Stay at Home Moms

 We, as stay at home moms, try to do everything. We run errands, school the kids,make breakfast,lunch, and dinner, discipline, clean house, laundry, clean up the yard, take the kids to soccer games,make phone calls,answer email, work from home to make ends meet, and then we are supposed to ripe our husband's clothes off when he walks in the door and we are supposed to look ravishing all at the same time. I say " stop the madness" .

This is so unobtainable. We can't expect to get all of these things done all of the time. There just isn't enough time in the day. We would be pulling our hair out. Which most of us are probably already doing. I think it is high time that we take back some time for ourselves.

We need to get out and have some ME time. I encourage you to try and find a local babysitter. Find someone in your church, maybe a youth member. Ask your girlfriends if they know someone. If money is too tight, ask a friend if you can swap keeping each others kids.

Go treat yourself. Go walking through Barnes and Noble. Get a coffee from Starbucks. Go get a pedicure. Spend your day at home watching old movies.

I really feel that when we spend some time pampering ourselves and when we have some quiet time, we come back to our families feeling more refreshed and invigorating. I personally feel like i have more patience. I actually give myself an opportunity to miss them. It also is good for your children to be able to interact with other children. I think that they will thank you too.
