If you are a parent then you would know that there are times when you just dream of having some time alone, time to do the things you want or need to get done without the interruption of a little person.
There are times when you may even think back of how easy life was when it was just you and your partner, free to do what you wanted to do when and where.
Why is it when we have this opportunity to have some time to ourselves we crave the company of our children?
Spencer is on school holidays at the moment and for the past 3 days has been staying with his grandmother.
I haven't had to pick him up from school, have come home to a quiet, empty house and even been able to take a shower without having him coming in to ask me ''watcha doing''.
I've been able to have uninterrupted conversations with my husband as well as watch TV programs that don't involve Ben 10, Sponge Bob or learning your ABC!
But in saying all of that I have dearly missed my little man.
Whilst dishing up dinner last night I even got an extra plate out for him, without even realising.
I feel guilty craving time away from my child...I worry it makes me a bad parent...but I guess at the end of the day we all need some ''me time'', as I am sure he does at times.
I am so looking forward to seeing my gorgeous little man this afternoon and feeling the warmth of his cuddle and the sweet smell of his hair!
Ahhh it's true... it's the little things in life that make us happy!

I just loved these words... I often feel like that. Kids sometimes seem too much... but I feel bad if I miss even a little moment of them!
It's a great irony isn't it!? But it is true, that time to yourself is SOOOOOOOO necessary! I too have often felt that way you are feeling right now. Hugs!
