The Day I almost lost my Schmidts or IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME

It's been coming for a few weeks now , I can feel it during the days and mostly one the weekends ...
I want some time to myself !
I want to sit somewhere and read or scrapbook or pee by myself , without having to shout at a child to stop whatever they doing or else , keeping peace when all hell breaks lose over a toy or when Mr Gadget aka DH is doing important stuff on the computer like moving our movie collection on to a Hard drive or checking FB .

Could somebody please explain to me why his stuff is so much more important than 5 minutes to myself ? I remember when I was pregnant with Stinky , he promised me to get up with him during the night or early before he had to get to work , the help with cooking and taking Stinky off me so I can rest .

Fast forward to almost 3 years later , Miss Maus joined us now and I get up with 2 Kids early in the morning and during the night , Mr Gadget's cooking is happening maybe once or twice a month ( and then I have to take the Kids because he needs to concentrate ) and alone time happens when I have a snooze at lunch on the weekend ( while Miss Maus is asleep too and Mr Stinky too ) and that only because I'm incisting on it .

So u can imagine how happy I am to be moving closer to my Family ( free Babysitters ) , already got told by them that they will take them off my Hands and I can have *gasp* time alone .

But for now I'm still in Italy , trying to get my Kids to listen to me , not throw Toys or take the House apart mostly on my own .
While my outings into the World away for Peppa Pig and Thomas are the weekly Toddler group and Food shopping .

Anyhow about losing my schmidts , I just keep imagining what I do when I get out ALONE and how Mr Gadget would struggle and it puts a smile on my face
