Yesterday I went my first real outing sans children since MJ was born six weeks ago. I met a friend at a restaurant for an early dinner followed by some shopping. I was gone for a total of two hours but it made a world of difference.
As mom's we rarely take time out for ourselves, putting everyone else before ourselves. This can lead to mommy burn out with feelings of resentment towards our loved ones. So make sure you take time for yourself even if it is just a cup of coffee in the morning before everyone wakes up, a quiet shower where you get to shave both legs without someone asking for something or trying to climb in with you or a quick jaunt to the grocery store by yourself. It is important that you have that time to be you and not mommy. Remembering who you are will make you a better significant other and mother.
