Toddle Along Tuesday is back after its small break! The topic this week is balance.
My first response is: "What's Balance?"
If any of you saw my guest post last week on Growing Up Geeky, then you know I don't have balance. {If you haven't checked it out yet -- you should!}
I have a very hard time taking that time for myself and not focusing 100 percent on others. But, like I said in my other post, I'm truly working on it.
I'm trying to set some more time apart just for me. And, I'm trying not to feel super guilty if I let Morgan help out a little more around the house. I'm taking my free time and trying, as much as I can, to enjoy it.
Why is this so hard for moms? Can anyone tell me? I used to be able to sit down and watch TV or play a video game for hours on end. I never felt guilty, anxious, or worried about it. Taking time for myself was a given.
Now, its the complete opposite. I always feel like I'm "on-the-clock" so to speak. Like, I am always accountable to someone.
But, like I said, I'm working on it. Remember that horrible unibrow? Yeah -- that's gone! I got that sucker waxed off! And, I even have a haircut scheduled!
How do you find balance? Any one have a good tips on making time for yourself?

Secondly, I'm just now transitioning into the land of guilt and shame. Just 9 months ago, I could sit and marathon through episodes of LOST with the hubby. Sometime mid-pregnancy, I lost the ability to sit still. And now as we approach D-Day, my blood pressure is dictating that I stay on the couch and it's absolutely killing me. Keep working on that balance thing. I'll be reading along for tips.
I'm with you...I need to figure out this balance thing, too. I cried tonight because I didn't finish all the laundry I needed to get done because I had a headache and wanted to lay down for a few minutes while Ethan napped. It's so hard. :(
