I struggle with taking time to myself - I felt guilty going for my massage last weekend!! Talk about being conflicted ha. But it IS such a priority to keep myself sane - standing under the hot water for a few extra minutes is definitely one of my escapes too!TheAdventuresofBugandBoohttp://www.adventuresofbugandboo.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199023664293695817.post-21346291783122676482015-02-25T09:24:22.710-05:002015-02-25T09:24:22.710-05:00I'm not a momma but I love to take hot showers...I'm not a momma but I love to take hot showers!

Ever since I moved in with Philip, he likes to join me in the shower. While I love spending time with him and I do like this sometimes, our shower is quite small and I take a bit longer to shower than he does. So when I get the chance to get in there alone, it's amazing. I can really take my time and stand under the water for as long as I want.Amanda Nicole | Knock on Woodhttp://www.knockonwoodblog.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199023664293695817.post-28608970328524547522015-02-25T09:24:10.707-05:002015-02-25T09:24:10.707-05:00I totally agree with you, Whitney.

The guilt issues, the relinquishing of control...all things that weigh in on our hearts and minds. We have to learn though that without a break we aren't good to ourselves or those around us.
