I would watch Oprah, play outside with the dogs, visit my parents, walk, visit a neighbor, go to the store-just something without the baby. It was fantastic. Then he changed jobs 3 months in and I lost that daily relief. Now I work again and while it isn't really a break because I have so much more to do in less time it makes me miss him like crazy and the mommy part of me can't wait to be back in mommy-mode!<BR/><BR/>Glad you reached that place and hope you can put it to practice!Somewhat Ordinaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09701338805685025735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-67782562505596985232009-04-12T16:09:00.000-07:002009-04-12T16:09:00.000-07:00I'm glad you're feeling a bit better.I'm looking f...I'm glad you're feeling a bit better.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to hearing what you decide to do on your me-time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221819811860290504.post-64111524598924204832009-04-12T11:30:00.000-07:002009-04-12T11:30:00.000-07:00Great post Tara!

Mommy Martyrs are not good mommys they just want everyone to think they are. I know - my mum was one. (I once asked her when she was going to climb down off that cross she was carrying!)<BR/><BR/>I always think back to that analogy of the emergency oxygen in a plane. They tell you to fit your own before your child's for good reason. You won't be much good to said child (or anyone) if you're not breathing.<BR/><BR/>So grab that oxygen mask for you!The_EmilyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518701459742284875noreply@blogger.com
