I don't care what life situation you are in, your age, or whatever, you can't lose sight of who you are and what you enjoy JUST FOR YOURSELF.<br /><br />and I agree with Em, unless it's your hubby, lose the toxic relationship of someone who would have you believe otherwise.mCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16252684152629825538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602219224415733927.post-82546363177336215962009-10-12T19:51:10.806-04:002009-10-12T19:51:10.806-04:00Ha, good for you.

As moms, we do give up so much of ourselves and then there are always certain other people with their expectations of us. We NEED time to spend with ourselves to recharge and reconnect.

The "me" time helps keep you centered, keeps you sane, and helps you appreciate the time you are with your family. <br /><br />My dirty secret...I enjoy the weekends when my son goes to his dad's house. I am completly free during this time. Do I resent it if he needs to stay home for some reason? Absolutly not, I plan fun things for us to do and it becomes a special weekend. <br /> <br />I think my time to myself has made me a better mom and helps me appreciate the time he is with me even more.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10130442147509407544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602219224415733927.post-20583506329001649292009-10-11T19:35:03.856-04:002009-10-11T19:35:03.856-04:00You stay strong and remember how MUCH you ENJOY th...You stay strong and remember how MUCH you ENJOY those 3 to 5 hours each week and how much the kiddos are too!<br /><br />And I am here to listen to you complain as much as you want to!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09569843147080971050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5602219224415733927.post-21919204657344179682009-10-11T19:06:02.464-04:002009-10-11T19:06:02.464-04:00I don't know who is giving you trouble, but yo...I don't know who is giving you trouble, but you need to get them out of your life, now.<br /><br />No one needs to put up with that toxic crap.<br /><br />The one dirty little secret I finally discovered with Youngest starting preschool this year - I'm a better mom because I can count on 8 hours, by myself, each week.<br /><br />See, I suck more than you do ;-)<br /><br />P.S. for some reason I cannot read your blog on my NetBook via blogger, so I have to use Google Reader = no comments.
