Some "Me" Time

Every now and again, as every mother knows.......ya' needa little me time; some alone time, some time to just spend by yourself and reflect. I am one of those  mothers. Don't get it twisted in the least, I LOVE my girls, but I'm a single mom and let's face it, sometimes I just need Calgon to take me away. 

This brings me to the realization that I have to find a way to create some time for myself. In the humdrum routine of everyday life, I tend to get caught up in the mundane nature of it all. You all know what I mean....

Get up, get the girls up, dressed, fed, to school, to work, pick up from school/day care, homework, dinner, squeeze in QT, bed time, stay up later than I should, get five hours of sleep, wake up, and start all over again.

I'm not complaning guys. I love my life, I love my girls, (wish I would win the lottery though and quit my job), it's just, sometimes we all need a break. So the plan.....

At least two-three days a month, I am going to figure out a way to go on a date.......with me,  lol! There are so many things that I want to do and focus on. Things that make me, "me." So, it's small step, but a step nonetheless.

Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I can squeeze in the "me" time? Please let me know.

In  other news, LaToya Jackson reminds me soooooooo much of MJ on Celebrity Apprentice, random, I know!

Be Still... and Let Your Nail Polish Dry

Just wanna send a quick "Happy Tuesday" to everyone. As I have been thrown back into the hustle and bustle of the work week, I want to share this little gem that I have found. This is a great little devotional that I came across this weekend as I was basking in some long over due "Me" time at Barnes and Noble. Needless to say, the title drew me in. I read the concept and a couple of the devotionals and I decided to buy it. I love spending quality time with the Lord. Reading these stories and the prayers that go with them, is a great way to start my day.....that is until the baby cries. lol! But for those first few moments of the day, this Devo serves its purpose well and helps me to start the day with the inspiration that I need in order to convince my 5 and 6 year olds that they HAVE to get up and get ready for school. Thank God for the little things!
