See how inviting that looks?! No toys ... serenity!!! Photo compliments of Emilee Ramsier Photography
Putting myself at the bottom of the priority list is something I have successfully learned from my Mother. It’s also the thing about her that bothers me the most … imagine that!! Since school has just started (and we are now in full day Pre-K, Yay!) I decided I would take a short little trip to visit my sister in Atlanta. Being the fabulous freelance photographer that she is, a job popped up at the exact time as my visit, so it got postponed! Not wanting to waste a babysitter all lined up (to pick up from school), I made the executive decision to book a hotel room for myself and check out of Motherhood/Wifehood for 12 hours! What a genius decision!!
Posting up at a brand new local hotel was just what the doctor ordered! I ate dinner alone, watched a movie in my room alone, slept in and even got some work done! Much needed headspace. Upon re-entering my life, I found everyone was alive and well … actually thriving. It was nice to realize my Husband was capable of making the bed AND he ACTUALLY knows where the dishwasher is and how it works!!
Next time, I am thinking a little more time, and being further away might be a better way to unplug and recharge … ocean waves … feel me?
A little perspective always does everyone good!
