Some days I wake up with a smile on my face. When the house is quiet, what a blissful space. I love my kids, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes a break is where I belong. They drive me crazy, that’s for sure but deep down inside, my love is pure. I miss them dearly, it’s plain to see, but a little peace and quiet is all I need.

Oh I can’t wait for my kids to go back to school, to have some time for myself is the Golden Rule. I miss their laughter and their silly games, but Mama needs a break from the chaos and the flames. From crayons on the wall to projects on the floor, there’s always something they are fighting for. When they are gone, I’ll take a breath of relief enjoying the silence, oh what a sweet relief.

I cherish the moments when they are not around, but deep down inside, my love knows no bounds. To test my patience, that’s for sure but their hugs and kisses are worth so much more. Here’s the all the parents who understand my plight, we love our kids with all our might. But sometimes, we need a little space to breathe until they come home and bring us joy with their glee.
