Wanted: Mommy Time Off
Being a mother makes it hard for me to have time to myself. I need to get out a bit and to do frivolous things like going for a walk, at my own pace, or going to the library just to flip through some magazines.
I used to go out to dinner with a group of women once a month. These ladies were mainly friends of a friend, but we enjoyed being together. We went to all sorts of restaurants, an 80’s dance, ceramic painting and even just out for dessert. Unfortunately, the group fell apart over the summer. We still talk about trying again, maybe in the New Year. Christmas and middle of summer was the worst for getting people to commit to going out. Holidays and busy schedules seem to get in the way.
So how do I get motivated and actually go out? I guess I need to schedule it on the calendar or at least figure out the best time for me to leave the house! (’best time’ ya right!)
