Do you make time for yourself? I always want to do "something" for myself - for example go to a scrapbooking workshop - but then when I think about any cost involved (gas to get there, cost of the workshop, a sitter or if it is my mom I always worry if I am bothering her), hubby getting home on time, getting a sitter for a short time until hubby gets home, the house being a mess when I get back - I usually back out and don't make the time for myself.
I need to start doing this - to make myself happier. To make me a better mom.

What are some ways I can do this?

I don't have a big problem with this. When my kids were young and I would do my devotions in the morning they seemed to be fine with that. I would say that I was going to do my devotions and sometimes they would interrupt, but they got used to me doing that.

For exercise I would meet a friend at 8 pm to go for a walk. That way the kids were usually in bed and my husband was home.

Now, when I'm feeling stressed I'll go for a run. My kids are old enough to be home alone now, so I have lots of freedom.
