I'm a stay at home mom. So right now with the kids out of school, I literally get no alone time. Once they go back, I will have the days mostly to myself.

When I exercise I do, so thats every day. My husband works shift so those evenings he isn't around, I get alone time!

I CAN'T do this on my own, I fight this battle only with God's strength.

All things work together for the good of those that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

I am learning not to depend on myself but to lean on God and trust that what He says is true!!

I get about an hour to myself daily not always at the same time. I always feel better though after I get that hour in of just taking care of me, whether it's exercising, sparking, or just getting some things done around the house.

Unfortunately, I spend most of my time alone. In all honesty, it is not all it is cracked up to be. I get lonely and depressed and eat way too much.

I seldom get time alone during the normal course of the day. However, I got time alone after the kids are in bed - after 9 pm.

All things work together for good!
