Topic: Alone time-Juggling it ALL

How much alone time do we give ourselves? Everyone needs alone time, no matter the situation. As a parent I am always searching for that LOL. Sometimes I might not get to go out on my own, but I occasionally lock myself in my room in the dark and turn on my ipod. And that relaxes me and helps me get centered.

I hate to see people stressed out and feel like they have no time for anything. Especially my friends. We are all thriving for that perfect job/career and doing what we gotta do to get it. Some of us go to school, work and raise families. And we sacrifice time-and our families to get it. For some it works and for others not so much. I can only do a little bit at a time. When it comes to my kids im so selfish-I dont let my husband be the mother hen because I feel like I do it better LOL. I choose to work pt and go to school FT. That is how I balance it for me and my kids. I enjoy picking them up from school and seeing their faces when they see me getting them. I enjoy the HW time with them as well, even though sometimes  I'am tired. I want my kids to grow up knowing that I was there for them all the time especially there younger years.

I think we all want that for our families. At the same time we all need to get that Alone Time, no matter how we get it. It centers us, helps with our sanity, and our survival! As WOMEN being a SUPER WOMAN not only means doing it all, but allowing others to help as well.
