I am finding it very challenging to take the time to take care of me. I work 3 days a week at the kids school and I love it! But I am starting to think about taking it easy instead of spreading myself thin not to mention the germs at school. Although I know I can get germs anywhere. But, after being in the hospital and iv antibiotics it makes me reevaluate my schedule and how can I improve my health. I exercise only 1 day a week b/c of my work and my husbands work. Not to mention my boys are involved in things which takes up my time. I just keep going like the energizer bunny but my batteries are starting to deplete.

It is very hard to find time for yourself. Especially when dealing with children with CF or any other type of illness. I have been finding this out the hard way myself. I can't imagine going back into the work force after being home now with a cfer and a 2 1/2 year old with other problems. We just need to learn that we are important too and take the time. I know easier said than done. LOL!

Do I understand your signature correctly? YOU have CF AND your 2 boys have CF?

IF this is true.....no wonder you are having battery problems!

HUGS!

oh i hear you-wow what a load you have to deal with. what a great mom u sound like-you are really trying to work hard for your boys and family. like all moms u face the 'no "me" time' dilemma. the only problem is that we moms w cf need time for ourselves-its not a luxury, its a necessity. u need to consider it part of your parenting, of what makes u a good mom. if you keep yourself healthy and do your part, you are here for the boys more.

I suggest u post this at the pregnancy section too-i know its not related to pregnancy, but there are alot of moms w cf there talking and many of them only visit that section of the site.

wanted to add-
do the boys have a nice grandma, aunt or uncle that they could stay with for a week so you and dh can go away together? maybe all you need is a week alone relaxing to reflect and to regroup mentally. recharge your batteries and set a game plan/therapy schedule? again-its not a luxury, at this point a small break sounds like a necessity.
