not think about extra things to do for yourself

change your way of thinking about the things you already do

start to think of your daughter and you as a unit...he may come back later, he might not...you and your daughter are your unit NOW

so

instead of focusing thinking time wondering ifhe will notice this or call for that or how he like the sheets to smell or whatever....start putting the focus on you and your family unit

you like the smell of bounce but used whatever because he liked it
change it to what you like

rediscover who you are

LSS left
I had two smallish boys at home
3 jobs
no freetime

but I still found time to wonder and hope and nag and cry and whatever

that time was much better spent when I started writing letters to friends, painting, reading books for my pleasure...not to figure out my love language or whatever (although those books are good)

I remembered stuff I had lost about myself

it's not extra time
it's restructured time
