Time out. I heard this phrase a few times yesterday told to our 4-year-old neice. I thought to myself, "time out." I could use a time out. And that is exactly what I did. I placed myself into time out. I seem to constantly be on the move or doing something. It's usually not something I want to be doing, but have to be doing. So last night after a day of activity-after-activity we came home, ate dinner, got ready for bed and I placed myself in time out. I am finally "caught up" on one of my favorite t.v. shows. Two months worth of DVR recordings. Although it was not my ideal time out (100% uninterupted), I still took it. I didn't move until I was ready regardless of the few distractions and unmentioned family members trying to pull me away from my time out. This is one "kid" who wanted to be in time out. I think I need more time outs. It will be something new for me to try to master. A tool to clear my brain and put my mind into a new place. Ahhhh....time out. Why didn't I do this sooner.

- I'm a work-at-home mom of two beautiful daughters, ages three and six. I'm also a wife to a man I've known for 25 years, dated for 6 and married to for 13 in June. I keep very busy with all of the above and figured why not add another hobby/task to the list: Blogging.
I need time outs too. Time out from school, cooking, cleaning, and from just thinking about those things.
