Today I sit at home while my child is at a mother’s day out program. Hubby is fast asleep from his previous double shift and dog is actually napping as well. I have 90% of the house to myself in peace and quiet. I relish this because in the quietest of moments…in the stillness of it all I feel like “me”. The “me” I rarely get to be…think about it. I am mother, which I love being…I am wife, which again I welcome to be any day.
When I was younger I played many roles…surrogate mother to my siblings, high schooler with straight A’s, sister, daughter and best friend. I can’t recall ever having any real alone time.
So now I sit here and it is quite an awe inspiring moment. I feel just like little ole me…not mother, wife…but Cathy. And I can say it is refreshing and nice. I would say every woman should have this time of being your first “hat” that you put on …YOU!
I am so glad that my husband pushed for this mother’s day out program as I was totally against it and wanted to keep Munchkin with me all summer long.
So for the next few blissfully quiet and alone hours…I am going to be ME! Whatever that may be…So I encourage all of you wonderfully made women to go and find some sliver of time to be the perfectly and just good ole’ YOU!
Be Blessed,
Me
