A few weeks ago I was just about at the end of my rope! I was completely worn out and was acting like a witchy-mom quite frequently. One night, after the kids had finally gone to sleep...I lost it and just broke down. I felt awful for how horrible I had been and yet at the same time- I didn't see any kind of end to how I was feeling. Cory, being the fixer that he is, was offering all kinds of suggestions...and when he suggested we go somewhere- I immediately said yes! This took him off guard a little because usually I justify why we don't need to leave our kids with someone and get away...but this night was different. After that- I was convinced and we booked a hotel in McCall for 2 nights for that very weekend. Thanks to my mom for watching the kids, Cory for indulging me, and lots and lots and lots of sleep...I came home from our little get-away a much happier mommy! It was the first time that I had left my kids at all (Brig has had a few sleep overs just for fun) but I had never left them and I had never even been away from Ellie overnight at all. It was much overdue and much appreciated...I think the kids and I just needed to miss each other a little bit;)
So basically, I am convinced of the importance of just husband and wife time.
I sure love this fella...even if we have wacky eyes:)
Agree 100%. IThinkAloneTimeAndCoupleTimeAwayFromTheKidsShouldBeRequired!

ReplyDeleteWhen you come up you and Jordan will have to go on a mini date and we will watch Brody. It feels soooo nice;)
DeleteWe ave to do this too. Even if it's just for a couple hours. Most of the time, of course, it's because I need it, not Terry!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I completely understand the importance of getting away. You two are so cute :)
