Mommy Break

Posted on November 19, 2007 by Charlotte (Life's a Charm!)

Last weekend, I got away and spent time with good friends. I called it ‘Mommy Break‘. It’s my way to get away from the routine of my family life and to finally start weaning from breast feeding.

I have to admit that lately I had been feeling stressed. I needed to get away for awhile, to recharge and refresh! My loving husband gave me this time. He took care of Matthew for the time that I was away, for a night and a day. I know that he wouldn’t have a hard time taking care of a baby. He is a very capable hands-on daddy! But I had difficulty not thinking about my boys. I had difficulty falling asleep. It was afterall, my first time away from Matthew especially. We have been co-sleeping since he was born. I have gotten used to being with him and smelling him while I sleep at night.

Papi, Thanks for giving me this mommy break. You know I needed it! Thank you for understanding and for being a very loving and capable father to Matthew.

Also, the Mommy Break was a pleasant time to catch up with friends. I have been somehow inaccessible to friends for awhile. This was a very nice way to reclaim friendships. Friends gave me a good time just chatting, karaoke, dining and simply travelling down the memory lane.

Patrick and Lucelle, Thanks for letting us stay at your place on a very short notice. Susette, Thanks for coming over at my request. Rico, I’m very glad to see you. Sim, What a small world, huh?! To all, Please don’t hesitate to come and visit me too anytime. Thanks for the good time. Until next time.

    Thanks for inviting me over Charm! I really had a great time! It is only now that I realize that I needed the break myself. =)

    Oohhh, sad I was absent in the gathering! I would have hopped on the train and be where you were, guys.

    Charm, being away with Pristine for the first time was hard. I thought I’d scream on the hills my freedom but I ended up not sleeping well. When we become mommies, it’s just not the same. The discomforts (of co-sleeping, of a crying baby, a clingy toddler) becomes so familiar it can only be called home…
