Oh sweet happiness in a jar!!(Side Blip#1-see bottom of blog) I'm over the moon right now.
After 4 (yup, I said 4) Fantasy Football draft nights in less than 1 month (2 of which were at my house. i.e. "bring us pizza, buy us beer, then take the kids and leave.")
My glorious husband has taken all 3...ALL 3...kids to a baseball game...an hour away! I'm about to squeal with joy! No really!
When Jeff called and told me this I was at a stop light...I hung up and did the happy dance! No, seriously. I had to roll my window down and explain to the car next to me. "I'm not crazy..I just have no kids at home tonight!!!!"
Is that really so wrong?
This morning I was at my breaking point and now..now...well now I'm eating my dinner, while it's still hot!!! OMG! I'm drinking a glass of wine that no one has accidentally spilled on me by running through the house. I am watching a movie..with bad words in it..oh yea!
Mommy is home alone!
I'm literally doing pirouettes in my living room. My phone rang and I pirouetted my way into the kitchen to answer my phone. I practically sang "Helllooo!" I was actually nice to a telemarketer. Who am I?
Mommy's not yelling, Mommy's not burning dinner, Mommy's not crying in the bathroom clutching a glass of wine..she just happy. (Blip#2)
I'm happier than Pharrell Williams singing "Happy" while swimming in Scrooge McDucks money pit, wearing a diamond bikini!! Awe...so happy.
Tonight, I'm going to blog. No stopping to wipe a poopy butt, or turn on X-Box, or put a band-aide on an invisible owie. I will clean up no spills, fix no hot dogs for dinner, cutting each one into 72 tiny pieces so no one chokes on them.
I'm going to go to the bathroom with the door shut! (Oh yea, whose a bad ass?!)
This Mommy is going to watch Sex & the City...because every time it comes on my sons yells "Mom's watching a show about Sex!!' I'm going to brush my teeth with a toothbrush that hasn't been in the dogs mouth, I'm going to read a book that doesn't have any pictures in it!
It's funny to think about the lives we had pre-children, laughable really. Who needs to lay in bed and cuddle on a rainy Saturday? Who needs to hold hands and walk on the beach. Who needs to eat at fancy restaurants? I did. Then kids. LOL!
Now I lay in bed until 6:00 am with 5 bodies in one bed, a nice dinner out is McDonalds, and walking on the beach? HA! I'll never walk on a beach the same way, without 3 little sets of hands between my husband and me, wanting us to "swing" them entire time.
(Damn, I hope they don't grow up too fast. )
But regardless, sometimes you need a little alone time, a little "me" time. Don't loose yourself in a mountain of Legos, but take a breather every so often to remember who you are.
The Mommy who drinks wine, watches chick shows, and paints her toe nails. If you feel guilty, you can always ask God for forgiveness later. "Forgive me father for I have Zined."
(For any new readers: Blip=Side note that needs to be explained but not in the middle of my blog OR a really great thought that needs to be read.)
#1-Happiness in a jar...duh..it's wine.
#2-I really do LOVE my kids, I'm just thrilled to have some "me"time" I'm about to burst into a rainbow of Skittles!
