Things That Are Luxuries When You Are A Parent

-Going to the bathroom alone without anyone banging on the door, yelling 'MaMa...MaMa' or crying...'Peeeeeee'
-Getting ready by yourself without worrying what your little one is getting into.
-Only feeding yourself during a meal.
-7:30pm the glorious time of day when everything gets quiet because the little one that brings many smiles to your face is in bed for the night.
-When your child sleeps in, even 15-30 mins extra is a luxury.
-Grocery shopping without a little one grabbing everything in the cart or better yet grocery shopping solo or just with your spouse. Sometimes grocery shopping can turn into a very fun date night if there is no child present ha ha.
-Date nights, no longer as spontaneous but 1000% more beautiful and incredible
-Not being pregnant, oh to not be carrying a baby around in your womb! Incredible feeling! Have to admit I am excited to never be pregnant ever ever ever again ha ha.
-Getting out of the house, looking at what your wearing and realizing you 'did it' you made it out of the house without kid goober, food or other various 'stains' associated with being a parent.
-Actually being able to sleep when your child sleep instead of laying there wishing you were sleeping/naps.
-The nursery at church. Oh, glorious church services without a child. It's almost like your are slightly carefree again haha. Love that nursery.
-Quiet car rides
