It's been a really long time since I've taken a break and just got away for time to myself.
Many of you may travel for work and have time alone, but I am always with my family. It is great because we are a team and enjoy one another. However, I was feeling overwhelmed with so many activities and the busy schedule that my kids have. I dealt with some amount of mom guilt, but I did not let that stop me from leaving for a few days.
How often do you take time away for yourself?

As mothers we have so much guilt about everything😊We deserve time alone! A therapist was saying how it is so important to be good to ourselves. It is proven it makes our children happier when we are taking care of ourselves❤
I agree. 🤎
A Beautiful singing voice!
Thanks 🤎
Another great video. I think it's human nature to have mommy guilt when we're away from our children and spouses too, in many cases. I didn't take days away from my children that way, but I had a job that required me to travel monthly at least a week at a time and I went through a law enforcement training program when my baby was only a few months old that lasted about 4 weeks. When I did all that business travel for about 5 years, I got the best of both worlds to have some me time and my employer paid for the expense. Also, I had all boys and for the most part they were NOT clingy children any way. Let me know your thoughts on "Forgiving What You Can't Forget" I've heard mixed reviews.
I have a best friend that is holding onto her job because she gets to travel for work and loves that. She will be in Cali in the fall and is excited.
In the past when she’d talk about traveling for work I would think about how glad I was to be a teacher and never had to leave my family.
Now I’m like OMG I do sometimes need time alone, and to have all expenses paid by the job sounds great.
I would love to take time alone...Never experienced this as a single mother I am exhausted from yrs. of grinding so hard...Good for you.
Awww, I hope you can get a break. I know you’re an awesome mother, so stay encouraged it’ll pay off!
@REEstylesIT Thank you...he is grown now, it feels so good to be home alone sometimes...it refreshes me and one day I will take a short trip like this 😊
