The 10 minutes I have every morning is very precious. It is the time where I have a little time to recharge myself: sipping on my coffee, munching on my breakfast and doing some check on my soc-med. 10 minutes seem short, still it is priceless.
After the birth of my son, I learnt to appreciate and accept my time. Especially the "me-times". It is not easy to find some escape from the daily mommy-wifey-teacher time, and if I could have some, even only for 5-10 minutes, it is already heaven.
And sometimes I really have to "escape" in the real word meaning. Try to find some "holes" in the schedule, maybe also to compress some appointment, so that I can have a little time to enjoy my tripple chocolate donut and a cup of cappucinno.
A friend of mine once said: the tips to have a balanced life between work and family is to be good to ourselves. Treat yourself well with good food, relaxing massage, beauty spa, buy some fancy clothes or whatever you think it could do you better. I already did some. It did do me good, but still sometimes the guilty feeling knocks on the conscience. Is it okay to leave my son at home while I have some window shopping in the mall? Is it okay if I sit in a cafe, finally have the time to read my book?
Moreover I think, better to have some short "me-time" and we come back with new energy and better mood, than give it up and be a cranky mom and evil wife all the time.
Again, life is a choice. Use both your heart and mind while choosing.
