You do HAVE to make time to do things for yourself though.<BR/>Last year I participated in a bloggy favorite things swap and when I sat down to make of list of things to buy and send to my partner I realized that everything on the list had to do with things I used for my kids, cleaning, cooking, etc. I had completely lost sight of things I really loved and enjoyed. It was a therapeutic experience for me and things changed quite a bit after that.<BR/>I hope you force yourself to do the things you need to do for you. It will make you better at all the other roles in your life.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01561610754317073080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10837687.post-88732868855416026382009-01-07T00:13:00.000-05:002009-01-07T00:13:00.000-05:00"If Momma Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy"...Hope ..."If Momma Ain't Happy, Ain't Nobody Happy"...<BR/>Hope you get lots of time for yourself in 2009!

I've often considered resolutions past as false promises, and if I know I'm not going to follow through, why bother.<BR/><BR/>But then this year, things feel different. Maybe because 2008 was the first tough year I've had in a long time.<BR/><BR/>I love learning new things from others.

It takes courage to take ...Abby, I'm proud of you. It takes courage to take time for yourself when you're a busy mom and wife. I don't know if you have Mother's Day Out programs where you live, but they have been an absolute must for my sanity. I started Cole in one when he was 18 months old at our church 2 days a week. Kelsey started when she turned two, and Ella started going 2 days a week this past August. It's only 4 hours a day and enables me to focus on myself or much needed errands and chores without the chaos of toting a toddler around with me. I've even been known to come home after dropping her off and taking a nap for 2 hours. Good luck in whatever you decide, but make it about you.Jo from Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413954021035283417noreply@blogger.com
