Divorced Moms - It's Okay to Take Time for Ourselves 

Sometimes I forget to practice what I preach!  I've spent the last few weeks working way way way more than I should. 

It seems like the only spare moments I had, I felt like I owed them to my kids.  So I rushed them to school, hurried to work, raced to pick them up, hurried back to the computer so I could work some more.  I imagine every Mom in America is feeling this way at times.  I forgot my own words of wisdom........"You're not any good to any body, if you don't stop and take time for yourself!" 

I think we single mom's are the worst.  We have some kind of guilt that because our kids aren't with us full time that we must spend every single second they are with us, paying attention to them. No harm will come if you shut the door and read a magazine for a little while. 

The world will not blow up if you take a bubble bath after putting the kids to bed 30 minutes early.  Hire a sitter and go to a jazz club.  We forget how hard we work.  We really are worth it!
