-Finishing a book during Brayden's nap
-Blasting the radio the few times I drive somewhere alone
-Not having to share my meal
-Grocery shopping alone
-Going to a movie or play
-Hanging out with a friend without Brayden
The last one is what spurred this post. I got to hang out with my friend Karen today. We've only hung out without Brayden around twice in his two years. I painted my nails. I got a frozen hot chocolate all to myself. It was so relaxing to not have to chase after him in the stores.
I feel guilty for even writing these, like I should say "selfish mom edition." I know I shouldn't though. I spend the majority of my time with Brayden. When I'm not with him, I often miss him. Sometimes, you need a break. For me, these little breaks are things I did OFTEN before Brayden. So it's nice to still go out to a movie sometimes, because I feel like Megan again. For a few hours anyways, then I am dying to be "Momma" again.

You aren't a bad/selfish mom! sheesh! I had an awesome time hanging out with you Friday! We'll have to do it again before mine decides to come! 89 days left! EEK! lol I'm still REALLY hoping I can at least make it to Breaking Dawn before the baby comes (lol almost slipped on the gender there)...
