Mommy needs a break...

So today I'm on my, I need a break kick. Moms need breaks, we need girls night out, we need pampering, and we need time and stuff just for US!

I think all to often once we become a mom, we forget who we are. I forgot what I like to do, I know what the kids like to do, I know what hubby likes to do, but what is it I like to do? I don't know anymore. I'm wife and mom, I am no longer Melissa. So when is it I get to become me again? I always buy stuff for the kids, but when I want to buy something for me, I feel guilty, why? I deserve to have stuff right. I deserve to get products, clothes, or what ever it is I want right? The problem is, when I go out to buy it, because I have set my mind to it, I can't justify the purchase. I do this all the time. I want a new purse, really badly, but I already have one and nothing is wrong w/ it, so now I can't justify the purchase and I don't end up getting it. I wanted new clothes, what did I get, work clothes, not only because that is what I needed, but why do I need other clothes, right? Wrong, I need to stop for just a minute, and take some time and money for me. I work for it, I get my bum up at 5:00am every morning, get ready for work and go. I come home, cook dinner, clean the house, I usually pick a chore a day, take a shower and then it's time for bed. Where is there time in the day for me? I don't know, but I am going to find it! Today I'm making a chore list for my daughter. She helps around the house a lot, but she's about to help a little more. I am saving money to go to Ohio to have a girls weekend w/ my friend Heather and I'm not taking any kids! I just need some ME time, and some ME stuff!
