Taking time for yourself is important when you're a busy parent managing a chronic condition.
Today is Mother’s Day, so I sleep in as much as possible. I typically wake up early to get my kids ready for school, so this is a small luxury.My husband shares the gifts he got for me at breakfast. This year I received a gift card for a massage, which I’ve always wanted to try but would never purchase for myself. Just a few short years ago, I never would have felt comfortable being topless around a massage therapist who would see my H.S. lesions.
, and my mind is always racing with a list of things I need to do for my family, for my job, and for my volunteer work. I find that reading or listening to audiobooks provides a break from focusing on my stress.I wake up, make my bed, and take my first shower of the day. My shower routine revolves around H.S. management. I use inexpensive antibacterial hand soap to wash areas where I typically get flare-ups.
At dinner we play a game called Roses, Thorns, and Buds, which is how we learn about everyone’s day. We each share a rose, which is our favorite thing that happened; a thorn, or our least favorite thing that happened; and a bud, which is something we plan or hope to do.It’s a nice evening, so I take a walk around my neighborhood after dinner. I always invite my husband and kids along, but no one joins me tonight. I use the time to catch up on my audiobook.
