Ever since becoming a mom, I’ve found that 99.99999999% of my time and effort is spent on the kids and making sure that they are well taken care of. There’s a very small percentage of time that’s spent on me and my needs. While I couldn’t be happier being a mom to Har, A and Macks, I do appreciate the time that I do get for myself (even if it’s only an hour.)
Last week, I had the chance to take a couple of hours out of my evening and go out with a girlfriend for a little shopping and dinner. We decided to go out completely last minute meaning I had zero time to look appropriate, but the best thing was that she didn’t care what I looked like, she just wanted the girl time. And I appreciated that because I needed it just as much as she did. And we had a blast!
That’s what makes me happy.
Now tell me something good. Something that’s made you happy. It can be big, it can be small, just something that has put a smile on your face. You can participate by sharing a photo on Wednesday with the hashtag #WhyImHappyWednesday and tagging me @amommyinthecity or feel free to write it in the comments below. I do read them all and am happy to reply back on your good news! You can also join in the conversation on my Facebook page!
