It is timely advice, I also love my bed and sleeping but have been very undisciplined lately - and the cracks are starting to appear (in both my face and my actions!!). So thanks for the kick up the bum I needed. My weaknesses are FB and TV, both of which I have had to self-impose bans on this week. Well maybe not bans - but strict limitations!!<br /><br />Look forward to reading your next blog.<br /><br />xx<br />CMrs Lettucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07244064809868867664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399105551382451067.post-11439742095329423572011-08-12T19:29:27.110+08:002011-08-12T19:29:27.110+08:00That's so true Mum, I do look forward to my we...That's so true Mum, I do look forward to my weekends and cherish the limited time I have at home. I guess if I was home all day I might not enjoy those 'tedious' tasks as much (ie cooking and gardening). <br /><br />You got the comments working, yay! xoxPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598892582207477663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399105551382451067.post-53872391179019066312011-08-12T19:25:26.500+08:002011-08-12T19:25:26.500+08:00Cherie, saying no to invitations isn't easy, I...Cherie, saying no to invitations isn't easy, I agree. And asking for help is even harder! I am still amazed at the generosity of some people, and once I have asked for help I often find they then offer. Heart melting stuff!<br /><br />@ Faith - thank you. Often we do ourselves (and our loved ones) more harm by not taking that break. My truth is I need my sleep. No question.

It gave me an income to do things I wanted to do(like spoiling my daughter)or making improvements to my home, getting nice things for myself. Working outside my own home also made me look forward to the days off when I could plan things to do on those days and I seemed to appreciate the accomplishments I made on those day.

And you're right, the key...A wonderful guide!!<br /><br />And you're right, the key ingredient really is sleep! <br /><br />Something I think I need to take from this is being able to say no to invitations. We get so many (without sounding conceited or popular), and sometimes, all I want to do is crawl into bed at 8.30pm on a Friday night, haha. But I feel guilty for declining invitations. And then I feel guilty for messing up Max's routine by going out socializing. So I think there needs to be a better rate of declining invitations in the baby called max residence :)<br /><br />Also, asking for help ... What a skill! So many women need to learn it! I am one of them, and think I always will be :) <br /><br />I just love your blog xxCherie @ 'a baby called Max'https://www.blogger.com/profile/04659789458460830707noreply@blogger.com
