Just wondering if anyone else just feels the need to escape when your kids have been sick(one after the other overlapping), the house is forgotten so it's dirty and you've been home for almost 2 weeks straight and then you get sick because you're not sleeping and now that you feel better you just want to take a personal leave for just half a day at least to re-energize? Especially knowing how much catch up you have to do! It's funny because the times I have a chance to enjoy personal time ,it's usually for a couple of hours, I get so much energy back! It's like drinking 10 energy drinks. Brad always asks me what I did because I come home wired:) Seriously I get such a great burst of energy! I know I must not be the only one!
It's not like I do anything crazy,see, I like to go to Micheal's or Jo Ann's or even just grocery shopping! I can actually read things that when I am with the kids I just hope it's what I want and throw them in the cart. Thankfully my kids are not whiny, tantruming kids at the store like I've seen (scary) so I don't mind going anywhere with them. The are well behaved so it's not that I don't like to be with my kids, I LOVE IT, I think what energizes me is just being able to hear one voice in my head at a time :) Plus I can concentrate:) and if any of you really know me you know how hard that is with kids around! I love to see what my kids are doing and saying. I guess it's a reconnection being out by myself.
Just curious on what re-energizes you after a tough,stuck in the house week or two? Stress or not, sickness or not. For what ever reason. Maybe I can get some good ideas.

I love the pics of Sawyer eating!! I need to start feeding Bree things like that. Cute kids!
WOW! We must be on the same brain wavelength because I was so having one of those days! Ryan started his new job on Monday so between work, callings (mostly his), a birthday party and now 4 sick people and kids in our ward we have talked for maybe 30 minutes this whole week! So I was thinking I have had the kids the entire time and I NEED A BREAK!! So I am crazy like you and like to shop by MYSELF at JoAnns (I actually got to go tonight alone) and Michael's because there is so much there you need to think about some decisions! Anyways I love my kids but having no breaks wears on me and all of them have colds, Reese (4 months) has the worst so we are watching her closely! Sorry this is so stinkin long!!
I totally hear ya! I am always stuck at home with the youngest who is only 3 months so hes not that hard to watch. My husband tried to make me take him with me to a stinkin 15 minute Temple Recommend interview. That is where I drew the line. I like to go shopping too and go to my parents but when I do that they say "Where are the grandkids"? Even leaving the house to check the mail is kinda nice..... yah I guess you can say I live on the edge. Oh and sorry mine is MEGA long too!
I know how you feel. I've had sick kids and me sick for the last 2 weeks. We're finally better and I had to get out! I went and had a girls night last night and stayed out till 2 am. It was so fun. Just dinner and a movie and chatting. I'm re-energized!
Shopping will do that for me though too.
well, I kinda understand what you mean. You would think that work would do it, and to a certain point it does. But I still never have time to do anything all by myself... Someday. Lucky I only have 1 so far.. I hope everyone is all better finally...
I am spoiled. When Darin gets home I run out the door to do my time to myself. I go to the gym. I feel tons better when I come back.
It is important for Mommy's to have alone time or time to spend with friends with no kids around. And like you said, even if it is for half a day! Have you had your day off yet??? If you come into town on a Thursday I don't have the kids that I watch usually on that day and I can get someone to watch my kids for a few hours; WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING AND HAVE A GIRLS DAY!!! OR EVEN A HALF GIRLS DAY!!!! :)
Wow!! Your blog is great. The kids have grown so much in the past six months. I hope you are able to get the down time you need. The one year mark is on its way and maybe with it you'll get your life back. :)
Take care!
