..having it all…career..family..home..friends………let’s not
forget laundry…dishes…..cleaning the house….weeding the garden….blah blah
blah…..we as woman are old & believe we can have it all…….and we can….but
what happens when having it all sucks the life right out of us……leaves us no
time nor energy left for ourselves? ? I know for sure that we as woman put a
tremendous amount of stress & pressure on ourselves…is it a chick thing…I
don’t know…but being a daughter..a mother..a wife….a professional….all these
roles combined leave me for one feeling like there is no time for me to take
care of me…..sure sure…we have all heard it & many of us have said it……take
time for yourself…put yourself on your list….ha! My damn list is so long there
is no room to add me!
At what point do we as women go from spending hours primping
for a big date to just being happy you have clean undies…..Oh I remember the
days when I would take all day to get ready…shower..shave & exfoliate till I
glissened…a fresh coat of nail polish….tweeze a few wild eyebrow hairs……all
before I “did my face & hair” ….. oh and the hours of pre thoughts of the
clothes…oh yes..the clothes……and shoes……we are talking an all-day process……those
were the days we I was my own priority. What happened?
I will tell you what happened….after all that primping &
prepping I looked so good I snagged a guy…next thing ya know I have a family…a
baby and a house…….my priority changed…..when you are in the middle of making
bottles…checking homework….making boxed Mac & cheese….you don’t even think
about making yourself a priority…..well....untill your hubby pisses you
off….then of course life is not fair or equal…it’s all his fault..you never have
any time for yourself…etc etc etc…lol we have ALL experience that! But now…some
um-teen years late..its time to make me one of my priorities…the question is
how?
..this isn’t anything new...I have been having
this conversation for years.....I have talked with other chicks....some of which
are like me...longing for “me” time & others seem to desire less “me time”
and more “we” time...lol....I have to say there is always one common
denominator....women...myself – BIG TIME....seem to have trouble even feeling
like we are worthy of being put on our own list...sad but true....I have blogged
about self worth...or should I say lack of self worth before.....I have to
wonder...do men have self worth and me..”guy” time issues???? We as
women...well most of us...seem to be awesome at project management in our work
lives and even family time & budgets...but when it comes our our personal
“me” time...seems like our boobies aren’t the only thing that drops. lol We
all need to recharge our batteries.....hehe...those ones too...just
saying....LOL.....if our battery fizzles out...so are we.
