Mother's Day Out

So tommorow mark's yet another changing point in my world. The funny thing is, is that it is my niece that a causing it. I know strange..."What is it?" you say. Mother's Day Out. Ashlyn started Mother's Day out the year before kindergarten and is going back this summer for fun. Lorelei started last September and loves it and will continue this summer. Aubrey though is just now old enough to venture out on her own, so to speak, a little and go. She will have loads of fun and it will be a good experience for her, but a wonderful time for me. It will be the first time since Ashlyn was born that I get a set aside period of time all to myself on a regular basis. Most weeks it will be used going to the office of the church I work at, but it will also be used for other things like going to the grocery store without kids, running errands, going to the doctor, getting a pedicure or a massage, etc... aahhhhhh or just a time to sit in my living room and it be totally quiet... lol....

Do not get me wrong, I LOVE my kiddos and all of the ones that have been left in my charge over the years as well, but sometimes you just need a break. Some time to breathe on your own. Some time to remember who you are. Some time to have a conversation with someone over the age of 6. Just some time. If I can impart no other wisdom on those that have babies or are TTC it is to remember to take this time for yourself whenever it comes along....

As for my daily update... I am now 9 DPO and so itching to POAS. Two of my online friends have now gotten their BFP's and would be due within a week of me if I am preggers this month....oh I hope and pray.... Wednesday I will be 11 DPO and it is still early, but being the POAS Addict that I am, I will test anyway. I will test again on Saturday, unless I get my BFP on Wednesday, as I have a wedding and am throwing a party that day. Oh who am I kidding I will probably test on Saturday even if I get a BFP on Wednesday :)
