(do dogs count?) My husband and I take care of his grandfather. Between running his errands, cleaning his apartment, providing companionship and entertainment, seeing to the health of his cat, emergencies that come up unexpectedly, working 40+ hours a week, etc, it is utterly exhausting to be me most days. I don't even have time to cook proper meals half the time. We have been taking care of him for 7 years. Sometimes I feel like I am actually 100 years old. I have no life anymore, aside from being a caretaker for other people. I think I will try to make some "me" time next week, and then I will make my husband take some time for himself too!

I'm not a stay-at-home mom, but I am a mom who is trying to juggle a full-time job, getting my masters, a husband who has Peter Pan syndrome, and two kids. I used to do things just for me--I would get my nails done or get a pedicure. I would get a babysitter on a regular basis, but with money like it is now, I don't do any of that. I used to have help cleaning my house ever two weeks, belong to a bunco group... but not anymore. I feel like a single mom most of the time, and I have definitely lost myself. I have also gained close to 80 pounds since having kids. I want to change all this, but I am SO tired all the time. Just knowing other people are in the same place helps. :) I can completely relate.

As a stay-at-home mom I know how easy it is to lose yourself. You have to have some things that are just yours--and it is okay to and not feel guilty. Love it! Thanks for doing this.

I like your style of writing! I have felt the same way as you! I am trying to get myself back too! It is all to easy to lose yourself when you have to be so grown up with dr appointments, life choices for our children's health, and all the right questions to ask at those appointments to make sure you make the right decisions. It is so easy to lose that fun loving, naive look at life, one moment your life is your own and then the next, you have a special child that matures you in an instant. I will look forward to your next blog to see what insight you can give. I have found that planning all girl outings with friends and no kids is a great way to find yourself again. I have started doing 1 grown-up thing a month. It has helped ~:-) Hi! What a great blog! I like your style of writing! I have felt the same way as you! I am trying to get myself back too!
