Since Brax was born I have been told by so many people that I need to take some "me" time, but it is so hard. I think things change when you become a mom and you develop this weird feeling when you leave. Maybe it's just me or maybe it's the fact that Brax is my first child but I always always always feel weird/guilty about leaving him. Not necessarily leaving him during the day when I am at work but just to go on a date on the weekend or to go shopping. I often get "great" ideas that I will run to Kohls or Target and shop around while Brax and Buddy stay home but I find myself driving faster than normal to the store, looking around the store at an unusually fast pace, then racing home. I am used to him going to Mrs. D's house during the school year and we agreed that it would be best for him to still go part time this summer just to keep some sort of routine and familiarity. So, he goes on Tuesday and Thursdays. I feel like I have been so super busy lately that I have yet to have a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon (after summer school) that I could have some "me" time. Today is the first day and I am dying to go get him. I think I will make it until about 2 and have to go, haha. I am not finding this as easy as it was in my head. Even this morning I thought to myself "I will come home after school and catch a nap." WRONG! I am counting the minutes......

Even though it's much more involved, I would still rather go out as a whole family than by myself 99% of the time. Take the me time when you need it, and then don't be guilted into more! :) go get him when you want to!
Girl I understand the family thing. Even if Buddy does not need anything at the store I always ask for us to go as a family. I am just not good at taking "me" time yet, ha! Maybe one day... but not yet!
