Here recently I have been saying I need some me time. And since I dedicate my every second to my daughter and husband, people tend to freak out and jump to conclusions when I need a breather. I am literally with my daughter every second of the day including night time. And very rarely do I go out with anyone other than my family. But, there comes a time when I have to tend to my needs as an individual and not as mother and wife. I am more than those important roles in my life. I am AMY and if I don't take care of her sometimes then I fail at the other two. When Madi was born I focused on her 100% and truly lost myself as a person for a while and that wasn't benefiting her either.
There are those days where I need to just let my hair down and be free to be "ME" for a change. Turn the radio up and dance around the house without a care in the world. Or go out shopping or to lunch with my gal pals and have some girl talk. Dress up a little more sexy than usual and feel comfortable being a woman. It's my skin I need to feel comfortable in. Some people are envious of a SAHM and although I would never trade it for a million dollars, it's not all glitz and glamour. I have those days where I get depressed missing the world of working and having adult conversations. So this year I am not asking...but demanding...more "ME TIME" so that I can be better at the job I need to do in a more loving and competent way.

Well said!!!
Yeah! Enjoy every minute of "me" time you get! I was recently asked to join a steering committee for a local non-profit, it has given me an excuse to be Jesica, instead of Mom and I am loving every minute! I hope you find refreshment this year!
I am a firm believer in Me time.
Enjoy your time! It will refresh you to take care of Madi and for loving Andy
