I don't think that taking time for yourself is selfish. But I do think that some of us might feel like it is. The other weekend, my dh surprised me with an overnight trip out of town. I was really excited, but I just hated to leave the girls overnight. I'm with them everyday all day, so while you think I would be ready to hand them over, I felt a little selfish.
But I have to tell you, I needed that get away more than I knew. I haven't been that relaxed in I can't remember when.

I know mommies strive really hard to give everything of themselves to their children, but you have to refuel sometimes.
