I had an original thought this week about the picture I wanted to take. Something with me and Jordan together. Here's what I ended up with.
Honestly, I wasn't thrilled with it, but you can't always get something you love, right?
On the way home from work tonight though, I decided to go in a different direction. I was about to find myself in a rare situation. HOME ALONE! Can you believe it? No human in the house but me, myself and I... A rare thing for any mother.
And yes, we all love our children. More than life itself I might say, but I don't think I ever valued my time on my own more until it wasn't as readily available. So.... I sat down with a glass of wine and a book, put some music on and lit some candles, and was just alone... And if you do that a few times I think you'll be a better mother in the end, because if you don't take care of yourself sometimes, how can you take care of anyone else.
So have a glass of wine for me, lock yourself in the bathroom or come home an hour early from work. Just take some time for yourself to enjoy you so you can enjoy your kids more later.
Beautiful shot! Yes, I often wish that I could get just an hour to myself..it's so rare!
ReplyDeleteI love both shots. One morning I was home alone for about 15 minutes. Everyone left. I was sitting at the kitchen table checking my email. My head came up as I heard - s-i-l-e-n-c-e. Oh my. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I couldn't agree with you more.
