I tend to not get our house to myself very often. Last night was one of those rare occasions. My husband came home wanting to go see the Cars 2 movie which is in the dollar theater here locally. He suggested we all go. Normally, I would jump on the chance of a family outing but the last few days have been pretty rough with our youngest child. I asked if just Makenzie and him could go. Mary was already gone at her ballet class.
I almost did not know what to do with myself but finally chose sitting and reading a book. It has been a long time since I have been able to sit for any length of time and read a book undisturbed. It was wonderful. When everyone got home a couple of hours later, I was refreshed and ready to be a much better wife and Mom. I forget how important taking time for myself is and how much better I can handle the everyday stresses when I do. I will need to remember that more often.
