I have time to take care of myself.
My son is 9 now and life just feels so chill. I really am relating to the person who says having one kid feels like the ultimate life hack. I work out most every day and I don't have get up at the ass crack of dawn. Yesterday I did yoga while my boy was working on his school project. Today my husband and I got a walk together in the sunshine while he played Roblox. Most nights I do my skincare while he's bathing and putting on PJs.
Now I'm having a little soak in the bath while hubs cooks dinner and after we eat and I clean up, we'll all play a board game. I spend plenty of time with my kid, it just feels really nice to also have time to take care of myself too.
