The best thing I did for myself was, I suppose, a bit selfish. Once Aaron was 6 months old, I put then in a Mother's Day out program once a week. From 9 am to 3 pm on Tuesdays I was free, and I did whatever I wanted (or needed) to do, which ranged from going to the market to getting a pedicure (which I still maintain is cheaper than therapy - everyone should get them). So much of you is wrapped up in them at this age that it's easy to lose yourself. So take a bubble bath, relax, remember to breathe, and that this is a very short season of life. It will be over before you know it and pretty soon they'll be feeding themselves breakfast and you'll wake up pleasantly rested at 9 am thinking, Wow, I've got self-sufficient children!

If all else fails, I'm here to listen. ;)
