Mommy loves you but...

Dear Girls,

      Mommy loves you BUT... Mommy is an introvert.  This means she NEEDS time by herself.  In order for mommy to be a nice mommy you need to give her what she needs. She has tried to hide from you in the bathroom, only to be interrupted by screaming and crying after being MIA for a mere 30 seconds.  She has tried setting her alarm to get up before you do, only to have one of the three of you magically wake up 10 minutes before the alarm.  She has tried to go against her early-to-bed instincts and stay up to have some alone time, only to have someone, mostly A,1 sneak books, Ipods, or Ipads to stay awake too.  She has tried to leave you downstairs with Daddy only to have you scale the baby gate and bang on her bedroom door.
     Mommy has tried to compromise and get some alone time by leaving this house but this really doesn't work because there are always people out in public.  Mommy is an introvert trying to survive in a family of extroverts.  This means she NEEDS time by herself to recharge.  A3 might be a fellow introvert the jury is still out on her but she really does enjoy her alone time.      
    Mommy loves spending time with you listening to your stories, songs, dreams, games, and whatever other crazy things you come up with but mommy is an introvert.  This means she NEEDS time by herself to reboot.  She wants to be the best mommy she can be this means you need to let her have some time by herself. When mommy says "Go to bed" it is for your own good.  Mommy needs a few minutes to think in quiet.  Mommy is willing to compromise.  Just 15 minutes a day isn't too much to ask is it? 
   Mommy loves you but she is going crazy.  Mommy is an introvert and she NEEDS time by herself.  If you have any questions about this, please ask your dad.

Love,
Mommy
