Learning to Take time to myself.

I know that I'm not alone when I say, Life as a first time mom, is HARD! Especially being a single mom.
For me it's not such much the finances but finding that time to yourself to relax or just take a well needed breather. I don't have that.

My daughter is now 7 months old today and I have not had a break since I've had her. Literally!
Everyday is a new day, with something new and a new thing to conquer.

I can say that when she was tinier, it wasn't such a challenge but now that she's moving around and rolling, I'm always on the go. From having to keep her away from unsafe household items, picking her up because she hit her face on the floor, keeping the dog from licking her in the mouth, it's always something.

Now don't get me wrong, I love my daughter but I'd like a couple hours to de stress. Lol. 😄

I've even had a talk with some of my older friends that have multiple kids about me feeling so drained, and they all mentioned that not taking time to myself could very well be a reason I'm at my wits end. 

So tonight I put the baby down for the night and I'm taking the time to just release my feeling. 

I NEED A BREAK! 

Even if it's just going for a massage or out by myself. But it's needed.
