Yes I am looking forward to Winter Break ending and getting my world back to normal. I have enjoyed all this time with my family, the holidays and the birthdays. However I am burnt out. I am missing the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I miss juggling everyone's schedules, and PAT meetings and volunteering at my son's school. I miss my daily routines of getting everyone ready for the day and out the door for school buses and car rides. I miss the time it is just my baby girl and I alone. I miss being able to get house work done and not tripping over people and toys all day.
It's funny that leading up to Winter Break I was burnt out on all of that and now I want my normal busy SAHM life back. The life where there are no breaks and you have to be on your toes constantly. Sure, with everyone home I was running around trying to keep everyone entertained and putting on parties and making the holidays special. However it just was different. I never really had me time, alone time. With my son in school and Husband in his Law classes, during the day for some days, it is just Hailey and I. Once Hailey is down for a nap, I am free! It is just me and whatever task I want to tackle to get done, or sit down for a coffee break.
It is a moment in time where I can shutdown. The last three and a half weeks, I have NOT had this moment of bliss. In fact I don't get it today, when most schools have started. Why? Because my school is lame and not opening until TOMORROW!!! TOMORROW!!! TOMORROW!!!

Just as I typed this my adorable son came in here to let me know that it has been a LONG time since I played with him. Mind you, I just stepped away 10 minutes ago and before that I was making him his favorite swiss cheese quesidilla on a panini press, but before that I was playing with him for HOURS! It is funny how kids can exaggerate time. Well I must hurry or I am sure my son will start wasting away because Mama hasn't been playing with him. ;) On the joys of being a SAHM.
Can I have a vacation soon?

Trying to get a good shot of me with my little ones is never easy. Baby Girl had just clawed my nose in this picture.
This was as good as we were going to get. No really it was. Trust me you don't want to see the other shots my husband took trying for that perfect one.
I thought i was the only one wanting break to be over!!! Lol i felt kind of guilty about that... Sometimes us SAHMs need some alone time to regather some sanity :) and be the best moms and wives we can be.
ReplyDeleteoh you are NOT alone!!! I was beginning to fray and fall apart! LOL
