Ever get so caught up in being Mom, Daughter, Employee, etc. that you never make time for yourself?
When was the last time you left the children with a sitter... and hit the door running!
Recently, my husband and I embarked on a glorious trip.
Imagine - five days and four nights of "adult time."
We had adventures beyond the cosmic explanation! For instance... We stayed up late; we tried to sleep in. We took long baths. We ate at non-kid-friendly dining establishments. Most importantly - we got a chance to talk. And it was about topics other than child rearing or work... Well, mostly. :)
We emerged from our vacation with a renewed appreciation for one another as people - not just Mom and Dad.
Of course we missed our children - but taking time for ourselves allowed us to re-focus, so we can be the best parents - and partners - that we can be.
How often do you treat yourself to some adult time?
