I want my normal back



I'm not sure what that actually means, but I want my normal back.I am still looking daily for the peace and the joy in life and most days I do fairly well, but I want my life back . I want to have the desire to work out, to shop, to enjoy my family, to read blogs, enter sweepstakes, etc.. I am truly struggling with my inability to juggle it all. I have been THE one doing it all for so long that I am on autopilot.

Up until about a year and a half or so ago I always made sure to have me time. Granted it took me years to get back there after my son was born and I was in a new role, but I did do it and kept at it for a good two years. Then everything changed. Just when I got a routine and a schedule down I took on a job, school, and all of the issues that escalated with my daughter, not to mention all the constant running from appointment to appointment and all my usual household/mom duties. It was like fight or flight ya know? I just did it all and continue to do it because no one else can or will. I need me to be important too. I know this, but I am having a hard time making it a priority again. I am so hoping that after my kid/life vacation to Vegas in a week that I can start making me important again. It will probably have to wait as yet another issues has arose with my daughter that involves court and probation officers, and who knows maybe even lawyers now, however I need to do this before I crack. So I know some of you may know what I am going through and I would love any words of advice you can give me. Nothing can really be put on the back burner but I need to move me up in check, so how exactly do I find my mojo again?

Sounds like you definitely need some 'me' time. Sucks that you have a ton on your plate right now, talk about stress right? I've never been in a situation like this cause I don't have kids yet but whenever I find myself putting me last I take a day off & just say fuck it to everything else and dedicate that one day to do whatever I want to do. Regardless of whether that includes sitting in my pj's all day watching tv or going out to see a movie alone..it's my time. Hopefully you'll find a way to make time for yourself soon, before you crack :)

I hope you find it, because you really are missed.

If you don't put yourself first, you're no good to anyone else either.

You is what is inside. You will never find it anywhere else and no one can give it to you. All you need is 20 min a day to go inside your self and take a look around. Call it what you want or don't call it anything, it is just finding your self, your MO JO.
