Need some ideas/suggestions/advice regarding ME time

I work Monday thru Friday
DH worked Tuesday thru Saturday
Troy goes to daycaer Monday thru Friday

That leaves my only "free" day as Sunday and DH's "free" day is Mondays. We have been talking and deciede that we'll try and do 1/2 day me and 1/2 day for the family.

My issue is . . . what do I want to do?? I NEED this time, but don't know what to do?? I mean really don't want to get a pedicure every week (too much $$).

Suggestions??

TIA

Hmm, if it were me, I'd probably get a newspaper or book and go to Starbucks and get a cup of coffee and hang out and read there....

This is a good thread because my husband keeps telling me go out, but I don't have anywhere to go!! I'm not going to just wander around. I guess with the holidays coming up maybe some christmas shopping.

Breakfast/lunch with friends. For me, ME time is doing something that makes me happy- and aside from my family, my friends make me happy.

I love a stroller free run

About once a month, I go on a sunday brunch with a group of ladies.

I agree with Diana...sometimes I set Josh up with an activity in living room, lunch for later, and tell him and Leo goodbye. I take my netflix pic to bed and have the best 2.5 hours.Chat Icon
