Love this post - a brea...I'm here from ICLW :)<br /><br />Love this post - a break definitely makes a positive difference around here, too. I find myself wanting to spend more time with my boys when I've had time to be "me" away from them. <br /><br />There's always a balance to be found with caring for our kids and caring for ourselves. Sounds like you manage it well :)<br /><br />KateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976984250943053065.post-21438736674302637542010-11-14T23:35:30.055-05:002010-11-14T23:35:30.055-05:00I am SUCH a better mom when I get time to myself. ...I am SUCH a better mom when I get time to myself.

I found that I was getting way more frustrated with them than I wanted to, and didn't like the way I was acting around them. So I went back to work two days a week, and for the most part that's exactly the break I need. Except for this two stuff, I'd just like to fast forward about six months! (There are some super sweet moments too, but the crazies come out more often that I can deal with some days).Nicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391676406311335476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976984250943053065.post-17936677363038973722010-11-13T08:32:26.157-05:002010-11-13T08:32:26.157-05:00JJ, you can look on Care.com.

Lots of filtering options. <br /><br />We found our sitter via another friend's nanny. So first, get the word out that you're looking. All the nannies/sitters know each other, so first hand recommendations is the way to go. <br /><br />Hope you get a nice break soon!Flucky Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190644424045109661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976984250943053065.post-81578156288634508492010-11-12T16:18:05.828-05:002010-11-12T16:18:05.828-05:00I totally love this post--cause I get it.

I have felt guilty when I want to have Oman spend the weekend with my parents or in laws--but the break has always been good for everyone--and I am so excited to see him again. Also important to reconnect with my hubby!<br /><br />Also, any tips on finding a babysitter? I have Oman in preschool--but havent had luck finding a babysitter--and do you mind talking price with me? You can email me if you have some time to chat about it--thanks! reprojeans at gmail dot comJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027548058304720360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5976984250943053065.post-8487779812039466452010-11-11T17:46:53.970-05:002010-11-11T17:46:53.970-05:00Hi Calita, I'm glad the posts spoke to you.

I'm a new reader but your last two posts ...Hi!!<br />I'm a new reader but your last two posts really resonate with me right now. Sometimes it is just too much and we really need support of all kinds - and breaks - and to remember that there is a real person behind the mom who needs to be cultivated a bit- oh yeah, and to get out of the mom clothes every once in a while. I'm so happy that you got away for a bit. I'm hoping to figure out a way to get one for myself soon.Carlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08241270709846255022noreply@blogger.com
