Exhausted Mama Syndrome

That's a real thing, right?

For me, this weekend, it is.

I give huge credit to single parents. I rely on my husband so much in caring for Nathan. Sure, I do the early morning to evening and we share care on the weekends. The evenings though, I need that time, a break for just a couple of hours.

Being gone just over a week, wore me out.

By last night, I just couldn't take it anymore. Once Mike got home & settled, I hid for about 30 minutes in my bathtub. I lit some candles, used yummy bubbles & some lavender essential oils. It was nice.

This morning Mike left before Nathan & I got up to get his haircut. We both thought it was a good idea. Well, neither of us asked Nathan's opinion. He has not been happy that Daddy is not here. We've had 2 temper tantrums in less than an hour & 3 high pitched screeches that I think woke the dead!

I think I need another bubble bath!! haha

I love my son more than life itself, and coming to grips with my own weaknesses is hard. I need my husband. I love having him to rely on. We make a good parenting team & I could not do this without him.
