Mommy Time

I know Big Momma isn't the only one that on certain days looks forward to going to work so that she has some time to herself.
Not that I have time to myself with the phone raining, people coming in, someone needing this done, that ordered, can you mail this, yadda yadda yadda. But for some reason it's much easier ignore someone that didn't come from my womb and doesn't go "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" A million times.
Lil Momma had her Doctors appointment today and her babysitter, blah on holiday breaks and school being closed for TWO WEEKS!, brought her to my work because thankfully Big Momma thought ahead and had a Doctor right around the corner. She was so excited to be here and Big Momma was all chaotic. "Don't touch that! Don't do that!" LOL.
She was in my "Mommy Time" Bubble and while I love her to a million little pieces, her four year old mind hasn't totally wrapped around the concept that Mommies work is not her bedroom where she can touch and play with everything.
This is one Momma that could never work from home and Big Momma give's props to those that do! Good for you!
I use this time for my adult interaction, my lunch is for reading without interruption (on the by and by pick up Dan Brown's Lost Symbol, AMAZING! woot woot to my Kindle! www.amazon.com ), and to eat what I want for lunch without "I don't like peperoni, I don't want eggs, I don't eat that Mommy."
I think every parent needs some them time.
So single Mothers, single Fathers. Take your "Me Time", don't feel bad about it. Shoot even if your not a single parent. Take time for you. Something I heard recently and is sticking with me. I love it.
"Treat yourself as good as you treat your best friend. You go the extra mile for your best friend to make them smile, laugh or feel better, why not do it for yourself?"
