when Mommy is happy

Being a good parent is an all consuming occupation especially with the little ones whom you must watch every waking minute. Its a job with no pay or sick leave but it does get easier.... for a while then the teenage years hit and well, you're basically back to having to watch them every waking minute LOL Making time for yourself, and just as important, date time with your man, is a difficult task. But do not despair, things will ease up and a full night's sleep or a relaxing bubble bath will not just be a dream. I see many mothers that are so eager to have a break from their little ones and while I empathize, I also want to remind them that these years go by quickly and the babies grow so fast that it is a shame not to enjoy and appreciate what precious time we have with them...... SIGH, I wish I could find babysitters for all of them, for at least a little ME time because everyone knows that if Mommy is happy, the whole house is happy too!
