[…] My day to day life consists of being mommy, chauffeur, supporter of all, and rarely do I find time for myself. Interacting with adults only happens for me in the virtual world because it’s very hard to […]

You are so wise to realize you need some “me” time. I used to sing in the church choir just so I could go to choir practice and have some me time. It is so much healthier.

I can relate girl. A few months ago I was burnt out beyond belief. I was working non-stop, being a wife and mom, taking care of our home, meals, laundry, and everything between. It was tough and I fell apart. I realized that I needed to set limits concerning my client work and also take much needed me time.

I now shut my computer down by 7:30pm, put the kids in bed and I relax for an hour or so in front of the tv or read and then go to bed early. This has been a simple change that has made a HUGE difference. Everyone has their own thing that will help bring refreshing & rejuvenation. You will have to work that something into your schedule. Even though your husband probably does work hard – you still deserve to have your own time as well. And that is so wonderful that your husband agrees.

Take that time, even if it is for only an hour every few days. It is so important. So cheer up girl. You are doing great. And it is awesome that you have a place to share about your feelings, isn’t it? I love being able to blog. It is a great place to vent and receive awesome encouragement and advice from others going through the same things.

God bless you, DAWN

I know what you're going through, Brandy. Thank you for speaking up so other women can see it's okay to feel this way, to need to take some time away. I'm so glad your husband supports you and tries to understand. Mine does as well, but it can certainly be a difficult concept to explain. Take your time away and enjoy it! I'm planning to see a movie by myself one day soon, either The Proposal or The Time Traveler's Wife, and I can't wait! Let us know what you do with your free time. .-= Mary@Everyday Baby Steps´s last blog ..Celebrating With McDonald's =-.
