Re: Time For Yourself?
The only "certain" time for myself each day is when I wake up in the morning and before I close my eyes at night. I take five deep breaths at these times and try to let myself feel some peace. I do try to have some time during the day to read. I am still working on enhancing my "me" time.

Re: Time For Yourself?
I think it gets easier and more available as the your kids get older. One day you will be saying to yourself "OMG" I have so much me time, what do I do" because your kids will get lives of their own. Just know that not having too much me time now must mean that you are being a great involved parent!!!

Re: Time For Yourself?
I have recently become officially a single parent. I say officially because even though we were together, we were NOT "together" for a long time. I moved 5 hours away from her father, but not because of any danger. I had an opportunity to really put a future together for myself and, in turn, for my daughter. She is 4 years old and there IS hope for our family, but this move had to be made. Having said all that, I greatly underestimated the single parent role. The only time I have for myself, it seems, is when nature calls or to have a bath/shower. Of course that doesn't mean I'll be by myself during these times either, but usually that's when I seize the moment. It's tiresome and even frustrating at times, but I have to remind myself that it IS just me and her now. These sacrifices of my time are nothing when weighed against the positive affects of giving my time to her when she really doesn't have anyone else to "be with". When I was pregnant, I remember the warnings of so many women before me who regretted not stopping to take it all in. It's important to realize that these years will go by faster than we know or, in the end, will have wanted. I try to heed the advise to cherish all that I can while I can and it helps me get through the less-than "me" times.
