Twice a month, I get 5 day weekends.
These 5 days and I have a love/hate relationship.
While I love what I can get done, I hate being away from my little girl.
As you momma’s know, you can conquer the world with 5 FULL days to yourself.
I’m trying to be an optimist and do just that.
Typically I run around like a chicken with it’s head cut off, trying to get every last thing crossed of my list.
I am trying to ease up on myself a bit though.
I am learning that it is ok to sleep in, or spend an hour getting lost in a book.
I am learning that coffee dates with women that build you up and inspire you, can be your very best medicine.
I am learning the time spent alone, clearing out thoughts in your head to making room for new, is good for the soul.
I am learning that perusing pinterest to be inspired, can be the perfect pick me up.
I am learning that music is what I turn to when I am feeling a certain way. It is my reason for everything.
I am learning that when all else fails, a day at the beach with my toes in the sand is bliss.
…..
I have found myself saying “yes” to more opportunities.
I am thinking outside the box and trying to make the best use of my time.
Focus on ME and what makes ME happy.
good for you girl…im glad you are taking a little extra “me time” to spend some of those hours on YOU. its so important. I can get caught up in the “LIST” rather than in the fact that I actually have a little TIME….and I usually always regret it. With a toddler and a newborn now, I am trying to realize that its totally ok if I have to step over the laundry basket for a few days, because i needed to nap instead of fold.
love you girl!!!
lovely~
The times my oldest went to his dads was always hard on me. but then you realize how nice it is to have me time. i think beach days alone would be so great! Along with a good book!
Ah this was the perfect post! I feel there is never enough time for things and I need to MAKE time. As hard as it is try to treasure that time for yourself and to get stuff done so when L is back with you she can have your full attention! xoxo Funny how things change and make you look at life a whole new way huh? xoxo
good for you for taking that time and really using it for yourself without guilt. you deserve it!
You definitely have to have time to reflect and refresh. It does a soul good!
xx
ps. I have to have music too!
I find myself (even more so as of late) feeling these very same things. Guess we just gotta keep at it and stay positive. Been enjoying your blog so far
Geesh…this is SPEAKING right to me and what I went though over the weekend…
And girlfriend…Music…me too…every song relates to me and my WORLD!
