Time off for Grammy…
Okay… it’s about me today. Because sometimes and lately it’s more than some, I need time only for me. I need quiet! I need guilt-free, do nothing, see nobody and talk to no one time. “No, I don’t know where you put your blue sweater.” “You want me to pick up, what?” “Not to worry honey, I know your time is way more important than mine.” Geeezzzz! Hey, I’ll admit it - my “here to please” attitude is self-induced; and most of the time I like it. I am, after all, a child of the 50’s and 60’s. Donna Reed or June Cleaver could have been my mom. Well, guess what HONEY… I have a life, and my “selfish” button just turned on. Don’t get me wrong, I love my husband. I love my kids. And I certainly love my grandchildren. But, there are times I need to love me a little more. So, if once in a while I say, “no I can’t do that for you” don’t take offence. It’s a “me” day, or maybe two, and maybe even a week. And I’m going to take it!
