I've been working really hard lately. I decided to take the afternoon off and visit a couple of stores I like without my children - walk nice and slow down the aisles and enjoy myself, etc. :) It's nice to be able to do this once in a while and to believe that I deserve having some time to myself. It's nice to not feel like I should be working or like I'm going to get in trouble for taking some me time.
Days like today didn't happen before the program for me. If I did finally get so exhausted that time off was necessary, I felt guilty and bad the whole time and didn't even enjoy it.
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful Friday and doing something nice for themselves today. ;)
Well done, White Rabbit, an afternoon to yourself and only yourself to please! Children are so important but every now and then we need time off - just for ourselves. You should schedule in a few more of these, it can only do you good. :)
thanks,WHITE RABBIT, for wishing us a happy Friday! I am enjoying mine; getting out in the sunshine that has been hiding lately! Keep doing "me" things; you will feel so much better as you do these things! I love shopping alone sometimes. DFG! DON'T FEEL GUILTY! KATHLEEN
