How are you doing February 2013 Mamas? Taking time for yourself and self care?
-
I have to say this is an area where I haven't had much time to focus on. By the time everyone's needs are met, there really isn't that much time left for me. I know self care is important and I need to make it a priority. I'm trying to make time to go to the gym. I went once this week and did an at home workout! That's progress. Baby steps.

Sometimes I do great at this and other times I don't shower for 2 days lol. I obviously prioritize LO's needs first, then my husband, then the house. I'm a SAHM who also helps my husband out with our business so I feel like I can't let the house or the cooking or the few business responsibilities I have slide. So while I try and get it all done, my needs come in last. I have to say though, it has made me appreciate a long shower or a trip to Target by myself more than I could have ever thought possible! I joked in the sleep thread that I have separation anxiety, but I think I actually do! Or maybe just guilt? We're lucky that my husband's work is flexible and he's home a lot but I feel weird just leaving to go do something by myself. I feel like if I have free time I should be painting that piece of furniture or reading more to LO. IDK, definitely something I need to work on. Selfie time is important!

My short answer will be- no! DH's schedule has been rough and I'm solo parenting a lot. I think it's just par for the course with two kids that are still so little but still. My toddler is starting preschool next week and then I will have a few hours a day when I only have to take care of B and that should make things easier. I'm planning on taking part of his morning nap as me-time and hopefully we can get in a nice groove.

I personally feel good, but I think Hubs feels neglected. Between working full time and taking care of a baby, there's just not a ton of time for each other. I don't really know what to do about that.
Oh, and I'm serious need of a pedicure...
