Yesterday, when I was driving to meet my friend for drinks, I was wondering why I felt unethusiatic about seeing her like I was pissed at her or something. It was like I wanted to turn around and go home and I was puzzled because my friend didnt do anything.
I realized why...I havent had "me" time at all over this summer especially in the past week. Like last week, for example, on Thursday, I worked at my summer teaching job, then my son and I went to my friend's for a sleepover (him with her son...and me with my girlfriends), then on Friday, we all went to Ocean City for the day and one of my girlfriends stayed overnight. On Sat, my hubby and I took her car shopping alll day. Then on Sunday, I joined my brother's girlfriend to look at houses. On Monday, I was so busy going to the MVA to get tags and then trading my SUV in, and then my brother came over. Yesterday, I had a 3 hour hiring interview from my new job and my other friend got hired too so we went out for lunch afterwards. Then when I got home, I drove my brother to drop his truck off at the shop and then hung out with my brother until I was ready to leave to meet my friend for drinks last night.
Tonight, I am going dancing with friends because 2 of them are in town from California.
I am really stretching myself too thin. Even on Thursday, I have training for 4 hours with my new job.
It looks like I have nothing planned for Friday so I should make Friday a day for myself.
Last summer wasnt like this. I totally focused on myself and my health hence losing 30 lbs. I thought I would do that again this summer...nope it didnt and I didnt realize that until last night while on the way to meet my friend.
Yes, I love getting together with friends and family but not having time for "me time" is not good at all. I totally neglected myself this summer. wow..
Still got 2 more weeks before I return to work so I better stop with all the get togehters until then.
