One of those honest mommy moments

I said something to my sweet husband that was not like me..it was one of those thoughts that happen in my head but never come out of my mouth :) I went to move the car back in the garage the other night, a great song was playing, and I just sat there. I told him I almost backed the car out of the driveway instead of pulling it in. When I walked out of the house both babies were screaming because they were overdone for that day, the dog had just decided to wet on the kitchen floor, the other three boys were  playing soccer in the upstairs hallway, and he was in his office working. I knew I would have to walk back into the house and hear all that. It would be so much easier to enjoy a nice, long drive. Then maybe, just maybe when I walked back in the 3 boys would be quietly watching a movie, the twins would have decided that it was a great idea to go on to bed, and the dog--well my senior citizen dog you just have to love! It was at the moment I think I surprised him. I am not sure he really knew what to think about me saying I was going to pull away :) I love being a mom to 5 but there are those moments when the noise gets too much. There are those moments when I really have to step back and take a deep breath. That night was one of those moments. Thankfully I have an amazing husband who pushed me out the door the next day to have a few hours of shopping time. Love that man. When I came home the house was all clean, they even made my bed :) Guess it is not so bad to run away for a few hours every so often!!
