Shane came home for lunch and for whatever reason (probably a mixture of my period hormones and just being cooped up in the house) I just NEEDED to get out and away.
He was sitting there eating and I calmly went and put on a pair of jeans, grabbed my purse and said "I'm going to go get soda" Phoenix immediately starts in "I want to go I want to go I want to go" I tell him "No, you stay here with Shane." "I caaaaan't" I just looked straight at shane and said "Mommy needs some MOMMY time." He just goes "Oh, okay." and nods. Then asks if everything is okay. "Yeah I just need to get out and breathe some fresh air without my ear being talked off for a few minutes."
I give Phoenix a kiss and tell him "I'll be right back, if you're good I'll get you lunch." "Okay Mommy! I'll be REALLY good!"
I drove down to the video store and rented Phoenix a 360 game to keep his attention for the afternoon, then drove to Wal-mart and picked up a 12 pack of soda, then right over to Sonic and ordered myself a route 44 DR. Pepper with Vanillia and got Shane a drink and Phoenix a whacky pack meal, then came home in a much more relaxed state.
Everyone was ecstatic when I walked in the door (You'd think I'd been gone for a week!).
Sometimes Mommy's need a break, sometimes I just wish I could get it for more than 10 minutes.
