In 1987 I got divorced. My kids were 3 and 5. The first weekend their Dad took them for visitation, I all of a sudden realized, I had the weekend, all to myself. What will I do? Well it was a very boring weekend. In the first hour I polished my finger nails and toes nails, because as a Mom you can't do that, as you need to be ready at a moments notice to wipe a nose or get food ready or when they are babies change a diaper. Next I read a magazine and watched TV. I really missed Jewels and BJ. My whole life was just them... I was a Mom. Yes I sewed some too...I am sure it was something for them. I really didn't know how to take time for me...
Eventually I learned how to take time for me. I would call it "Minutes for Me"! So that is why May for Me (for You) is so important -- Take time for you!
In 1987 I was 29 years old. When I look at this photo I think how young I looked! WOW!
In honor of Mother's Day this is one of my favorite photos of Jewels, BJ, and Me. It was our Wedding Party Day. Ritch and I had got married in Vegas two weeks before the party. 1992
Thanks for letting me share my thoughts and photos.
