The Mediocre Mom's Guide to Greatness

Well I’m taking another break but just for two days.  Today is my 10 year anniversary and I can’t believe it!  We are going to do some kid free celebrating so I won’t have anything to post.  I will however post some pictures of what we were doing 10 years ago.  We’ve got some free passes for the Flowrider, Ifly and rock wall and I’m nervous about the first two but it will be an adventure, just like my marriage.

See you on Friday!  If you want to find something fun to do for the next two days look at our Tags and Categories on the right side of the screen.  This will link you to some things we’ve done in the past.

Today’s Activity:

Today is veteran’s day and although we generally relate veteran’s to those who have served in a war the term can also be used for someone that has worked very long and hard in any profession, including being a mother.  Find some time for yourself today.  If you need to turn on a movie to get some quiet or force your children to take a nap then that’s just fine.  Go in your room with a book, magazine, newspaper, or even an alarm clock and relax.

Note:

I try to set aside a few minutes for myself everyday to read or sometimes just think.  Even if it only ends up being 5 minutes I still feel rejuvenated.

Evaluate:

If you are anything like me “me time” consists of relaxing while my mind goes over my to do list of things that I should be doing rather than having me time.  The only way for me to escape my daily tasks is to go into a room that is semi-clean and has fewer things to distract me…today that was the front room/TV room.   I enjoyed some down time filing my nails and watching Rachel Ray.  It was some much needed me time….which makes up for the many interruptions I’ve gotten while typing this.

Prepare:

Schedule a play date for your children on Friday the 13^th.
