Thank you for the encouraging responses to my first foray. I see that I still have to get the hang of responding and staying in touch. It is a little bit of a guilty pleasure to sit here browsing through what everyone else is thinking and doing instead of 'being productive'. I am with Nataly on the extra 10min & $10. My daughter was sick yesterday and I had an extra day at home. It was an incrdeible relief to have a good reason to not be running myself ragged. I slept, fed her required medecines; we read, took a long bath together and filed our nails. I didn't even TRY to get too much done. It was amazing and I need to work more of those moments in beause I feel so refreshed today!! (even with the backlog facing me from yesterdays neglect...)

  • Hi Victoria,

    I feel the same. So sad that it has to be almost catastrophic before we allow ourselves to take the time we need....

  • Sometimes I'm actually grateful for being sick bc that's the only time i'm forced to take it easy and take care of myself.....

  • Good for you! Love that you gals had a bath together and did your nails. I love those times with my oldest, too, which reminds me I should try it with the little one!

  • wow! that is fantastic! it is amazing how one day of rest can make not only the daily tasks but also the backlog so much more manigable!

  • Hi, Dancinmama - I was wondering when you'd post again, really enjoyed your first note:)

    So glad you were able to turn a sick day into a good day. I always try to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the days when I have to take off work and be with my daughter; to put away the pc and just be there with her, doing fun girl stuff.
