Get Away

Get Away | 4/14/09 11:55 AM
Sometimes when I'm out running an errand by myself, I just want to keep driving and not go home. I want to hit the road, find a luxury hotel and hole up for a few days by myself. Room service, sleep, lounging by the pool. Daddy is home with the baby... I'm reading trashy magazines and watching romantic comedies on the television.

Oh my gosh, I could have posted this a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure how old your little ones are, but I am a new mom to a 6 week old son. Up until a couple of weeks ago, I seriously wanted to just get up out of bed, start my car, drive to my parents, and get in the tub with a bubble bath and never get out. I had never imagined that I would feel so helpless and want to just take off! Luckily, things are MUCH better now, although, a weekend at a spa wouldn't be so bad either!

I guess that's what Mother's Day is for. My hubby has been asking me what I want to do and let me tell you, it involves some time with the family in the morning... and then a lot of time alone, hopefully at a spa!

I totally understand that feeling. I am with my baby 24/7 and that is mostly because there is nowhere else i'd rather be, but the other times it is because my family lives in another province. I feel alone and like my fiancee can go wherever he wants anytime and i have to be at home cause i am the "mommy" it is hard cause i need space too. i have a 14 week old and i am already losing touch with who i am and hardly ever socialize except with my mom on the phone. I am glad to hear i am not the only one who feels frustrated at times.
