Smiley Saturday - A little me time
One of my goals has been to have a little quality me time. Theoretically, I should have me time every Monday morning when the kids are at school, kinder and childcare. However, it never usually works that way as I am usually helping in The Engineer’s classroom or taking care of committee duties at kinder.
This morning as I was having a very squashy shower with our two girls *sigh* I decided today was the day my me time was going to start. I shooed the girls out of the shower, got them dressed and then advised everyone I was going for a walk. BY MYSELF. The look on the girls faces was just what I expected. Big eyes looking up, welling with tears. Why can’t we come? I’m going for a mum walk, I told them.
What I found most surprising was how excited I felt to be going somewhere BY MYSELF, not running errands for someone or picking someone up, for only 15 minutes. What has my life become?
Anyway I really enjoyed my little walk around the wetlands at the end of our street. I may have been singing a bit too loudly to the iPod (I don’t think anyone heard), but I enjoyed it. So now I am going to make sure I get my little me time walk every couple of days. It makes me smile

Good for you. Everyone needs some to themselves time. You sometimes just have to make it. Take care of yourself.
