Free time - Momtourage: Blogger Knows Best
momtourage.net

A month ago I started working full time again. I was laid off in February and before getting the new job I freelance full time. After starting the new job, I needed to finish some lingering freelance projects and was feeling the stress of "burning the candle at both ends." Once I finished my last project I had visions of evening spent playing with my daughter before her bedtime, knitting, sewing, relaxing.
It's now a few weeks since I've turned in that last project and I still feel as though I don't have any down time. What gives? What little crafting I've done has been in spurts over the weekend, but weeknights seem just as busy as ever. Between cooking dinner, cleaning, making lunches for the next day, bath time, and reading stories to my daughter, by the time she is in bed, I'm ready to collapse myself. And that doesn't include trying to have coherent, meaningful conversations with my husband, any cleaning, etc.

I know this is nothing new or unique but lately it seems worse than ever. Perhaps it's all this rain we've had here in NY making me feel even worse. 

How do you get the down time you need?

I hear you! Where does the time go. Hopefully it is just a transition.

I've been trying to get up earlier. I set the alarm for 5:00 or 5:30 and get up to have a cup of coffee alone. It allows me to focus and feel like I've had a little me time. Then I also make time for exercise around 6:30. The exercise really helps me beat the blues too.

Hope this helps.
