Awesome! So proud you took time for you! You did deserve it and I think you should make a day a week, a month or whatever and make a "me" day! I think I'll try to do that ....sounds luxurious and we owe ourselves that!
and after all that time on yourself how do you feel? was it a "productive" moment? Was it time well spent on you?
I learned a while ago that the world will not care if I take a half hour bath or do one more load of laundry. So everything I own is a 'colour' of the washer and goes into cold water. I go into super-hot with herbal mix. twice a week. Once a weekend when the kids are asleep so that there is no banging and NO SHARING!
hello - i took a good look at myself the other day and realized i had really let myself go! so.....yesterday instead of dragging out the vacuum and the swifters and the pinesol - i decided it was my turn instead! the house is clean enough. i dyed my hair back to its original medium brown, took a long bath, shaved!, manicure/pedicure, plucked out about 1000 wayward eyebrow hairs, you get the picture. i took a me day! i feel better for it. i thought about what was worth more - me or the house. me or the shell i live in. me or the doing what was expected of me. what i expected of myself. trying to break rigid patterns. sometimes i find myself on automatic and when i do i stop myself now and say me or the house? or the whatever.....it's been a useful mantra when i'm torn between what to do or feel myself starting to boil or fix - me or the house? i think about me and it calms me right down and when i'm calm i make better decisions, don't pi## people off and seem to be in a better frame of mind. anybody else feel this way? does it make sense? usually when i "primp" i feel guilty, like i should be doing something more productive?
