Finding time for me……….
How do you do it? How do I find time for myself. I feel like I am doing everything for everyone else and can’t find time for me.
My day consists of getting up at 4 packing hubby’s lunch getting him up and off to work by 5. I have a few minutes computer time before I leave home at 6:30. I get back home around 9:30 when I try to get laundry and other house hold chores done. I am home for the night around 4:30 and then it is time to make dinner and clean up. By then I am so exhausted all I want to do is go to bed. Last night I spent over an hour and a half on the phone with my cell phone company trying to straighten out my bill and got no where. I am so frustrated, that I feel like I do everything around here. What would they do without me. Hubby thanks me for handling everything, but that is not enough. I work full time too, I cook, clean, pay the bills and do it all. I am sorry to gripe, but how do I get him off his butt, Any suggestions? I have always done it all, but lately it has really gotten to me.
Still sticking to my plan and feeling better there, but just needs some suggestions on finding ME time!
Have a great day, buddies!

I work a split shift so I am home between 9:30 and 12:30. I would love for this to be my ME time, but it is catch up on the house work time!
Hmmm, well I know this isn’t the best advice, in fact its horrible, but it works for me
I get a bit noisey in the kitchen. I make sure my hubby hears me and he will come in and ask if I need some help. I give him a big ole hug, smile really big and he pitches right in.
I do understand what you are saying about “me time”. When my Dad was eating supper at our house every night, some days I just felt overwhelmed and smoothered. Things have changed and now I have ALOT of Me time.
Try to take time for yourself Bette Jo. Have you tried talking to your husband about how you feel? I’ll be thinking of you…keep smiling!!! love ya!
I was having the same problem until I logged on here and everyone was telling me how important it is to make time for me! If you aren’t “good” you can’t be “good” for everyone else! I get up an hour earlier before everyone else for “me” time. But since you would like mid-day to be “your” time then get assertive and make it your time. Housework can wait!
That housework is always waiting for us!! Maybe if it gets knee deep, hubby will pitch in. And if not, rattle and bang those pots and pans. At least make him feel guilty. You can’t do it all, and you shouldn’t have to. We spoil those men, you know that. Hugs, Marge P.S. I remember my grandmother banging those pots when I was a child. Her only rebellion!!
