Theta Mom®

Redefining Motherhood

Are You In?

Alright ladies, it’s time to get serious. I mean, really.

Many of you will remember the drama that began with two little words: Transition Time. If you missed that post, you can find it here.

So the question of the day (or shall I say year) is, “Where is MY transition time?” When do I get the opportunity to decompress, relax, and have some precious moments to myself? Folding the laundry, taking out the garbage and cleaning out closets does not count as transition time. I mean, seriously!

Having said that, there is no better time for me to properly launch, “Time Out for Theta Mom Thursday!” This is my master plan to get some QT all to myself!

So here’s the deal: I am inviting you to join me in this brigade…yes, you. I know your wheels are turning…it’s such a tempting proposition, isn’t it?

Ladies, we need to find ONE measly hour within one week to do something that we find enjoyable. The hitch? It must be time spent without the kids! Mmmm, that thought is quite magical. Are you excited yet?

Well, there’s more…

Not only do you find this one hour to do whatever the hell you want {get a manicure, read a book, sit in silence, run on the treadmill, have lunch with a friend, blog-blog-blog, go shopping in peace, text endlessly without interruptions, twitter the night away, pound a bottle of wine} whatever floats your boat…

You also get to grab my cute button!


How Theta awesome is that?! :)

The goal is to use this time out to regroup and recharge…because as Theta Moms, we so need this!!! After my discussion with the hubs recently, you know I desperately need it!

But wait, there’s one more thing…

What would make this even more super F-U-N is to see how YOU spent your one hour! You already know that I will be posting how I spent my time (or the drama of how I didn’t get the chance to take my one lousy hour…that will make for a very interesting post), but it would be so fabulous to hear what you’ve been up to! So you’ll have the opportunity to meet some new bloggy friends and link up. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that!

Especially with the kids going back to school, the drama of everyday, and the endless list of tasks we complete for everyone else, we so deserve this time!

Go grab my cute Thursday button (or link my site), begin to think about how you’re going to use the time (I can feel the excitement already) and then post how you’ve spent your one hour (or lack thereof… trust me, I know how the story goes) for next Thursday (not tomorrow silly…you’re a mom, you need like a full week to get an hour, right?) and let the games begin!

This time out is SO ON!

Are you in?

  3. 52 comments! Wow! And you're following ME!? I feel so special:)

    Ok, this is so lame and retarded, but I'm honest, so here I go:

    When I saw your user name, I totally thought "Sorority mom? Oh I so will not compare!" LMAO. Then I came and read your li'l blurb on the side… I'm such a horrible person! HAHA!!!!

    Not that sororities are BAD, I just have the, you know, Legally Blonde versions in my head…b/c I was never in one. It's retarded. I'm such a media-aholic.

    ANYWAY, thanks for your comment! I don't know if the cleanse will work… so far I'm almost 48 hours w/o diet coke, and that hasn't happened in…um…4 years? So, here's hopin'!

  4. Definitely an appealing proposition. I'm definitely going to join you. You might just have to remind me next week.

  6. COunt me in!
    I have actually been doing some of that this week.

    I actually took a whole day to myself today (coincidentally a Thursday)! I went to visit a friend and tan at the beach SANS baby!!!

    I'm glad you like my new blog design! I did it myself.

  9. so, I thought of this yesterday after taking the kids to the park, and I had fifty errands to run. I planned on just dropping them off with dad and getting the errands done quickly and quietly (because he asks for MORE extra's than the two year old does.!) Did it happen, NOPE he wanted to come along instead!

  10. I've been dreaming of a facial and hair cut for a while now. But that would take longer than an hours. Maybe I'll make it a routine. :)

  12. Great post. One hour is not much time at all. Especially having 7 blessings, living on a farm and homeschooling. Oh and finding time to blog:) Great button, hope you can add mine too. Blessings,

  15. I feel guilty…my kids are older and my time is my own. Maybe I should babysit your kids for your one hour! :)

  24. Sounds great and I have book club this week ON THURSDAY so I may actually get my hour! Clueless mama is right – it does not count at 2 in the morning. THis hour must be during normal awake hours right? That means yours can't be at the ungodly hour you wake up Heather…seriously.

  27. heather, i think we should have one hour each DAY not each WEEK. my blood pressure shot up because the kids' one week school hols and now, I am, once again, very selfishly guarding my one-hour me-time WITHOUT THE KIDS again. it's MINE MINE MINE!!! :-)
