Just make sure you set time aside for YOU! I raised 5 alone and found that if you don't get away once in awhile...you tend to have evil thoughts I know it's tough....but give yourself some free time.

Yes, love them, but let them grow; make them responsible, but you remain the guide; remember they grow up and go away so, make time for you.... Best of Luck to YOU!!! |

I agree!!! Ya need time to yourself as a woman....I never involved a man in our lives for a very long time...I kept to being mom...and that was my only concern.... but.... I did find time to go out with my girlfriends..movies...shopping...spa or just to thier house for coffee.... without that time....I right now would be in an asylum...drawing dirty pictures on the wall....heheh |
