10 Reasons Why Moms Need A Spring Break Too

Janice Bacani

For anyone that knows me and who are still getting to know me, I am a wife, a mother of two young girls, a college student, and a SAHM. Now that Spring weather is slowly creeping in; I can't help but think about the last time I had a Spring Break. A break that is kid-free, husband free and drinks free that is not in a sippy cup. Moms totally deserve a full week of parties because after all, she's the reason why you are alive.

10. After the holiday season, that break deserves another long break preferably in Hawaii

9. It's Spring Break, and Mom's alabaster skin needs the sun

8. Someone said to me, "the little pitter patter of baby feet, leaves behind dear and sweet," But wait! Here come's the FLU in full force, and it's those sticky little-unwashed hands knocking everyone out in your family

7. After taking care of everyone in the house, Mom is now sick and does not get a sick leave when she gets the flu

6. Mom needs to eat, pee, and take a bath in peace. Yes, in that order, please!

5. As much as I like to be called Mama, nobody wants to be called every five seconds of their life

4. Mom needs to remember what sleep is really like

3. More reason to drink wine and re-live Mom's college memories with her Mom Squad

2. So your Dad knows what tired feels like when I leave for my Spring Break

1. Mom needs to prepare for your "Spring NO Break" in April

You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

Nope, never.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

A List Of 26 Little Things That I Am Grateful For

Just a small part of a much longer list.

For the past few months, I have not been my usual happy-go-lucky-self for a number of reasons, but one thing that has been helping me is to think about all of the little things in my life that I am thankful for. I know this might seem really cliché, but it is so true. I cannot stress enough how much better I feel when I think about all the great people and privileges I have in my life. It makes all of the insignificant things that I am stressing about or worrying about in my head seem not nearly as bad. I have decided to make a list of 26 things (out of many more) in my life that I am especially thankful for.

Leslie gets it.

Your professor mentions there's a test in a few days and you didn't know about it.

You spend all day long in class and now realize you also have to spend the next few nights awake studying.

You take out your textbook and notes, but don't have the energy to actually read them.

You keep reading the same sentence over and over, but it still doesn't make sense.

You can’t focus, and your roommate suggests you go to the library.

You realize there are still over 50 pages left to read.

You reach the two-hour mark of studying and get delirious and want to give up.

You take a Netflix and snack break.

Your friends told you they were staying in with you to study, but they end up going out.

Your friends ask why you need to study instead of having fun.

Your friends send you pictures of them out having fun, but you're stuck in the library and want to run away.

You walk out of the test and realize staying in and studying was worth it because you definitely aced it.
