Mothering all five!

Is there a time when you just let go. I wonder if my mother had to teach herself to slowly let go of all the mothering aspects of me. As we now know mothering is ever changing and we must roll with it or fall over if we don't keep up. Another school year has begun with little enthusiasm for school, interests always seem to lay elswhere. Scattered boys and young men, turning corners faster than their minds (or maybe its me) can keep up. I expect another year of deep thought, boy questions and perhaps a better understanding of where my mothering will start and end!

Being Alone!

Do we need time alone?

What does that look like to you? Can you be alone?

I'm wondering if its healthy to have alone time? I think I would really enjoy it but when it boils down to it could I actually do it. One hour a day alone with no children no husband no phones and omgosh no computer. Could it impact my health enough that it would be worth while and how do I do this without a long term investment?
Well this project already seems to have too many questions and not enough answers. Well lets see can I put an extra hour in my day? Yes Of course it will mean getting up before everyone, and leaving the laptop off hmmmmm.

Ok I'll try for a week and see if I "feel" the health benefits. It will all begin tomorrow and PS I won't tell the family because they already think I'm weird!! Updates will follow.
