After a nasty divorce, Diane of Illinois, vowed to be a role model for her young daughter. She wanted her daughter to see her as a strong and independent woman. "It is important for daughters to see their mothers as strong women," Diane said. She currently works part time as a teacher's aide at an elementary school.
Busymom: Please introduce yourself.
Diane: I am a newly divorced mother. I am slowly getting on my feet again. I now work as a teacher's aide at an elementary school. I also spend valuable time with my daughter who attends kindergarten.
Busymom: You are now the head of your household. You have more tasks to do than ever. Do you find a balance, and if so how?
Diane: I try to multi-task. I also use a day planner to write everything that must be done now or in the near future. I also write down appointments and other activities. Do I find a balance? That is a tough question to answer. Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed because of so many things to do. However, I have learned not to sweat the small stuff--which has made me feel a bit better. Although, my daughter is only in kindergarten, I include her in some of my tasks.
Busymom: How do you take care of yourself?
Diane: Well, I love candles. Not only do they have a beautiful scent, they are soothing and relaxing. Sometimes, I will use a shower gel as a treat. I definitely could not live without my day planner because my mind feels less cluttered.
Busymom: What kind of advice would you like to give to a busy mom?
Diane: Spend lots of time with your own children because sometimes circumstances may not allow it.
Busymom: Thank you for your time, Diane!
