Me Time

I feel like and empty Nester at this time with the kids on vacation. What do empty Nester's do once the children leave home? Especially when we have made the children priority in are lives. Are days started with making sure they are fine and ready for the day it then ended with all task completed before putting them to bed to start all over again. Sneaking in bits of time here and there for are selves. Letting hobby’s, friends, and at time funds slip away from us. It happens so quickly that sometime we miss some of the pieces of are selves that we have lost. 

I am claiming bits and pieces of myself slowly. Making myself and needs a priority enjoying my life. OK so I say that know while they are enjoying a great vacation being spoiled rotten by the grandparents. I refuse to loose all of me again to the children I can’t live like that. I need to continue to just enjoy myself and the little things that I enjoy. I have started the reconnection process with old friends by simply reaching out with a card. Bring order to my life by cleaning out things that I have not used in 6 months if I haven’t used it in that long then I do not need it. Taking myself out on a date, picking out what I want to eat and just enjoy my own company. Honestly I may not be ready to be an empty Nester but I am enjoying spending my time the way I want without noise. I plan on taking at least one day a month just for me, keeping in touch with friends and just enjoying me time without the kids. They will be just fine with a little separation time!
