Your "person"

I have blogged on the topic before on setting time aside for "mommy and daddy time" and it is still an ongoing process. I do not think it's any different for "typical" moms. I feel we are all are ao busy the only time we have to process the day/days ahead are before bed time when the kids are nestled in their own beds giving you "your time." But in that time your forgetting that it's "yours" and still obsorbing things about "them." It sounds terrible when you put pen to paper. Or words to keys I should say. I once watched a Grey Anatomy episode where there was a huge conversation of "your person." I thought how odd... Jays my person! It was a no brainer. Not a friend, not my mom, not my cousins. But the truth is do I treat him like he's my person? I am obviously not telling you to ignore your child's needsor the screaming so ensues in right before bed time. But once all is calm at night in those few hours do you treat him like he's your person? Or do you still focus on the kids? I know it sounds horrible but the kids will grow up one day, they will leave, and have a family of their own. Family and then who are you left with? Again I repeat, I'm in no way encouraging that you neglect your children but just like you wouldn't deprive your child of their needs and your attention neither should your husband! 

Why am I going on and on in this blog??? Because I'm preaching to myself! As a mother we struggle to block out the days adventures and enjoy our time as a wife and not a mother! Too bad there isn't some switch I could turn on an off but commiting to try is the best I can do!
