Something happened tonight that never has before - or for 8 months anyways...

~Roo'sMama~ wrote: I was alone in my house, with no baby. Dh and I were supposed to go to his parents for dinner but I had a migraine so he offered to just take Roo and let me stay home.

I took a nice long shower, and I didn't have to hurry or listen to whining. I even had time to shave! Then I ate a nice quiet dinner (leftovers) and watched some tv ~ then I got pretty bored. It was kind of nice to be by myself for a bit... it felt so weird though at first. I just stood in the dining room and looked around for a few minutes after Dh and Andrew left. Well ok actually I watched them leaving from the window and then I stood around trying to figure out what to do with myself.

huggybugboy replied: Good for you!! Its kinda nice huh? Kind of a guilty pleasure. Hope you had fun and feel relaxed now!

kayla's mama replied: Its nice but yet I always feel guilty. Hope you enjoyed your time alone!!!!

C&K*s Mommie replied: I feel guilty too, and I feel wierd at the same time. Like what now??

ediep replied: don't feel guilty, you deserve some time alone and its really nice for DH to get some one on one Andrew time.

luvmykids replied: I always spend the first half trying to figure out what to do, and the second half wishing I could do the first half over!

Glad you got some alone time!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Lol I only felt a little guilty. I did feel bad when they got back though, because Dh said that Andrew cried the whole time they were there. He is such a mama's boy right now.

luvmykids replied:
I love that, sometimes I pretend to wish he wasn't but I secretly love it!

5littleladies replied:
Lol!! That is exactly what I do on those oh-so-rare occassions that I'm home alone.

I'm glad you got some down time. I think that is so important-otherwise you turn into a raving lunatic like me.

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Lol - I'm getting there. But more because of this never ending winter than anything else... I haven't been a mom long enough for it to make me crazy yet.

kimberley replied: funny how things change after a baby. hope you enjoyed your time to yourself

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Awww! I'm so glad you got a moment to yourself. I still stand around and scratch my head when I'm alone. Of course any other time I can think of a million things I want to do "If I didn't have the kids around."

C&K*s Mommie replied: exactly!!

Hope you get to have some more "you" time a little more often.

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Omg yes... if I had some alone time when I didn't have a migraine I would clean, clean and clean some more. I actually almost did a little cleaning last night, but decided that wouldn't help my head any.
I'm not the best at keeping my house clean, and lately with the teething it's been impossible.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
Me too!!! I miss them when they're gone, but can't wait for them to leave again! Glad you had some well-deserved alone time!

Edward's Mommy replied: I haven't had a break in 7 months that Edward has been here. Sometimes I think it might be nice to have some time to myself. But for the most part, I can't get enough of my baby and I miss him when he's sleeping. DH gets most of the breaks. If I go somewhere, Edward goes with me. I hardly go anywhere or do anything without Edward attached to my hip.

A&A'smommy replied: awwww LOL I know the feeling its SO weird!!! I'm glad you got to have a night to yourself though you deserve it!!!
