I would do anything for just a day all alone. No cleaning, no cooking, no chasing tots, no husband, no coupons, no nothing. Just 24 hours of time that I could do whatever I please with. My chances of that happening are pretty slim, and with a new baby possibly arriving early in May, the chances are super slim. But that doesn't take away from dream, right? Oh a massage would be nice too, but I don't want to get to greedy.
Well in thinking about this I begin to wonder, does this make me selfish? Does wanting a day completely alone make me a bad person? Is it wrong for me to deprive my own mom of being with her adult daughter and granddaughter because this momma wants a break? What do you think? How do you handle the multiple generations of motherhood on this day of celebration of being a mom?

I don't think its selfish at all to wanna spend the day alone, heck we all do!! I think its important for a mom to have time to herself show she can recharge her batteries,so to speak. And I think its sweet to spend Mothers day with your mom, as I haven't since I was a kid. I think espically nowadays you aren't guaranteed to see the next one spend that one day with your mom and then have your day another day???
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the answer is, but I'd also do anything for a day to be with myself and no responsibility!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you could handle a full 24 hours alone lol. I think you would miss your family way too much. That's how I am anyway. If I don't have Jensen I have mini panic attacks, and constantly feel like I am forgetting something, even if he has just gone to the store with my mom or husband for an hour. But maybe a few hours of alone time would do the trick!
