Your health is one that won't--forcing yourself to take a minute to breathe and slow down is crucial in the long run. Thinking lots of good thoughts for you, in the meantime.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685176674707591308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602883969687391343.post-11942066431981810372011-04-25T18:05:05.009-07:002011-04-25T18:05:05.009-07:00I really appreciate your comments, yes, so importa...I really appreciate your comments, yes, so important to take time for yourself. I don't know why it's so hard, seems especially for women. I know a lot of women right now who are working and their husband's are unemployed, and of course they don't want to be but we end up juggling so much. Something they don't teach you in school, how to relax, how to not do it all.Sewing Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18291558571275361422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602883969687391343.post-20796329695608812232011-04-25T16:25:23.300-07:002011-04-25T16:25:23.300-07:00Oh man, this could be me two weeks ago. I felt th...Oh man, this could be me two weeks ago. I felt the same way - pulled in too many directions and not feeling calm in any way. So I made the decision to send my little Baby J off to daycare in a few months and return to working full time. It's a huge adjustment for our family but working part time (is 30 hours a week even part time?) and taking care of Julia full time (even taking her to work!) was too much.<br /><br />All I can say is that make sure to take time for yourself. So many of us get our only affirmations through work, and when that doesn't exist, you feel so down. Take time to do some non-stressful crafting and enjoy the process!marirobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567068962904837999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602883969687391343.post-30454508512272949922011-04-25T14:44:02.779-07:002011-04-25T14:44:02.779-07:00Ah, I had a moment like that this summer - we were...Ah, I had a moment like that this summer - we were in the middle of trying to move across the country and change everything in our life, and I had a 6 month old baby and I finally got a few hours to breathe -- it is such a good thing. Hope you find some answers and things lighten up at work. God bless.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293324718529774171noreply@blogger.com
