You are right. I'm sure I will enjoy "me" time, since I'm usually in Mom or wife mode. But I feel a lil' bad for wanting to be alone from my girls too. I just feel like I need a "break"

Some time to think, and do as I want on my schedule no one else's. My girls are in private school and begin their day pretty early, 7:45 AM. I get them at 6:00 PM then it's crunch time, cooking, laundry, HW, cleaning, ironing, walking the dogs...Give give give. So 1 wknd completely to myself once in a yr, and once in the past 9 yrs is much needed and deserved. But I can't help but feel a lil' guilty as a mom. Everytime my H goes out of town I plan different things for me and the girls, but this time I'm feeling like I just want to be alone 1 wknd, then the next wknd I can do a special girl thing with them.

Why is putting myself 1st so darn hard?
