[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 58624, member: 1697"] Hmm what do I do? Um, LOL- I am not sure I get much "me" time, with husband and the kids, but- I do steal time for long hot baths with a book or magazine. Becuz there are 5 of us and only 1 bathroom, I dare not lock the door, and so everyone always finds me anyway and they come and go with their difficulties, LOL. I have been known to "kidnap" one of my kids here and there and pirate them off to destination unknown for several hours (or even on occasion overnite) and subject them to ME. LOL. So- while I consider it "me" time, it is spent with one of the kids. I like to cook, so cooking can be considered "me" time, I guess? and I like to mow the lawn these days- so- I consider that "me time" of a sort, as well. Problem is if anyone needs something when I am mowing, my mower will not re start if I turn it off to hear them. (not for several hours anyway) so the kids and husband do not really understand that sometimes I go mow just to get away, LOL. (ROFL, I always justify my long bath as soaking my poor ole body and mowing becuz gosh the lawn needs it, LOL and hey it is "THERAPY" AND "EXERCISE" lol. mY husband and kids love jigsaw puzzle3s and they also love sudoku, but not me, I cannot be still that long. even when I was sick and bedridden, I could not do them.
