5 Minutes
That is what I gave up when I decided it to become a Mom.5 Minutes

5 Minutes to chat on the phone...
5 Minutes to do my hair...
5 Minutes alone...
5 Minutes to clean up...
5 Minutes to shower...
5 Minutes to use the bathroom alone...
5 Minutes to play...
5 Minutes for a coffee...
5 Minutes for me...
Sometimes, not having 5 Minutes to myself is frustrating. So frustrating I just want to scream! As I sit here still in my bathrobe, at 1:45 pm - haven't made lunch yet, showered yet, cleaned up yet...taking the 5 Minutes that I've just found to write this instead of doing those things. I didn't want to loose the thought.
Sometimes, when frustration is at it's peak, and I'm ready to just run away, a little boy comes up to me, and out of the blue says; "Mom....MO-OM..." I yell "WHAT!" then he says "I Love You" and for 5 Minutes the frustration goes away... the stress is gone, and I get an ever so needed hug.
So, When I decided to become a Mom, I gained...
An eternity of Hugs
An eternity of Kisses
An eternity of I Love You's
An eternity of Snuggles
And all I had to do was trade in 5 Minutes...
