Take time for you, too

That's my WFMW tip, or rather reminder, for today. When you're feeling overwhelmed or strung out, or just can't stand to hear one more whiny word, give yourself permission to take time off. Leave the children with your husband or another willing victim babysitter for the evening and head out the door.

If you're lucky, a girlfriend will be available. Even better, she'll have a great chick flick waiting. I recommend Hairspray, it worked wonders on my mood tonight, and watching it with a good friend was just what I needed to come home feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on the world again.

Even if a girlfriend isn't available, don't miss your chance. Grab your laptop or a good book and head out to your local coffee shop and just clear your head for a while.

Because you need it, and you're worth it.
