With the kids all home from spring break I needed a break!
As much as I love and adore being with them, I also find that I've grown accustomed to having them at school. Gone are the days where I changed diapers, hourly feedings, and have to sit down and rock them to sleep. (While going through it I loved
I have to say that spring break can really wear down a parent. Hearing I'm bored 3 times a day, multiplied by five can make you want to scream. (repeat: I am calm and relaxed...om.) So in order to cope with all of it I decided to take a time for me.
First on the list: Get a Mani/Pedi. It's a must. It fills me back up and makes me feel as though I can handle just about anything as long as it doesn't chip my nail or mess up the pretty little flower resting on my toe. (I love getting a design on my big toes, it's like little works of art you wear.)
Second on my list: Go to the Park. Make them tired, so they can't whine, complain, or fight. (being a referee makes me feel exhausted and tired. I think a diversion might be the thing we'll all need.)
The last thing on my list: Go on a Date. Of course, with my hubby. I love spending time with him. I love eating out, just to know you're eating something anyone else cooked, and not hearing, "I don't like meatloaf."(Although the one complaining likes meatballs. I haven't told him I use the same recipe for them both, minus the ground sausage. Weird kid!)
I think I'll even buy myself a nice creamy chocolate bar to push it right over the top, going from survival to indulgence.
