I just got in from my Saturday morning workout -- mowing the lawn! I enjoy the exercise, but I enjoy the uninterrupted 1 1/2 hour break from my children even more. Drew and Gracie enjoy playing with their Daddy while I'm outside mowing, and it is the only time during the week that I can count on to have time entirely to myself.
Most stay-at-home moms can probably relate to the feeling of being "on-the-job" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One time I compared it to living at my place of employment; getting no evenings, weekends, sick days or holidays off; and being required to take one or two "co-workers" (a.k.a. the children) with me any time I wanted to leave.
I need a break sometimes, but I tend to feel guilty about saying that. At least when I'm out for my "Saturday morning workout" I get a break, get exercise, and get the lawn mowed -- all at the same time!
