Raising a child with special needs is not always easy. There are many days when I literally crawl into the bed and fall asleep as my head hits the pillow…and there are nights that I lay in bed thinking and worrying about all the things that Jaxon isn’t or should be doing. I wonder daily if there is anything I could do better or different to make his recovery a better/quicker process and I wonder every other minute what the next minute will bring. Honestly, there isn't a minute of my day that I am not thinking about one or the other of my boys!
All this thinking, worrying, and lack of sleep can do a lot of damage on your stress level, your family functioning, and your happiness. There is only one solution to this….GET OUT WITH THE GIRLS once in a while. Getting out of the house and getting out of “mommy mode” can do wonders for you! Once a month all the wives in the neighborhood get together and play Bunco! We do a lot of talking, a lot of snacking, a “little” drinking, and play a little Bunco…its great!
Whether you can get out with friends, neighbors, or by yourself, I highly recommend you get out a few times a month (or more if you can) and spend some time relaxing, recharging, and enjoying yourself and who you are as a woman and not a mother!
