I decided to take a little time for myself last night and it was wonderful! DH plays soccer on Wednesday nights, so bath and bedtime is done by me only. I decided to "play soccer" on Thursday nights from now on.
I went to get my hair cut and then I sat at a bookstore for an hour to just relax and read. When I came back, DS was asleep and everything went well. :-)
Re: Timeout for Mama
Ahhhh...it's the little things, huh? So nice to have some time on your own for a bit!
I pump every night while DH gives DS his good night feeding in a bottle. That way we always have some milk in case we need it and I get a little break. DH likes it, because he feels like he can provide for DS, too. ;-)
I'll do anything I can to avoid pumping! I haaaate it!
