with kids home for summer vaca - when do you find YOUR time?

[newholiday]

Thought Id be up later at night and sleep an hr later in the mornings - not happening. Still up at 6 - today was before 5am!
Got out and took my walk at 630 - then a friend brought me a coffee & muffin and we took time for ourselves while our kids slept.
Dont need to be at work till 930am (except Weds is 1230) - think I may keep this time for myself - hopefully DS will continue sleeping in whenever possible.

So when do you find your time?

When they go back to school in the fall

No, just kidding. I know it's harder to find time for yourself with the kids home all the time. Sometimes it's just impossible. I remember during the school year our two went to bed at 8:00 when they were real young, but in the summer it's hard to make them go to bed so early, when the sun is still shining high in the sky. But at least by 9:00 or 9:30 they would be in bed and I truly treasured that hour or so to myself before going to bed. That was "my time."

My time? What's that?

I go to work 2 days a week. We've also been trading older DS back and forth with his friend quite a bit this summer. One week DS went there for 4 weekdays. 2 weeks later his friend came here for 5 days.

There's not very much of it!

I work full time and am a single mom so "my time" is always the same and doesn't change with the seasons. My time comes at about 11:00 p.m. after all the chores are done, my DD is in bed, and I finally sit down for the first time since getting home. I spend about an hour reading or watching a movie and then it's to bed and up at 5 a.m. to start a new day.

With 4 boys and a little boy I watch during the week, there isn't much ME time.

I find "my time" at work Not stressful busy here so this is where I do some personal things, pay bills, lurk on the DIS

I am up at 5:00 a.m. every morning and don't stop until I drop around 9:30 - 10:00 pm

As I always say, I will have plenty of time to rest when I die
