?I just want to spend Mother?s Day without my kids!?
If you hang out with other moms, you?ve definitely heard this. Ask a mom about her fantasy day and, before she even gets started on how Jason Momoa plays into it, she?ll launch into describing a day alone where she isn?t responsible for any of the usual things she?s responsible for?a day where she can sleep as long as she wants, eat the food she craves without sharing, read her book uninterrupted and drink her coffee while it?s still hot.

You are probably tired and desperate for some time alone.
