All work makes for a tired Mommy

And unfortunately, that is how my life goes.

I am constantly working...at work, at work from home, on the blog, for the child, for the school...it's never ending.  And I don't go out.  Or have some free time.  At.all.

And when I do get a few minutes to myself it's to do a meeting or surf the web or something like that. Nothing fun...not going out with my girls, getting a cocktail (or two or three), window shopping, getting a cup of coffee, watching a movie (at the theater because On Demand doesn't count)...

I'm boring.  And I get seriously talked about by my friends and really close family.  Like a dog sometimes lol.

But that's because they want me to relax and have fun...they know my situation with my everything and that I never take time out for myself.  And they are right, I do need some me time (cue Heather Headley):

It's hard...but I do try.  Me and a friend of mine try to get out at least once a month and have some kind of meal and just shoot the shit.  No kids, no man (hers, not mine because I don't have one *insert semi-sad face here lmao*), no moms, no nothing.  Just two grown women, discussing life and not dealing with it for a couple of hours. 

It's a beautiful thing...IHOP pancakes, coffee, and shit-talking.

So yeah, all work and no play not only makes a tired mommy, but definitely a boring mommy.

YCM: what do you do to keep yourself from being boring and talked about by your friends?

  1. I am glad you find time when you can. It will just make you happier and a happier mom. I find that I need some girlfriend time even if it is only for a cup of tea and a b.s. session. We all feel better. For me, I need crafting time and I feel better when I am stressed. I am much better company afterwards. I never care if I am thought of as "boring", as long as i don't feel that way, who cares.

    1. Hey Winnie,
      Yes...who the eff cares? lol...

      Whatever gives me a few minutes of serenity is good for me and for my family because I'm not all stressed out. I love my IHOP sessions with my girl (we're past due though for this month lol)...despite all the nonsense going on in the restaurant, I'm still at peace in there...

      And I like your idea of crafting...I need to get back into crocheting...

  2. I found that taking even 10 minutes a day for myself meant that I had more to give to the kids, the school etc. When someone thinks I am boring, I look at what they think exciting it. More often than not, I will take boring.

    1. Rennata,

      I really try to get 10 minutes but I have a needy 4 year old lol. I try to bribe her with Disney Jr (I'm going to have to buy stock in them as much as I mention them lol) for about half an hour...but to get a consistent 15 minutes is a blessing lol.

      Thanks for coming through!
