I have done it. I was able to hop on a plane and leave my family for a few days. Six to be exact. I'm thousands of miles away from them and though I am so happy I took time to replenish my soul, I miss them terribly. Funny how distance does that.
While I have been gone, I have been able to go up on the balcony and look down at my life. I've spent time with other moms talking about our kids. I've stayed in bed for an hour after waking (unheard of in my "real" life) just chatting with a good friend about how much we love our families and how at the same time they are killing us slowly. I have had time to reflect on who I am as a mother and who I am as a woman simply because...I've had the time to do it.
I am re energized and ready to jump back in and continue on our path. I'm ready to tweak a few things that I see need to change. I am able to realize that because I took time to get away. I have been reading smutty romance books which in turn have made me excited to return to my other half and pick up where we left off...refreshed and rejuvenated...fully aware that I will be handed both kids as he runs far away.
I recommend that you take time to step away from your life as well. A few days away with some amazing friends has been what I have needed. I have been "me" for a few days. Now I look forward to being called Mommy again.
