Mental Health Day for Mommy

Jun 12, 2007 08:31

I was going to take today off and go to that MomCorps breakfast up in Waltham. Instead, I decided to just take the day off. I didn't get any argument from Tim. He is not a believer in "mental health days" and in the past has given me a hard time about taking them. In fact, I was waffling last night as to whether or not I was going to work today ( Read more... )

I think one of the drawbacks to being a SAHM is that there are no mental health days. =P

I hope you enjoy your day! Coffee and a donut in the morning air sounds lovely!

Funny you should say that because I had that exact thought as I drove away from daycare!!

It sounds horrible to admit that I'd love a day of relaxation without Natalie, doesn't it?

No, it absolutely does not. I know you love Natalie with all that you are, but it is definitely okay to say you need some time for yourself. Even if that time is spent sleeping on the couch! Being a Mom is the hardest job I've ever had - and everyone needs a day off once in a while!

GOOD FOR YOU.

Mental health days are so important. Glad you took Patrick to Judy's...how often do you actually get peace?? :-)

We're going away at the end of July...I can't wait. Not looking forward to paying the rest of the cottage bill this month but at least that part is done so all we worry about the week we're away is food. And all the other crap we buy on vacation and then just clutters up the house ;-)

Hope you had a nice day.
