It’s not always easy to find time for myself. Much of my day is spent caring for the kids and house. I love my family and enjoy caring for them but there are times I feel I need a break. Not a permanent break, just a short one to regroup. It can be difficult to try and find time but I think it’s an important part of good parenting.

If my mind is has had a chance to renew then I can be a better mother, wife and homemaker. While I type this I am thinking, “when am I going to find the time”. I don’t know but I am going to try and find it, or maybe the correct word is- make it.

I have been getting up before the kids since before school started which has helped my mental state a lot. I am usually able to get the day started right if I have had at least a half an hour before everyone gets up. This is a big deal for me because I used to just roll out of bed after everyone else was up. My days were always playing catchup. There is much to be said about giving yourself time in the morning.

I have also been able to ride my horse more lately. I love being able to spend time with her. It’s good for my horse and it’s good for me. So now that I think about it I have been able to find time for myself, I don’t know what I am complaining about
