Appreciation!

Okay, so I finally get it. There is a difference between sacrifice and self neglect. On Friday, sad to say, I had my first time sitting down to watch a movie while the kids napped. I honestly have never done that before and Laylah is 2. I felt weird at first but after a while I stopped worrying about the laundry(which I have to do everyday anyway) and enjoyed the movie. It was so relaxing, and guess what----at the end of the day, I was not burned out like I usually am. Since the kids are both on a new napping scedule and take two naps together everyday, I think that I can afford a 1- 1.5 hour nap or movie or email break everyday. I even managed this past week to do my fingernails one day. For such a little gesture, I feel so much better as a person, as a woman, as a wife, as a mother. It is important to appreciate yourself sometimes, isn't it?
