Now, I know that I can't exactly claim this fame legitly. After all, I have never done anything that has landed me on Dateline for being a bad parent. I just sometimes feel like I am. For example, today was Saturday and as with all Saturdays, I have the 'opportunity' to spend the entire day with Lukin. Of course, being a full time parent on Saturdays can be rewarding because you get to be part of the things you normally miss by being at work, but it can also be exhausting.
Side note: I was supposed to have plans today with a lady from work. I don't know what happened, but we never got together or anything. Well, my plan was to go and do something girly and leave the boys at home together (even though the lady from work wanted to meet Lukin). Well, I suggested that we ask Sonny's parents to watch him over night so I could go out to dinner with my friend and he could get a nice nite's sleep.
When everything fell through, then I was a little downhearted. I wanted so badly to have plans. So when Lukin decided that he didn't want to go to sleep, I felt like such a horrible parent because I wanted a break. How horrible is that?!?
Long story short, my husband took Lukin to bed with him, even though he should have been asleep already so that I could take a break and I laid on the futon in Lukin's room for like 30 seconds and then went to lay with the boys in our room. Moral of the story: I don't want to be the worst mom, and I want to be there for my son, but sometimes my patience runs out and I need a breather to get back on track.

I think that's normal and fine to want a break.
(Where's that number for Child Services that was laying on my desk here a minute ago?)
P.S. He probably can't sleep because he misses The Worst Aunt/Faux Baby-Sitter Ever.
That'd be me.
