Every afternoon, after I've laid my babies down for their naps, I can be found drinking some coffee and munching on some dark chocolate. Perhaps I'm reading a book or reading blogs. I used to feel guilty taking this time every afternoon, but I've found that taking a little bit of time to relax gives me a much better attitude for the rest of the day. I jokingly refer to this time as "Mommy's sanity time."
go jogging!
ReplyDeleteOh I WISH that was mine!! It'd probably be better for me than chocolate..;)
DeleteSometimes I save my lunch for while the kids nap so I can enjoy it without having someone try to eat mine because they've already scarfed down their own. I do my blog reading and other stuff.
ReplyDeleteI do that sometimes too! For some reason, it's very important to me to eat my lunch in peace!
DeleteI am with you on the coffee / tea and chocolate. Some days, I think it's the first time I breathe all day! I also find it encouraging to read, lay down (feet up), and nap. I've tried computer and pilates, but I really feel rested on if I actually rest. So my question is: what will we do when they aren't napping anymore?
ReplyDeleteHis,

LOL, I find myself asking that same question! And, yes, just resting is so important. :)
