Wednesday, November 11th, 2009Today’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 13th.
