		<description><![CDATA[I do love how God worked it out. :)

Thanks for the sweet words and reminder that it&#039;s ok to take a break. It means a lot coming from someone who&#039;s been there and understands!

Hope your weekend was wonderful, too. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How frustrating a beginning. How fun an ending.

I will say this, having raised 2 daughters and could probably count on my 2 hands how often we had a &quot;date night&quot; when they were babies up to grade school......

I beg you to never, ever feel the need to explain or defend your need for time away. Whether that time is by yourself or with your husband. When you are with Mae, you love her, guide her, play with her, discipline her (obviously not so much right now), and all around parent her. 

Time away is very positive for her and you! 

That, my friend, is my 2 cents. Coming from a mom who dealt with guilt any time I was away from my girls, because a &quot;good mom&quot; never needs a break.

Have a great day!

Love you!]]></description>
