I just spent a very relaxing day yesterday playing hooky from work and only doing things that I wanted to do.

Between work, school, and the kids, I pretty much run myself ragged for other people 90% of the time. This is my life and I am quite happy with it, however, those few solitary hours I spent on my own this Thursday was the most relaxed I have been in a long time.

I wish I could carve more time out of my busy schedule for myself. Doesn’t matter how long…could be as little as an hour a day. Just time enough for me to answer an email, take a phone call, read a chapter from my book, nap briefly, or just not talk for awhile.

I’m not saying that I don’t love spending time with my family, but there is something to be said for alone time…helps keep me sane, I guess. Lord knows, I could use more of it…free time, not sanity. Well, ok, maybe both:D
