Mama Check Out

*Warning I'm having a bad day* 

Hey all you mama's out there, do you ever just want to check out from being a mama for a bit? I'm there right now, and I don't just want to check out by hiding out in the back of the house when no one is looking (we've all been there, am I right?) I want to getaway and be a wife to my husband without being needed by my girls. 

I'm not wanting sympathy and being a mama in any circumstance is no cake walk I understand that and respect it. With that being said, since the day my oldest was born my husband and I have not spent a single night just us without our kids, I've been away or he has been gone, but together nope. Lately I feel like we really need to reconnect as a couple, we aren't in a big fight or having any relationship issues, that's not what its about. I just would love a day or 2 where I'm not the mama and he's not the dad and we just are together in the moment. 

Maybe someday I will get that mama check out but for now I'm going to continue to be the best mama I know how to be, giving out lots of kisses and hugs, wipe away tears, give talkings to, cook every meal, entertain, break up fights, tickle, bath, brush teeth and put to bed my girls while the hubs is gone for 9 weeks of training across the country. Then have him come home to pack us up and move the family across the country. Get settled into our new home, find and interview a new babysitter and maybe just maybe after phase 1 get a 2 hour date night.
