Mama needs a break...again!

September 14, 2011

 It's time to bring back my post titled "MAMA NEEDS A BREAK"
This was a post I did last year...you can view the post by clicking here.  

In the past two weeks, I have closed up our cottage and returned to Canada for the hockey season...moved into a new home, emptied all of our belongings from a storage unit we have had for the last two years, unpacked said items from storage into the above mentioned new house, enrolled two children into a new school...all while my husband has mostly been away at Rookie camp.  But who am I to complain...
(if you read my last three posts, you will know that I don't complain at airports....but I never said I didn't complain about moving every hockey season!)

THIS WEEK...

I may have jumped to the conclusion that my children's sniffles were not caused by a small "back-to-school" cold...I assumed they were seasonal allergies and gave each child the recommended dose of Benadryl an hour before their bedtime. 
        SLEEP TIGHT!

THIS WEEK...

I caught my son drawing on his arm with markers.  For a split second I almost didn't stop him because it would have interrupted the peace and quiet.  It is funny how quiet kids get when they are being naughty!

THIS WEEK...

I told my daughter she could lie in bed and watch a TV show on her iPod...if she would read her brother his bedtime stories for the night...
I stayed downstairs and ate a bowl of Cookie Crisp!

Now it is your turn...have you needed a break this week? (or maybe you just need an idea to blog about)...Go ahead and grab this picture for your post!

Be sure to leave a comment so I can read your posts...Maybe I won't feel like such a bad mom if I see that I am not the only one looking for a little break any place I can find one!
