So don't be afraid to give yourself a little slack ... not to watch TV and eat ... but maybe to rest or take a nap here or there. You have to make sure your own cup is full before you can always give to others!An Ordinary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497066145696617241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-11141991222694520952009-02-18T19:40:00.000-08:002009-02-18T19:40:00.000-08:00Those are really good thoughts!

It makes sense. <BR/>I do have to have some "me time" everyday, usually to take a nap! But I really do have to take the time to sew or scrapbook or something I enjoy most days too to feel balanced.Richellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12301264691031997087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-84149416217376673722009-02-18T14:21:00.000-08:002009-02-18T14:21:00.000-08:00This is excellent.
