This last weekend I flew Blueberry far, far away to my parents house. She will be with my parents and my sister for about a month. I am thoroughly enjoying myself. And I don't feel guilty about that admission. I very seldom get a break from being "mom". Her dad isn't around to take her every other weekend. My family no longer lives close to take her for a night once in a while. It's just mommy duty all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love Blueberry and I wouldn't trade her for anything but right now I do not miss having to get up earlier in the morning to get two of us ready. I do not missing having to cook dinner, cereal has been on my menu the last couple of nights. I do not miss my house being a wreck five minutes after we walk in the door after work.
Normally I would feel guilty admitting that I'm loving her being gone right now. But not this time. This time I am going to enjoy just being me for a few weeks. Blueberry is in good hands. She couldn't wait for me to leave and get home so she could have her time with our family without me. A break is what both of us needs and absence makes the heart grow fonder. I know that I will be ready to have her back home when the time comes, and she will be ready to get back home too. But for now this is my time. To recharge my batteries, fill my patience tank and spend some much needed alone time with SV. Let the good times roll!! :)

Is it okay to admit that I'm a little envious of you right now? :) Glad you can finally have a break! Enjoy!
Enjoy this time! I thoroughly enjoy it when my girls go off with their dad on their weekends together, and on the nights they spend with him throughout the week (we share 50/50 custody). I need this time to re-charge so that I can be a better momma!
Enjoy these weeks to yourself. As a single mom, you definitely deserve it. :)
