I can SO relate to this, especially since I homeschool. My boys are ALWAYS HERE!

Yesterday, I went out to get my car emissions checked without my boys. I was sitting in the waiting room at the car place flipping through People magazine and I realized I felt SO peaceful. And then I realized that my peaceful moments tend to come in my car in parking lots (when the boys are at home), emissions waiting rooms...places where I can get a quiet moment alone. I would love to find a way to give more of that to myself. I can get up before the kids, or stay up after they go to bed, but there is a LOT of day in between those times. Maybe you and I can brainstorm ways to get some alone time...and then hold each other accountable

Actually, my T and I have realized that one of the BIGGEST benefits of therapy for me is having that hour of quiet space all to myself.
