So, it's off to the ENT specialist for us soon.
While we were at this doctor, at the same time, Bryant and Katie were across town at the hospital for Spina Bifida clinic.
We were texting back and forth updates for each child.
Almost (but not quite) hysterical.
One of those "We'll look back and laugh moments."
Bryant left this morning for Park City to snowboard.
I love the idea of him having a good time but I don't love it when he is gone.
Five minutes after he left Carter slammed his finger in the door and cried and screamed for an hour. All the while I am trying to ice his finger and get the girls ready for school and out the door by 7:45.
By 9:00 Carter had finally calmed down and was off to pre-school.
I sat by a window and soaked up the morning sunshine that was streaming down and felt as if it was sucking away the crazy from the week.
Sometimes a little alone time to gather my thoughts over comfort food is just what this *squishy* mama needs!
*Last night Carter gave me a big hug and said "oh mama, you are soooo squishy!"
sweet.
Question:
What do you do when you need a mama timeout?

I'm sorry you had a hard week and a really challenging morning. I'm really jealous of the cuppa yummy you got this morning. :)
I get in my car sans kids...with my book...and drive to sonic and get a diet coke with vanilla. And sit. And read. Sometimes for an hour.
:)
I like to take a long warm bath. Turn up the music and just let dad take care of my girls for a while. I always come out feeling way more relaxed!
I love you!!! I love 'tables for one'!!!
Gina! I love this b/c one time, on a Saturday night, I went to Five Guys, BY MYSELF & ordered a hamburger & fries & a Coke & sat there by myself loving every second of it. I know people were probably starting at me thinking, oh that poor lady who is alone when in my mind I was saying, "It's SOOOO NICE to be somewhere by myself!!!" Love it.:)
I am already planning my next "table for one" moment. Brock gets home tonight from a business trip and I will be out the door almost as soon as he walks in!
SQUISHY!!! So funny!...and so not true these days because you are the opposite of squishy, you little hot thing.
This is going to sound high and mighty, but the only thing that has worked for me lately is working out. My apartment complex has a fitness center, so all I have to do is lace up my sneakers, walk out the door, and turn up my music really loud.
Of course, I can only do this at night after the kids are in bed. Blah!
I wish you were going to park city so I could see you!! I have many favorite time outs.....bunco, sitting in my room on my iPad, just leaving the house and shopping by myself!
I go to the grocery store every weekend by myself for my mamam timeout moment. I buy my groceries, get a chocolate milk, and I sit in the car until it is all gone.
It is totally the best part of my week.
That is so rad!!! Good for you! When I need some alone time I like to exercise or sit down to watch some mindless TV with some goodies. :-)
I either shop or catch up on my tv shows.
When sandy told me Bryant was gone for the weekend I felt so stressed just thinking about it! But I'm glad you got some mommy alone time!
