So I've had a rough couple of days. My boys seem to know when their daddy goes out of town. They get really cranky when he is gone. I had to put Ryan in Time Out about 12 times. And every time I did he kicked his closet door saying, "I hate you, I hate you". There were also other things that made it a bad day, but I just won't mention them on my blog. Needless to say, I needed a break. Ben texted me on his way home and told me I should go to a movie with a friend or something when he got home. Well, since I didn't know who to call I decided to go to a movie by myself. I don't know if you've ever done this, you gain a self assurance when you go up to the ticket booth and say, "One ticket for Baby Mama please". While everyone else is getting at least 2. The person in front of me got 7 tickets. When I was in the theater it was getting a little full, so 3 girls came in and were coaxing one another to go sit by me, they were whispering, no I don't want to (I'm sure they were thinking, I don't want to sit by the freaky girl who goes to a movie by herself). Anyway, it was actually SO nice to go by myself and have alone time. It was a good movie to go see to make me appreciate the kids I have. Even though they drive me nuts at times, I love them. And I couldn't imagine my life without them. On my way home I turned up my CD really loud in the car and belted out SheDaisy, my favorite feel good music. You don't get to do that with kids in the car. Thanks Ben for sending me out all alone. It felt good!!

Kel, I'm SOOOOOO glad you got some alone time! It sounds like you really deserved a break! If you ever need to vent, you know you can call me ANYTIME. Seriously!
Call me next time, I will go to a movie with you!! I never get alone time. That is wonderful that your husband suggested that! I don't think I have ever heard those words from my husband! I am going to make sure he reads this!!)
Kell! You have such a good husband! And Im glad you got some you time! It's always nice, even for me and I don't have kids! Ha! I love you!
I loved that movie! I am so glad you had some alone time too and seriously call me next time. I love to go to non-kid movies. : ) I totally sympathize with you, I have had days like that : ), Tim can tell you...
