We all need some me time….
Family life can sometimes feel like a performance in a circus. You juggle your responsibilities to your partner, your children, your family, your friends, your career, and your community involvement all the while trying to appear as an entirely sane and calm individual, yearning for that extra hour in the day to fit everything in! Women are left constantly scrutinizing their choices…. should I return to work or not? How is best to facilitate a resolve to a disagreement? Do I follow my gut instinct or the advise of others? A lingering sense of uncertainty surrounds every choice made. Commonly working mothers feel on the rare occasion that you have some extra minutes in the day this time should be utilised with catching up on household chores or spending those precious extra minutes with your children. However the English idiom of “burning the candle at both ends” springs to mind. To deal with the stresses of everyday life it is important to steal away some “me time” to recharge your batteries for next onslaught. 
The Oxford dictionary defines “me time” as: “Time spent relaxing on one’s own as opposed to working or doing things for others, seen as an opportunity to reduce stress or restore energy”. …Sounds essential doesn’t it? Luxury-spa-breaks.com has an array of relaxing and revitalizing short spa breaks and/or spa days that just may be what the doctor ordered! Just imagine how sane and calm you would return to your family and responsibilities after a nice relaxing message and a revitalising break at a wonderful spa – discover more about the range available here.

Here here. Reminds me of a few conversations we’ve had recently. I’m definitely slowly learning to ease off a bit now with work commitments.
I would love a Spa day or just any me time actually, it very rarely happens!
