30 minutes. That's all I ask. I would like 30 minutes a day to go for a walk by myself. 30 minutes to sit in peace and quiet. 30 minutes to read a book, surf the web...30 minutes to not have a child attached to me or crying and everyone looking at me to make it stop. 30 minutes. I NEED 30 minutes. It's all I ask.
I will take the other 23 hours and 30 minutes of the day to take complete care of the kids, clean the house, make dinner, do the laundry, and anything else that may need to be done for the day. But please understand that although I am a mother and a wife, I am also a woman, a person who needs time to be herself and focus on herself. So when I ask for my 30 minutes, please don't frown at me or make a rude comment. Try to understand that I know you, too, are busy and tired and need time for yourself - but it is all I am asking for.
