We all need to get back our sanity, our needs to recoup from life of work, children, hubby whatever so here is an idea that I came up with. Recouping after a hard week of just everything how about having a day at the spa? We need take time off for ourself's something we women seldom do - We take care of the house, take care of the children, take care of the sponses, work and if we have any free time, pick up the laundry, we go grocery shopping, become the neighborhood taxi, pick up and drop off at various after school activities, fold the laundry, make the beds, putter in the garden, go to after-school meetings and a number of church activities. If we are lucky, our day ends at Midnight to start over again at 6 am the next day. Which means there is no time for mom.--
Well ladies after all that I have an idea...

Your favorite beverage - I will leave it at that.
Do make sure all this in is your favorite fragrance not his or anyone else.
Number one thing is to remember warn the rest of the family that your not at home, even just lock the bedroom/bathroom door and do not disturb sign to it. Think of it this way, the last time you where out with your girlfriends and you saw that one pair of shoes you been wanting just didn't get for somereason or another?
Everyone of your friends would have told you right then and there
Girlfriend You are Worth those! You Deserve It!
Ahh I see I am not the only one with a pair of shoes got that way. :)
Now here is what you do with all those goodies you got for your day at home. Before you start your day, TURN OFF THE PHONES! Cells too, you are not to be disturb unless someone is at dealth door and that means for real not cause the child fell down and bump their knee.
Fill your tub, while its filling, add your bath salts or oils, bubble bath, bath milks whatever your choice of moisturizing softness in your tub may be. Before climbing in to that tub put a deep healing moisturizing conditioner in your hair and cover it with a towel. Lower the lights light your candle, start your music, blow a kiss at the door and slide into the tub.
The rest of the world be forgotten as the moisturizing bath takes the world away. Scrub your toes and nails we want to be painting them later. If lucky enough to have a shower and a tub together you can stand up and scrub your body with your sugar body scrubs washing in out then fill the tub the choice ladies is yours to do. After the water cools, Rinse the conditioner out of your hair, be careful of the ends.
Rinse off but be gentle drying your skin, lather on your moisturizing body butters or favorite lotion. Later on in the day after your toes and finger nails have had time to dry throughly, take care of your nails filing/what not, then paint them in the color of your choice. If you had let your girlfriends know ahead of time of this day, Call them them all. For what? Well its time to go Shopping! For What? You don't Know Till You Get There!! Now that you have had had your day at the Home Spa, Feeling Refresh and Relaxed you can handle again with a smile everything your busy life has you handling, till the next time You Pencil in A Day A The Home Spa!

A Day At Home
We all know how important it is to work hard to get your home business up and running and off the ground. We also know that when your home business is located right in your home, it is all too easy to get a few extra hours of work in after you eat dinner, or to get up early to work a little bit more in the morning.
However, the fact remains that most of the people who are working at home businesses have decided to do this so that they can control what hours they work, and so that they can have more time to themselves to do the things that they have always wanted to do. If you find yourself working too much, and you know that you are in danger of working longer hours than you did at your old job, here are some ways to avoid becoming a 24 hour a day worker again.
Hours
First and foremost, no matter what your business is, you need to have working hours. This is for your benefit. If you have an online site or an online store, you are going to be open 24 hours a day, but this doesn't mean that you have to be at your computer for the entire day. You need to set hours for yourself, and these hours will have to include time to process whatever has come in while you aren't working. There is a danger in sitting at your computer all day to take orders in the hopes of keeping up with them, because you will find that you never leave.
If you find that you have too much work, and not enough time, this means that you are taking on too much. You have to be sure that you are only working as much as you can handle to work, or that you are delegating tasks to make sure you aren't having to work all day and all night. This is something that a lot of people fail to do, and it can be something that is very dangerous, because giving out tasks is the best way to make sure all of your work gets done. If you find yourself with too much, you'll end up working more than you want to be working, so be sure to find help, or hire some if you need it.
Something else that you can be sure to do is to give yourself a break now and then. Remember that you don't have to take every project that comes your way, and remember that you can be allowed a sick day when you are sick. These things are important, and are also vital to keeping your sanity as well as your business.
Technology
Is there an automated way to delegate parts of your daily home business tasks? If there is, you might want to take the initial investment of time to find out how they work and how you can use technology to free up more time for yourself instead of working on your home business. You can even use the extra time to expand your business or look for new ways to make it profitable.
If your home business is based online there are many companies who you can use to outsource some of your responsibilities. Obviously these options aren't free so if your budget doesn't allow for it at the current time, keep a reminder of the source so that you can use it when more funds become available.
