Monday, Monday, Monday...

Mondays are not my favorite day. Not only because it signifies the end of the weekend, but because as a rule they usually wear me out. I don't think the kids like Mondays either...they miss having Daddy around.

So this weekend was a success. On Saturday I took a much needed break and went to the outlet mall on my OWN. I know...shocking! To be able to browse the stores and stroll around without someone whining was amazing. I stopped by Starbucks and got myself a Frappucino and some cake. It was nice to wallow in my aloneness. I think I need to do it more often. I need to remember what it was like to just be me, and not just Mom. I think so many of us lose ourselves in our kids. It felt great to take a break from the Mom role, and it also made it feel great to come back home and step right back into it.

Sunday we split the kids up and I took Sofia to the mall for some 1-on-1 time. I think it's something that we are going to do on a regular basis. They really need some time to be individuals and not just twins. They are completely different in the absence of each other and I think it's fantastic for them to not have to share us, even if it's just once in a while.
