you time

I keep hearing this is good for you but how do you make it happen for yourselves and what do you do?

I sure know my DH keeps making sure he has his time but I just feel like by the time I get everything done there isn't time for me.
Do we really need it or are guys the only ones that really need time to themselves?

My Mother once said to me "I don't need me time." I asked her, "What do you think you are doing while you are reading your book."

I have started running agian, that is my sanity saver.

you will go crazy and angry if you dont have 'you' time. Learnt that from personal experience. You totally just need something that is yours. weither its crafts or exercise or retail therapy.

I'm a big believer in ME time too

When C has his big nap I always take 10 minutes (at least haha) to come on here and check out the goss, catch up on FB and my emails. THEN I worry about chores and errands.

Every Tuesday night DH comes home early (for him) so that I can go out and play football. I have been wanting to do this since about August but didn't get organised till November. I made DH block out his work diary on Tuesday evenings so there are no "important" meetings that crop up and force me to let down my team as well.

We take turns to go out with our mates on our own, I went out on Saturday night for a bottle of wine with a couple of friends. DH played squash on Saturday afternoon while I took C to a birthday party.

I find if I plan things, and encourage DH to do things as well, then it seems to work out.

I have me time all the time. This year it was my once a fortnight trip to Feilding for band. A car trip down there, 2 hour practise, 1 hour talkinga nd catching up with people, then the car drive home again. I really enjoyed it. Now it is the evening DH works late once the boys are in bed it is my time.

Yep...Me time is good.

I was thinking I don't have much me time, not during the week so much but at least one weekend or maybe two I get out & go to my hobby which is dog showing.

This sat is the one this month, sucks that I have to leave at 6am & get back to a pigsty but the time out is good. Can't wait to the sun in the bay

I have "me" time around 3 times a week...when I go to the gym after DH gets home from work. Sometimes I also disappear on a Saturday for a few hours just to go and have a nosy around the shops, get the things we need that I haven't been able to get out and get through the week, that kind of thing. DH has drinks at work every Friday night, or rides the stationery bike here at home and we also go to speedway by ourselves, so our time is pretty well organised. It means that we have a time to take deep breaths and just relax a little.

Completely know what you mean! It was exactly the same here for a while I just had to figure out what i wanted to do, and then get proactive about it.
Good luck!

i agree with everyone else..at first( i think it was the PND thing) i didnt want to leave Ethan and worried when i was gone..but now i go off shopping or just chilling whenever i want in the weekend and I make sure DH has some time too.. we are both free to go out at night whenever we want though we dont go out together hardly at all..

i felt guilty for a long time but I don't now:) now i am way more preg my wonderful mother has got someone to clean 2-3 hours a week on a friday for me too which is awesome(esp cause i suck at housework)

but yeah Dh and I sat and talking about having some time out and he tends to spend his in the garage and likes spending the rest of the time with Ethan and so it works quite well:)
