Today has been a hectic day with alot of running around.  My daughter to school by 8am, then home for a few minutes and then back to the school for the kids talent show by 9am, later back home to call a couple clients, start the laundry and then off to Wal Mart then Radio Shack, back to the house to put the clothes in the dryer and then off to pick Taylor up from school.  That wasn’t the end of my day after picking Taylor up I still needed to pack her a bag for a weekend with Grandma, and I needed to make sure I had the laptop I was giving my mom was all set up properly for her to use, and then off for the long drive out of town to meet up with my mom and then spending time with her showing her how to operate a laptop computer as my mom has never had her own computer and never even used a laptop and then I was back on the road back home and finally around 9pm, I get to stop and sit down for a few minutes before I begin working on my blog.   So, as you see I have had a long, busy day…

But now its my free weekend, no kids, no phones, no clients, nothing for at least 48hrs, its my anniversary weekend and we are going to breakfast and then off to the lake for some peace and relaxation.  I don’t get many days off to myself of with just time with my husband just the two of us.  So, when I get my 1 free weekend each month when my mom gets my daughter, I try to relax or do something for myself because there isn’t anyone taking care of me and many times that included me as well, I get so wrapped up in taking care of the kids, my husband, the house, the dogs, the fish, our business and now that summer is closing in the swimming pool as well. So there isn’t alot of time left for me and no one seems to think I also need to be cared for, but I guess that is how many women live.

I love my daughter but I also need a little, “me time”.  I think we could all use a little more time for ourselves.  Well, my day was so busy I didn’t get to the gym but I will be back on Monday.  Well, since its been such a long busy day I think  I will sign off for now and hopefully be back on the blog on Monday as I said this weekend is relax only weekend..Til next time..

I don’t know if it’s just me, but my daughter is driving me crazy lately.  It seems she talks non stop and I can’t get any peace and quiet.  I know I must sound awful but honestly I think I am going to pull my hair out. 

This summer will be the first summer that we can’t afford summer camp, and for 9 long weeks we will be together 24 hrs a day and I am wondering if I am going to being to listen to her talk, sing and ask questions every minute of the day.

I am not sure if there is an age when kids go from quiet to non stop talking, and then hopefully back to a little bit quieter?   I am trying to think of all the fun things we can go and do together, so that we aren’t locked in the house all summer, because then I would go crazy.

Don’t get me wrong I love my daughter, she is beautiful and full of energy and she is also a motor mouth.  Am I the only mom out there willing to admit that my childs not stop talking, noise making and questioning me on every thing is a little overwhelming at times? 

Taylor is bright, energetic, smart and out going..She amazes me how she can pick up a new friend any where we go. When we go on vacation and go to the pool, she will walk up to another little girl and say, “hey want to be my friend” and like that she has another new friend.  Sometimes I think its great she isn’t really shy, so she doesn’t struggle to make friends, or struggle to have fun, no matter where we go.

I think I was also the motor mouth in our house, when I was young so maybe she is getting me back for me driving my mom crazy when I was a little girl.  It seems she is alot like me when it comes to being talkative, and also being a tomboy but I don’t think I made friends as easily.

Am I a bad mom for thinking, I wish I could just get a little peace and quiet?  I don’t think so, I think all moms want to pull thier hair out some point, our kids are wonderful but we still need time for ourselves and we shouldn’t have to feel bad for needing space.

I mean I hear my husband say he is going fishing or to play or golf so he can get a little time for himself all the time, I mean ALL the time.  But how often does our husbands think, my wife could use a little time for herself and that they would take the kids for the day, well in my house not very often.

I think every once in a while my husband thinks of having a little daddy / daughter time but more often its me at home while he goes off enjoying himself, while I stay home with the girls. 

So, if anyone else out there faces the same challenges of little motor mouths that make you want to go hide, hit me back and please be easy on me. I am not a bad mom just telling the truth and so hopefully other moms will feel they can share their mommy stories with me, we can talk about anything and every thing.  Kids, family, work, life in general and we can support each other and its okay to tell the things you always wanted to say but felt your freinds and family might judge you on, I won’t judge you for being honest and telling what’s going on in your family! 

So, please join in a let me know, what going on in your life..happy chatting!
