Yesterday afternoon I put in a request to my husband for some alone time. It had been a long day and I was very productive around the house. Did a lot of cleaning, sanitized some toys, a little outside time for the kiddos, few loads of laundry, and even handed out a few spankings to each Addison and Titus. (Both have been "testing their limits" a lot in the past couple of weeks. Both constantly touching things I've told them not to. ) Titus hasn't gotten out much because of the rain and he was driving the cats nuts and following my every move. I was getting ready to start on dinner and started thinking about how long it has been since I've had some alone time. So I made my family a nice healthier dinner...Nathan and I are trying to loose the extra pounds we gained this summer. And after I folded the last load of laundry for the day, I kissed my baby goodnight at 7 and headed to the bathroom while my Gambles went outside to play.
I filled up our jacuzzi tub with a nice bubble bath, added a few aroma therapy drops, and lit some candles. I laid there for a while just staring at the candles and taking in slow deep breaths. I don't know about you but I'm so glad my body breathes naturally because I would never remember to make time for it! Then after my bath I did a little female pampering with a facial mask and painting my toe nails. I didn't have music or tv and had complete silence and it was wonderful!! No barking, meowing, whining, crying, etc.
I'm so thankful that I have a husband who shares my feelings in this way. We both agree it is equally important to have family time, time with friends as a couple, time with friends separately, time alone with each other, and time completely alone! It helps keep us balanced. I have been making more time in all the other areas but really neglecting my alone time lately. It feel so good. And I can't wait to do it again soon!
