My little is 1.5 yo and we sent her to Gma/Gpa’s farm for the weekend. I didn’t know how badly I needed this time away from her. Being alone with my husband felt like we were young again- not mama and dada with serious responsibilities/obligations. We did nothing special but have loved every minute. Slept in, went for out for every meal (nothing fancy) without planning ahead, took our dog for long walks to the park. Want to take a nap? Why yes I do! Want to get lunch somewhere and not shovel our food in before the toddler time-bomb goes off? Yes please! Let’s get mani/pedis after lunch! Another nap? Ok! The only unfortunate thing is I couldn’t indulge in wine with lunch because I’m pregnant again. Another reason my husband and I really needed this time quality time though. I’m disappointed I waited this long to take a breather from our 1st. It’s easier said than done but we need to do this once a quarter. I felt like myself today- the girl who has few cares in the world and enjoys sitting quietly in the sun well after we’re done eating- just relaxing and talking about nothing of consequence. Can’t wait to spend one more slow morning with coffee in bed before she comes home. I love her with everything I have but I forgot how much I like my life sans kid. I’ve gotta be better to myself and my relationship with my husband. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2o73lna
