Summer is busy. As a mom summer is great but as one friend has put it, it's child intensive! Now that is the understatement of the year! Filling the baby pool, carpooling, swim lessons, t ball practice and games and the list goes on. And on! Mom, you need some girlfriend time!
It won't happen unless it is on your calendar. Send some texts to a few friends and start trying to get some workable dates for July. That's what you can do with all that extra time sitting in a parking lot while you are waiting on your child to come out from the Y day camp. You may feel like you needed this 3 weeks ago. You may think, "I'm doing ok. I will just wait until school starts." DON'T DO IT! You will need some girlfriend time before then. Don't wait until you are totally"spent,". Schedule it before you need it. Everyone will benefit from this proactive approach!
- YOU
- Your Husband
- Your Children
- Your girlfriends who need to get a break too!
You will be so glad that you sent those texts and so will everyone else!
