Whenever I'm asked "What would you like for [occasion]?" the first thing that pops into my head is "Time to myself."
Then I feel guilty about it.
But if by some act of charity, or stroke of luck, or multiple dollars paid to a babysitter I DO get some time for myself - away from the kids - the first thing I do is miss the little bastards.
Nobody half-asses it like me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Happy birthday!
And also? I think it's becasue you don't really want time alone, you just want to be able to enjoy the kids without being responsible for them. At least that's what I want. {shrug}
OMG - ditto, a million times over. I take a business trip and after revelling in a good nights' sleep, I literally start counting the hours until I can run back home to the little jerks.
And I just read the other comments - Happy Birthday!!
Um, happy birthday, I guess!
Try to push the guilt and missing-the-kids stuff aside and have a good time.
But it's nice to have the luxury of missing them, right?
Happy birthday.
I'm here to absolve your sorry ass. : )
Now, go forth and enjoy!
I didn't even pay attention to the date on this post. I should have been here over a week ago to absolve your sorry ass.
you have permission to kick my ass.
