But you have to make time for you.<br />http://www.erinslittlesecrets.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7285764348871241345.post-86153147581650632972012-01-08T12:39:42.605+00:002012-01-08T12:39:42.605+00:00It is definately not too much to ask!

We think about something we might like to do for ourselves and then the mother guilt sets in. Don't let it! *shoos motherguilt away with big stick*<br />Personally, I think it's really important to try and find one or two little things just for ourselves. Being a mum (SAH or otherwise) requires alot of giving - and I think it's healthy and sanity saving to have something for you/ your husband that gives you some mental 'out' time from the day to day stuff and also, that helps you continue to grow/ interest/ excite you as a person. As you say in your 'about me' piece - if mummy is happy that's good for everyone :0)(I agree.)<br /><br />You might not get to do everything on your list for 2012, but if you see it as an aspiration rather than a list of things you must do...then I bet you'll get to do some of them. You can always roll the others over into 2013!<br /><br />OK..will get off your blog now! xxMummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.com
