The hardest part about parenthood is finding time to yourself. Now you can plan all you want to make time for yourself while baby is sleeping, or baby is on the swing, or family is over. But in all honesty that is the time you use to shower, cook, clean, do laundry, run errands, and start all over again. Even when family is over and you think that just sitting their with your guests you will get some kind of break, well your not. Now you have become the host, and now your not only attending to your baby, but to your guests as well.
Finding that time for "ME-TIME" is just so darn impossible. I keep telling myself I'm going to hire a sitter and have a day at the spa, but who am I kidding. The spa is far from my home and it costs over $100 for a mere 30 minutes of relaxation. A friend gave me the idea to have a "at home spa day". She suggested I have Cupcake's dad come over and watch the baby for about 2 hours while I just relaxed in my room. Played some relaxing music that can easily be downloaded. Put some bath salts to soak in a hot bath, light up some aromatherapy candles and put on a face mask. Same experience as what the real spa would provide for me but for a cheaper price and at the comfort of my own home.
Maybe someday.
