Finding me time when you homeschool?

I do not homeschool my kids, but I can relate to having a hard time finding time for myself. My kids all have ADHD, so I can understand the time it can take to help them each learn. All of my kids learn in different ways and it takes a lot of time and patience just to get them through their homework some days. In addition, I live a very busy life that is revolved around my entire family and all if their needs...which I put before my own all of the time. My solution has been to wait until the kids go to bed at night, which is by 9:30 p.m. if I can help it, then take no more than 30 minutes to finish up what I need to do before taking 30 to 60 minutes to just relax and get my mind off of the daily grind. I couldn't tell you the last time that I went out for dinner or anything like that, but I don't feel that I need to do that since I have learned to take that hour before going to sleep each night to do something that I enjoy doing. I don't know if this will help you at all, but another thing that has helped both my husband and myself has been for each of us to give the other one day on the weekend to sleep in as long as we want. He gets to sleep in on Saturday and I get Sunday. We not only get to sleep in, we also get up out of bed at our own pace with no expectations as to what time we should be up. Having one day to sleep in gives me something to look forward to each week. So, no matter how stressful the week has been, I know that I have one day coming up that I do not have to get up with the alarm.

how about including "me time" in your list of priorities? it's really important to have some time to yourself to recuperate. try to insert a regular "me time" in your daily schedule :)
