this is something...
i have to say I am about to go to lunch (from work) where I am going to enjoy some lovely mexican food. no kids, no kid menus, no arguing, no refusing to eat, no messes, no spills, no running noses, no kid conversation, etc. i am ready to have an intelligent conversation to a nice meal. i need this. its so small, but i promise this is making my day. maybe i should do this once a week or something to try to keep my sanity or whats left of it.

yes we do deserve it! if you ask me, our jobs are harder than the bio parents jobs. the bio parents have this automatic love and "fear of getting in trouble" at least to some extent. step parents come in to this as the "homewrecker" in one way or another. they have to earn every bit of respect, love, good moments, etc. step parents do not get nearly enough credit.

I have girl's yoga night once a week. My best friend and I do this together, and it has helped save my sanity on multiple occasions. Making time for yourself is NECESSARY. It's ok to be selfish sometimes.

I go get groceries alone. This is my pathetic but much needed silent alone time these days. I go to the grocery store, I wander aimlessly up and down the isles - not even putting things in my cart - I check out what look to be odd items just out of curiosity.
Sad, I know, but so peaceful.
i feel you on that one. any
i feel you on that one. any moment i can get alone, i just right on. even when i feel like calling in to work, i think...if i dont go to work im stuck with them all day. before i know it im out the door and on my way to work!
