As much as I complain about the guilt and hassles of finding and taking my children to a baby-sitter, I am most definitely a better mother for some uninterrupted time to myself. <BR/>Now the challenge is learning to use that time so it is actually RENEWING, rather than a chance to tackle my To-Do list uninterrupted. :) But I'm learning! And each day I'm learning, I'm teaching the kids to respect that time and hopefully do the same for themselves as they get older too.<BR/>Now I'm off to do my meditation homework!<BR/><BR/>AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-1136480653485079102006-01-05T11:04:00.000-06:002006-01-05T11:04:00.000-06:00Give me another hour or two and I'm going to need ...Give me another hour or two and I'm going to need to de-stress big time! I'm sending #2 son back to college today and after he leaves I'll have to shovel out the bedroom and bathroom he's been using. And why the hurry? I have company coming for a party tonight -- a farewell for a Red Hat sister who is moving to Seattle. ARGH! As LJ told me in an email earlier today, maybe I can just take deep breaths while I'm in the shower this afternoon.<BR/><BR/>It was indeed fun. Thanks again LJ for sharing with us. I especially liked the idea of your "God box." I remembered a tiny wooden box that my husband put in my Christmas stocking several years ago. It's only about 1 inch wide and 2 inches long, but the top slides off to reveal a compartment inside. I plan to write my 2006 goals on a tiny slip of paper, put it in this box (which has LOVE carved on the top) and put it away in my jewelry box for the year.<BR/><BR/>Anybody wanna come help me clean???Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.com
