My husband often takes the boys for a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday and does something with them, and I now use those few hours to read or watch a movie that I want to watch. I used to use that time to clean or do laundry, and decided that was effective, but it wasn't calming. There are weeks I really look forward to those few hours!for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28021129.post-40063982556850404222009-01-23T16:13:00.000-06:002009-01-23T16:13:00.000-06:00The one year mark does seem to be the magic number...The one year mark does seem to be the magic number.
