Mom Breaks

I love being a mom. I love watching my son grow and explore and learn more about the world each day. I love sitting and snuggling at 4am while he eats. I love getting to kiss his chunky little cheeks. To be honest though, sometimes I just need a break. I call them "mom breaks". I need that time with friends or heck even just to go run errands where I don't have to be responsible for his every need. I don't have to be the one to jump up when he cries or try to get him to sleep when he's fighting it so hard. For this I give great praise to my wonderful husband who sees my need and lets me go before I have a break down. He is such a hands on dad and I couldn't love this more about him. He's working to support us and yet when he gets home at the end of a long day he still uses his time to love on his son and to give me a break. For this I can never thank him more.
