It was much harder to do when the boys were little, but now I'm finding that even little chunks of quiet time sprinkled in here and there can do wonders! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

It's a much harder idea to follow when you're younger and have small children, but I think you can still get in some "me-time,: even if it's only while they are napping. It's all part of the concept I heard many years ago -- "If you don't take care of yourself, how can you expect to take very good care of others?" As I've gotten older and retired, it's actually a bit more difficult to take that time for myself. Time becomes a commodity that is very precious and yet seems to be passing by so very quickly. I have to spread my chores out over the week, because I can no longer clean my entire house in 2-3 hours; so I have something scheduled every day (M-F) in the mornings, but try to keep the afternoons free to do whatever I want. Yes, it's very important to have that time!An Oasis in the Deserthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775583025686145582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917979869969793507.post-60247333207740538282014-11-04T16:04:26.120-08:002014-11-04T16:04:26.120-08:00Lisa, that's very good advice!!!

Life's too short to always be running around and stressing over things. Ok, for the New Year, I will carve out some time out of my week to slow down. Hopefully, my ADHD personality will accommodate this new goal! Thanks so much my dear friend! Hey, your son's make-up was way too real looking! hmmm. a future in Hollywood?<br />Toodles,<br /><br />Janine,xoxoHappy Happy Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167301998858505942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917979869969793507.post-36476340954309953362014-11-04T15:34:47.863-08:002014-11-04T15:34:47.863-08:00Lol!

I don't have a "scheduled" me time, but sometimes I admittedly hand over the babe as soon as my hubs walks through the door and weather permitting, I will then go outside a piddle around.

When my kids were small and then when I was working, I'd stay up later than everyone else just for quiet time. Then, with 2 in college and 1 living away from home, I designated an evening that *no one* could be at home. My daughter was working PT and dating so that was not a problem. :)<br /><br />Your son did an incredible job with his "art" on his body! So realistic...maybe too much? LOL<br />Absolutely love that tree ~ such a treasure.<br /><br />Enjoy your day!<br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917979869969793507.post-70679883882843111272014-11-03T21:52:00.237-08:002014-11-03T21:52:00.237-08:00Good for you Lisa for setting time aside for yours...Good for you Lisa for setting time aside for yourself!

I squeeze it in here and there, and actually, a lot of the things I do around the house and the cooking is sort of fulfilling. Except laundry.

I clean, run errands all week, but take time out for my favorite shows, blog surfing and writing and shopping. I had to laugh when you said Tuesdays were your favorite day of the week. Did you know that my oldest son believes Tuesdays bring him bad luck? He may be right too, because often when things go wrong for him they are on a Tuesday. He was supposed to be born on a Tuesday, but didn't come until Wed. morning! He started boot camp on a Tuesday (and we all know how that worked out)! He may have a point. Glad that it isn't bad for everyone though. LOL!
