Today, I am cleaning with my earbuds in, music cranked. First of all, John is home, so my girls are not being ignored. I need a break sometimes. This is mine. I don't have to leave the house, or get away from my little boogers. I know that all moms need some alone time, but it doesn't make it any easier to admit. I feel guilty.
This is the epitome of being a mother. Regardless of what YOU need or want, the everyday needs of your children will always come first. The idea that you CAN take a break from being surrounded by dirty diapers is a foreign one. You can do it, yes, but how often do you question it? How often does your mind go back to the children you'd do anything for? How often do you think you're selfish for wanting soemething of your own? For me, it happens a lot. I love my girls, and if I didn't, taking a few minutes to myself wouldn't be so hard.
