Mom's Time Out

My kids get a lot of time out, but I have to admit sometimes I wish it were me that got the Time Outs.

I have found only three sources of Time Out for myself for those moments when I just can't handle anymore.... 

• My boys have finally realized that bathroom time is only MOM's Time and they don't get to join me as I shower or use the toilet. I love my shower time- it has become my meditation minute .
• I have also found that when I'm kneeling down saying a prayer, my boys will leave me alone.  Which is an answer to my prayer in most cases, cause usually if I've made it to my knees  during the middle of the day it means my kids have pushed me to my blowing up point and I need a little extra help.  Often times I'll stay on my knees a little longer, just so they'll keep quiet and stay away.
• My third trick is that I lay on the floor on the side of my bed where my kids can't see me.  They usually run from room to room yelling "Mom" and looking for me, but most times they don't go in my room and look around.  I lay there until their voices start to sound frantic because they think the aliens have abducted me.  I've heard of some mom's that go sit in their car in the garage, but I'm not that brave- my kids might call 911 if they can't find me.
