Mom's need time to relax too

Yesterday my little girl was something else. If it wasn't one thing it was another. I know that I should be greatful because she wants to be with mamma all the time and years from now I will want her around and she will not want to be with her stuffy old mom and dad, but sometimes I would like at least five minutes where I can simply sit down and enjoy quiet time. Only five minutes is all I ask. Since she has been born I have not gotten any time to myself with one exception, my mother-in-law took her for the day several months back, (it is in one of my blogs entry). The only bad thing about that day was she was a holy terror when she got home and it almost made my day off not worth it. Notice that I said almost. My husband tries to help, but my little girl only wants to be around Momma sometimes, and Daddy just won't do. Last night when we finished our bath all I wanted to do was lay down and relax. So I put one of my little girls favorite movies on and I laid down. No sooner did I lay down than my little girl comes into the room and starts jumping on the bed. There goes my relaxing time. If she's not jumping on the bed while I'm in it, she is kicking me in the back and ribs depending on how I am laying. Don't get me wrong, I love her with all my heart, I would lay down my live for her or my husband without hesitation, but sometimes I would like some quiet time to myself. Long story short I put her ti bed earlier than normal which could not be early enough for me.
