Time for me

The morning has turned into a time for me. Boys are away to school, Daddy and Colin are still asleep.(Well, Colin was up about 5 times throught the night?? so he is being left to sleep in this morn) I am on my own. And with so many things to do, I carve a little time for some word flow.
This is something I miss!!! Quiet, alone time. I can hardly find a spot to go in this house at any other time of the day. Only when my cup is overflowing do I look forward to the kids being just a little older. I made the choice to start over with baby years again knowing it was a good few years of hard work, but with the whole house abuzz 2-4-7, it seems my quiet space has gotten smaller and smaller. I love my family so very much. I am fulfilled in this life I have with them. I miss them when we are apart for too long. But man, this peace and quiet is pretty friggin lovely too! We all need time to ourselves. We need to hear our thoughts and do the thing that is just for us. With an unemployed sweetie, a won't go to bed teenager, an active and noisy 6 year old and a baby that does not stop, well, this girl feels a little smothered at times!! Like February. Whew! Here is to spring, cannot wait to be able to get out and breathe again. It is good for all of us.
I am on a forum of moms where a recent conversation included parents detailing how they never leave their children, ever, and I was like...... "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! (that is what that would feel like to me)I will never believe that a parent should never leave their child. I am woman first, mother second. Nothing comes before my children except my sanity.... if I lose that, well, they will have lost too!!!
