Its not always easy to get "Me Time" when you are a mother. Being a mother of five young children I know that all too well. It seems like everything I plan to do for myself is always off set by some pressing emergency with the family. Whether it's PTA meeting, piano or dance lessons, a cold or the hubby just wants to spend time. A mommy's me time always seems to find it way killed and buried by other things.
I am here to tell you how necessary it is to get some "me time" in, Because I am a stay at home mom and the children are my responsiblity during the day I use my night hours as my time. Whether it is just taking a long soak in a warm tub, reading a few pages in my ALL YOU Magazine or watching IRONCHEF AMERICA until my eyes burn. That time is used just for me. After we have put the kids to bed and my husband and eye have digested the day. I steal a few hours for myself.
Many would call me crazy and say girl with a five year old three in between and a newborn you should get some sleep while its quiet. Sleep does not seem that appetizing if I fall asleep with my children and wake up with them. I find that I am a better mother if I can have sometime to indulge in the things I enjoy doing reading, writing or thumbing through a fashion magazine.
So my advice to you by any mean neccessary get some much needed "Me time" the length of that me time is totally up to you.
Like it Talethia! Keep working on it. You can find ways to make some extra cash from it if you wish. Maybe your thoughts can eventually become a book. Maybe a vlog is also in your future. The sky is the limit girl. Walk into the things that God is calling you to do. My testimony is an example. I left a jobb paying decent $$ to start my own business in November. This is new and sometimes scary. But I know its what I was called to do. So, I say that to say, "eyes have not seen nor ears heard the GREAT things God has in store for you. Be blessed!
