I don't make the time for me to do much of anything these days. In fact when asked what I do or liek to do I usually can't think of anything that doesn't involve the kids! However, I am quickly discovering that you can't live like that very long. Soon your world falls apart because you become a horrific unrecognizable monster. Really I scarcely recognize my reflection anymore!
It is true you must take care of yourself before you can take care of your family. I have neglected myself too long. I am hating who I have become. So my goal is to take time for myself. I love to read and write. Heck these days I just love to breathe!
Easier said than done!
My goal is to no longer use nap time to clean! The kids take a rest and so will I. One way or another, so today I read from a book I check out and rechecked out. So I've almost had it for 2 months now! But its a parenting book, of coarse. Baby steps! Eventually I'll read a book for pure entertainment!
I will tell you all about the book once I finish reading it. I am very interested in it "Simplicity Parenting: Using the extraordinary power of less to raise calmer, happier, and more secure kids" by Kim John Payne. I highly recommend it and I'm only on chapter 4.
I also wanna/ need to start exercising but well take this one step at a time.
