Mommy Needs a Time Out

I had a bit of a challenging week as a stay at home mom. I have also seen my husband have a very intense week at work. I realized that mommy and daddy needed a bit of a time out. I got my thoughts together and called my mom to watch the boys for mommy and daddy to go today and have a bit of a time out. I used to have a hard time and be hard on myself for asking for help. I have now realized that if I want to be the mommy and wife that my kids and husband need me to be I have to put myself first from time to time.

My husband and I are taking the day and going to go thrift store shopping to see what kind of treasures we can find and we are also going to go eat and spend some time together. We don't get very much uninterrupted time to talk throughout the week. Taking a time out and getting to go and have uninterrupted time to talk with each other is priceless. I am excited to see what the day holds.

I wanted to encourage all stay at home moms to take a time out for yourself even if it is just for a little while so that you can process thoughts for yourself. Being the best mom and wife you can be is the most important gift you can offer your children and if you are feeling worn out and bogged down you are not at your best. I am realizing the importance of taking the time for myself. I am going to go and charge my batteries and I hope that you all do the same.
