Last Friday I was talking to my cusion how just had a new baby about 2 months ago. We where just chatting online and both wanted to go do something with out the husbands and the kids. So we decide to go to bingo. We did are mother and wifely things like cook dinner before we left got the kids all taken care of and put the pedal to the metal. We didn't win anything but man we had a great time. Just talking about the kids and different things in are life. We talked about when we where younger and got us laughing so hard we where crying. It was so fun just to get away from everything and just be by are self's with out kids calling are name 100 times or the hubby's needed something. We are trying to plan to go to bingo every other Friday give are self time for US!!

It is nice to get away from everything once in a while. Every mom needs to do it when she can get the chance. You get a breath of fresh air when you get the chance to do your own thing for a few hours. It is amazing how much more energy and motivation you can have once you get a break. I try to do it occassionally to but usually get stuck with at least the hubby. Sometimes I just take off and go shopping or to get my nails done. It just gives you that few minutes you need to regroup your thoughts.

Hello babykeka,
I totally know what u mean when I got home I was already to play with the kids and the little things didn't bother me as much as before. That reminds me I need to go get my nails done...thanks!!!

Yes m0mmy0f03, having mommy time is something that is necessary. It sounds as if you two had a blast
. Not too long ago (4th of July weekend) I gave myself some alone time because I am a single mom of 3 wonderful (at times) boys and on this particular Saturday, they were just getting on my nerves to the point where I just left the house. My boys are 12, 13 , and 18. I went to the movies to see "Wanted" but before watching the movie, I sat down and had something to eat and after the movie, I bought me a delicious ice cream cone (butter pecan). That was my very first time doing that alone and guess what, it will surely not be my last

Hello Linda,
That was awesome I think moms need to do that more. Take time for us I think in the long run it will help are relaships with are kids. I notice when I got home I was in a great mood and wanted to play with my kids and the little things the did didn't bother me as much as before. How was the movie? I want to go see that movie really bad and I will take that ice cream also.!!!

Allowing yourselves to have some time out like this is so needed, and I feel many more mothers need time like this as well. It was nice that your husbands were up to this, and you did have a Great time. It never hurts to go have some Fun.

I think it's very healthy for you to get away. Also good for the kids. Taking a break for the evening makes it more exciting to come home and start all over again the next day. I think it's a great idea to plan in advance another evening out with your cousin.
I joined a bowling league when our kids were smaller. My husband stayed with them and I had a blast. Now our kids are grown and nobody is hanging off me crying about their sister or wanting something. It's so nice even though I enjoyed watching the kids grow up. I can meet friends now for lunch and love every minute. Nobody to report to, since my husband is working during the day. It's a great time and the freedom is wonderful.

I like that's a very good idea. I don't have kids, yet but I can kind of understand I need "cultural group" time in order to be sane. I need to hang out with disabled people, people of color, and women monthly.
