Time Out

Sometimes, I just need a break.  Sometimes, it can get all a bit too much.  I love Dom with all my heart, but when he is testing his boundaries with me, pushing my buttons and doing the exact opposite of what I ask him to do...I just need a moment.

This was one of those days.  And with Rob going to Phoenix tomorrow, I knew that if I didn't get a much needed mental time out, it was going to be a rough couple of days ahead of us.  Rob could see my stress and suggested that maybe I go get my nails done.  Did I just get a free pass to leave the house for a couple of house? 

I text Lanie to see what she was up to.  Within the hour, we were meeting at Metro Point and standing in line to go see "The Vow."  Now that's a good friend.  One who drops everything to go watch some sappy chick flick with you.  Thank goodness for my BFF.

The movie was cute, but oh so unrealistic.  Lanie and I sat in our seats as the credits rolled like two jaded divorcee's.  No man talks to a woman like he did in this movie. No man goes to the ends of the earth for his woman like this guy did.  All the romantic and mushy things happening gives young girls unrealistic expectations of what a relationship will be like.  And then they will be disappointed when it doesn't happen.

Ouch, I DO sound jaded huh?  Or maybe I'm just being realistic?

Regardless, it was a prefect way to get my mind off how stressful it can be to raise a two year old.  By the time I got home, I felt refreshed and happy and ready to be challanged by Dom again.
