Without the drama of course....
Right now I am sitting in a big comfy chair, drinking a Raspberry smoothie. I was reading a book on my nook and then I realized something, I was child free. Now before you call protective services on me, he is not alone at home or locked in the car with a small slit in the window and a bottle of water. He is currently in the care of a very close friend who offered to watch him while I got my do did and go to a relaxing, chicken nugget free, adults only dinner.
The reason this is a big deal to me is because generally I am a "where I go, my kid goes kind of parent". My son is ride or die! He loves our normally active and busy lifestyle and I do too. It's just that every now and again, Momma needs a break. Being a single parent is the hardest job I have ever had to do and it's the most rewarding. But being the go to parent all day everyday is tiring and today I embrace these few hours.
To all my friends who have ever stood in for me and fed and entertained my rambunctious four year old you are appreciated (especially those of you with no kids! Haha! I am sure the Lord will bless your sacrifice). You have no idea how much these couple hours have recharged me. My mind seems clearer. My disciplinary tone is rested and for just a few minutes I reclined in this big comfy chair, took a sip of my raspberry smoothie and I exhaled.....

Hey, mama! Nice blog. And from your Iphone. Very well done. I feel you about getting time when you can. I love my little 2 year old man but when possible, Auntie Mommy need to throw a bottle back to keep her sanity.
I'm waiting for another makeup blog. (wink)
