Last night I was not successful at making time for myself. My three year old refused to go to sleep. He has had a hard time adjusting to my dh being gone. Which in turn has taken my focus off of myself, since I am worried about him adjusting.
I never imagined how hard it would be without my husband here. I took care of so much, I sometimes felt like I did it all anyway. Since he left for AIT, I feel like I lost the huge support that he gave me. My dh is always there to keep me and the kids calm. Now I am learning on how to do it on my own.
Somewhere in there I have to find time for myself. Which boggles my mind! As a new Army wife, I have taken the position of juggler in my crazy circus of a life. So I am taking it one small step at a time.
Here is to juggling, hope I don't drop anything :)

My then two-year-old had a rough time in the beginning too. Bedtime was a Daddy thing. It will get better. He goes to sleep between 730 and 830 now depending on how his day was. The time when my kids are asleep is golden time. You'll get there. One thing that was hard for me but necessary was being firm on it. I didn't bend (with the exception of two or three very obviously "I want my daddy" times). Give it time, be firm, and you will eventually get your "you time". And you know how vital that is!! : )
