My problem is that I don't believe I deserve me-time. I can't relax when my kids are in school/sleeping/at a friend's house. The little one, I have a babysitter for him, but I feel guilty about calling her just so I can go do whatever. Or stay out a little longer after appointments. I feel it's my duty to be with my kids at all times, or at least use the time productively, going to appts or doing housework or whatever. My t always tells me to have my babysitter or my friend watch the kids sometime so I can get a break. I just can't do that. But then, on the other hand, I so crave some alone time. I make no sense, I know.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
