20.  She often refers to herself in the third person…and “Mommy” thinks there is nothing at all wrong with that.

Moms, if you can relate to any of these, please, give yourself permission to take a break.  Use that mani/pedi gift card that you’ve been carrying around all year.  Go to lunch with friends.  Plan a nice date night with your hubby.  Husbands, if you are reading this, please help your wife get some time away and refuel her feminine spirit.  It will not only do her a lot of good, but it will improve the atmosphere at home as well.  Every Mom needs a little time to herself!

Thanks for reading, sharing, and responding.  For more stories about marriage and motherhood, join me on Facebook and Instagram.  Be blessed!
