5 minutes alone is a great luxury when you are raising kids. I love my kids dearly, but sometimes I need 5 minutes alone just to think without getting interrupted. I find myself longing for time to do things that I haven't had time to do since before I had kids. While they are great and having them brings joy and happiness I never before could have imagined, I feel like at times the things I liked before, the things that made me me have all but been lost. It's as though when you have kids your identity changes and caring for them becomes who you are. At times I find myself longing to have enough time to do some of the things that I used to enjoy. Kids grow up so fast, and I know this won't last forever. Infact I can imagine when they're older longing to have today back. Today I will enjoy my 5 minutes, and then I will enjoy every minute with my kids that I can, because tomorrow they will be grown up and these joyful moments with them while they are young I can never have back. But I know that there will come a day when I will have more than 5 minutes alone.
