Being a teacher I really look forward to the weekends. I get to stay in bad later (I wish), read a book (which did not happen till Sunday night between 9 and 11) and just get a break from kids (this too was impossible.. even with one gone I still had one to deal with).
So when I say I needed a break from the weekend its because I spent the 2 days taking care of the kids, cooking on demand and cleaning and washing clothes. The 2 days flew by so fast and I hardly got a chance to myself. I basically played housewife and maid and mother. There was no ME time... no time with the HUBBY and no time to feel as if my presence was worth more.
The funniest thing was ... in-between my daughter sleeping and me trying to wash and fold clothes I tried watching Lord of the Ring (too ambitious... only saw the first hour before getting distracted with other things).
I really should not complain but because the week before was tough and I found myself having to do everything for the kids without help... I was just hoping for a little bit of help .... from anybody. But no help came and I trudged through the weekend knowing that it was back to work Monday morning. I know many have weekends like this and busier weeks before and ahead... but sometimes a little breather is needed.
I really hope this is a better week and I hope you guys are having a great day.

You do need a break and some time for yourself!
ReplyDeleteAh, sometimes weekends are just like that. I spent the weekend cleaning up after a puking kid, but we were supposed to have his birthday party this weekend, which would have kept me pretty busy. Sometimes you just need a weekend after the weekend. Hope your week is much better and the following weekend is a relaxing one!
ReplyDeleteI have started having my husband watch the kids on a week night for 3-ish hours. I take time to do something for myself, get a pedicure, grab starbucks and peruse target. Anything to give me alone time. It works out great and I can be me for a bit.
ReplyDeleteI agree we all need a helping hand sometimes. I hope you get one soon and are able to breath. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is out of town over march break, I'm going to need a break from the break!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to have some you time soon - if need be lock yourself in the bathroom with some nice bubbles and some candles ;) xx
ReplyDeleteHope this weekend's better. :(

Mothers everywhere are nodding at knowing what it means to need a break from the weekend. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think it's so important to take a break and do whatever is necessary to recharge. I hope that you get must needed time for yourself.
