[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 220458"] When my kids were younger and I was working, I needed 10 uninterrupted minutes after we got home to change clothes, pee and switch gears from employee to mom. If I didn't get that 10 minutes, it set the tone for the rest of the night. When the kids were younger than that, I did a bubble bath by candlelight with soothing music a couple times a week. (by the way, cellulite doesn't show up by candlelight. If they lit changing rooms that way, stores would sell a lot more. :raspberry-tounge:) Then, before I became so ill, I'd go out with girlfriends usually once a week. We always went to the same restaurant where they knew us and we'd just relax. They came to know us so well that they let us stay after they closed (everything closes early in this town - except for the bars, of course) because the manager was there working for hours after closing. Now, I don't get so much me time. And I'm sure the members that read my posts week before last could tell. I finally went to my grandmother's for two days to get a break and it made all the difference in the world. I didn't even do anything special. I just got away from all the demands on me. I'm still trying to find something that I can do on a regular basis that is just for me. With me not working and difficult child 'homeschooling', I need to find some me time more often. [/QUOTE]
