I really wanted to go snowshoeing today.
I love my kids and sometimes I just need a small break, a chance to refill my cup. All moms need this, whether its reading, shopping, creating, exercising, or just getting away for a moment.
Sometimes I get a little help from someone who can tend and I feel rejuvenated and maybe feel like I can actually get through the day and my mood is so much better.
Most the time though, I don't get that luxury- and it's twice as hard to get through the week. So if I'm not at some family or social function, don't judge. I'm probably out trying to get my cup filled so I can be the good mom my kids need me to be. That's what's most important to me because i don't function so well on empty.
