Moms need beauty rest more!

Ok ladies, sometimes we get overwhelmingly busy with our home life, and after being up two days straight with a sick toddler, dealing with your teens defiance when it comes to studying for that up coming math test, showing your significant other for the umpteenth time where you keep the stapler, and cleaning that sticky unknown substance out of the bathroom drain (again), the last thing on your mind is your actual physical well being.

Moms have an uncanny ability to start running straight off a form of auto pilot, going through the motions expected and demanded with little to any thought about ourselves. I swear its literally running straight off love, and need because even as we are going through it, we are wishing all sorts of creative ways to just end the expectation, and sleep for a month!

I don’t think woman get that self maintenance is just as, if not more important than even house maintenance because without a little self love here and there, you start forgetting things that need to be done, or getting short, and easily frazzled with everything going on around you. Honestly, if it goes too long and there is no end in sight, you can even become incredibly depressed, even getting resentful of your situation you used to absolutely love.
Woman also tend to not know how to be assertive enough to tell a partner, or even a friend or family member that they are in some serious need of some peace for a bit to do for them. We as woman feel guilty asking because societies expectation for us is to be comfortable and even happy in these roles without having anything to complain about. Even going as far as to say a women who cant handle it is broken or messed up in some way or form.
Girls! This image needs shattering! It is 100% absolutely ok to reach out, and say I NEED SOME ME TIME!

If people in your life are supportive you can even explain why your feeling the way you are if that’s what your comfortable with, because in the end, you are the example for your children, the one in the lime light for then all day every day and if you are not at your best, then all of you suffer because you aren’t at 100% and they don’t get the full epicness that is you! So reach out! It is healthy both mentally and physically to fulfill this need for you and your family! Go get your hair done, maybe your nails, hit the library, or sit in complete silence in the park. Just be sure not to fall asleep getting to comfy with it in public.
