Time out for mom

Thursday has rolled its big old self around yet again. The weekend is near and Time out for mom is amongst us again! Just to refresh you, in case you have no idea what I am talking about; Every Thursday us momma's report to the blogosphere and our Theta Mom , our creator of the forbidden momma time, and shout out to the world how we selfishly took 1 whole hour during the last 7 days to ourselves. We share our enjoyment and our passions that we cram into that tiny 1 hour that enables us to keep our sanity and not lock our kids in closet while we stuff Betty Crocker cakes down our throats. Okay so maybe I still stuff cakes down my throat even with a time out, but that is beside the point. So back to the subject at hand. Theta Mom got us all involved and cracks her wooden spoon each week to invite us to share how we do in fact remember to take care of ourselves so that we can be the BESTEST momma's in the world!

And this week I report I was a huge FAILURE!!! We had a lovely family outing last weekend with Love to Shop Mom and her clan, but no alone momma time. Monday and Tuesday brought upon some fabulous tummy troubles for this mom. So I guess laying in the bathroom vomiting while daddy watched Baby DIVA could sort of be alone mommy time out time, but I promise you it is not an hour I ever want to participate in again. I am very sad that the tummy bug kept me from my usual mommy time out Nightclub cardio class. I feel the backside of me has enlarged a whole doughnut size. Or is more of a cupcake....Dangit! BIG FAILURE!!

I also snagged an at home job! GO ME!! I had a 3 hour training course this week, by myself, locked in our cold office. Does that count? NAH, I didn't think so either. Although I am thrilled to pieces to have a flexible work from home gig that lends us the ability to have some cash flow, it is still work and is NOT private momma time. FAILURE!!!

I am hoping to snag some quiet ME momma moments here in the next few days. With our Big Wedding looming and only 9 days away, I need those quiet minutes to keep this Pink Hair on my head on not yanked out by the roots and laying on the floor!!! Good luck fellow Theta Mom time outters! I am off to live vicariously through your mommy moments!!!
