGH! Right about now, I’m ready to check out…

    I love my kids, my husband and my family…but with everything going on in our lives, work and just me being in my own head? HORRIBLE! Too bad I’m the only one home with the kids b/c dh is working. But I would probably just curl up and cry anyway…

    Sorry, what I’m trying to say is I feel for ya! Enjoy your peace and quiet.

    Thank you. Only another parent can really understand how hard it is. Knowing I’m not alone really helps me feel better about teetering on the edge.

    This is one of the things I dread about having kids. The nights when Kyle is out of the house for class are a God-send. I don’t know what I would do if he were here every second that I am.

    All I ever wanted for Mother’s Day was for their dad to take the kids out of the house for the whole day so I could have some peace and quiet. I’m with you on the need for alone time.

    I’m a new mom but I already understand your need for alone time. Be thankful James helps by taking the girls out even if it is only once in a.blue moon my husband won’t even hold his daughter for 5min so any alone time ever is out of the question
