Take time for myself-

Post #245,306 by bionerd 2/18/06 10:15:40 AM Reply	Take time for myself- That is the whole problem. There is no time. And I'm sinking. I'm trapped in my life right now and cant even keep up with it. I'm working my ass off trying to get my practice established. Every waking hour is spent working, mothering or running the household. My son has a neuro disorder and is having all kinds of problems right now, which means endless doctor appointments and meetings at the school. I go round and round all day, go to bed, wake up, and hit the ground running to do it all over again the next day. My life is scheduled down to the minute and I hate it. My ex is the least of my worries. And I'm trying to date someone right now (no, it's not Grygus), which is nearly impossible, beause there is no time. Dont think he is going to hang around much longer. Yes, right now, everything is broken. And if it would all slow down for a minute maybe I would have time to fix it. Follow your MOUSE

Even being able to get out of the house for a few hours of window shopping on Saturday is a huge help. Can you find someone to stop by for a few hours on Saturday or Sunday so you can get away and decompress regularly? It's really important for you, and for your kids, for you to find time for yourself. Dating's great too, but it's not a substitute. Hang in there, but get some help. Cheers, Scott.

I feel like a big slug having her do this, but she wouldnt take "no" for an answer. It sure does help. She's also offered to take my kids when ever I need a break, so I have the support. I just have to use it. Follow your MOUSE

I don't know what your options are, but find a way to reduce the time pressure. you need to stay healthy (mentally and physically) for your kids or you will be in a world of hurt. remember to breathe Have fun, Carl Forde

I especially like when the engine stops to let off steam- Whoooooooooossssssshhhhh- steam and sediment come blasting out the side of the engine. Then the train starts up again, chugging down the track. Thanks for letting me whoooooooooooooshhhh. Follow your MOUSE
