Have Some Fun!

Single mothers tend to give, give, give with no one giving back to them.  There is rarely time for self in the midst of tending to children, work and home.  I have learned that if I am going to have fun, I typically have to plan it myself.  I need not only fun time with my children, but fun time as an adult woman.  Little things such as a stroll through the mall or the pampering of getting hair or nails done can do wonders for a stressed out mom.  You need to dream and to have some thing to look forward to just as your children do.  Not everything has to cost money although you should not feel guilty for little indulgences.  Coffee and a new book, new bath salts, or a stroll through a city garden or museum can bring such peace.  

Think of one thing you can do for yourself each week.  The best idea? Invest in yourself.  Invest in training in areas where you want increase or improvement.  Invest in your dreams.
