Sometimes moms just need a break. I stepped back from routine life this weekend and went out of town with my family. It was mostly to visit some friends but also to get a mommy reboot. Since the family came along, I can't say it was a total break, but I had the chance to get away from cooking and cleaning, emails and phone calls, texts and facebook. I needed to turn myself off for a while and get back to the basics. We took walks, went to parks, and talked face to face. When we left on Friday, I was in sad condition. I felt like nothing was ever going to get done, and I was overwhelmed. Now that we're back and rebooted, I realized that cutting myself off for a while is just what I needed to get going again.
Perhaps you are feeling frazzled and overwhelmed like I was last week. Even if you can't go away, what can you give up for a day or a few days to allow you the chance to reboot?
