women do you ever have a "me" day?

[binny]

I have to admit Im pretty selfish when it come to my personal time and dh spoils me in the regard so Im very fortunate. But I dont take really good care of myself ( busy with the kids and all)
but I decided today was a me day!
I left the kids at home with dad went and got my haircut came home, coloured it, had a nice long bubble bath and a facial and just generally spoiled myself now Im BBQing chicken ( I will share with everyone though ) and Im just having what *I* want!

I think we all need a *ME* day!!

LOL!
PD if you would like to have a facial and exfoliate you are welcome to have a me day as well!

How about no. But just came back from a whole week to myself.I hadnt spent anytime on myself in 13 years and it had taken its toll. Went to the white mountains all by myself and loved it.

tomorrow is my Me day, I am getting my hair colored, shopping and going out tomorrow night with my best friend. It is kind of a birthday celebration but a me day none the less

Ocasionally I'll take a day off from work when DD is in preschool and DH is working and have a me day. Sometimes I'll just enjoy the quiet at home and being able to finish an entire cup of coffee while it's still hot other times I'll run errands I've been putting off or even tackle some projects around the house. It makes me appreciate how lucky I am to have DD and DH.

I had one it was last June (not kidding). I went with 2 friends from my multiples club. We spent the day at a spa on the ocean had a facial, a warm stone massage, went to the beach and out to dinner. It was a great day, maybe I will be lucky and have another one some day.

I have a me weekend every year. A bunch of my friends from college and I get together every summer for a weekend, no husbands, no kids. We go to a friend's cabin on the lake and just hang out together and LAUGH alot. It is great and I appreciate my family more when I get back.
I also take me half-days here and there. DH is good about knowing when I need one and sometimes suggests it before I even think of it. I usually go shopping!

I need a me day.

Love "me" days, but they are rare and too far inbetween....going to have "me" time this week on our 3 day cruise....DD loves going to the kid's club and I can't get her out.

 

[dvcfamily41801]

I totally have them. I try every few months to have one. I will usually shop, go to Starbucks, just watch TV do whatever I want. My DH works retail so he has a day off during the week sometimes and I get so jealous.

I'm a huge fan of "me" time. It keeps me sane. I enjoy the occassional weekend without the kids & hubby works 2nd shift, however, most of my "me" time comes during my commute (1 hour) to and from work...I'm able to wind up in the morning & wind down at night.

Really? Hrmm... why am I waiting so long for a me day then ;P

I do all that stuff... the massages, time at the salon, even a spa day here and there. I also enjoy girls' nights out (both mild and wild -- ok, maybe not as wild as in the old days) -- and all that good stuff... but I like to tuck a little bit of "me" time into each and everyday if possible. So, how does this (stay-at-home mom/part time employee) woman of 4 kids under age 5 have "me" time?

TOP FIVE WAYS TO HAVE "ME" TIME -- even though you really didn't ask! lol:
5) Work out every morning for 1-2 hours while kids are in gym Babysitting room. Can actually shower and get dressed w/o interruption too! Productive "me" time!


4) What do a college-aged girl, my middle-aged mom and my neighbors all have in common? They're a great support network. Having a great college-aged babysitter who adores my kids puts my mind at ease for a night out w/or w/o dh and for summer afternoons when I need time to myself! Mom loves to spend time w/her grandkids -- and she's a cheap babysitter too! lol... And great neighbors who will watch the kids on those days that running to Wal-Mart for a 15 minute trip just seems to daunting w/the kids -- all the buckling and jostling for who gets to ride where in the car and shopping cart. Same said great neighbors are great for going for power walks with at night after kids are tucked into bed and dh is lounging in front of t.v.

3) 2-3 times a year go to all-day scrapbook events -- sometimes even overnight ones -- more productive "me" time.

2) Ask for massages and gift certificates to local day spas for birthday and Christmas gifts.

1) Being married to a super-awesome dh who understands the value of "me" time -- who, by the way needs more of his own "me" time. I actually begged him to plan a poker/card night last weekend and told him I'd take the kids and spend the night at my sister's. And still, I had to start making the calls to his friends to get it organized! He felt guilty about it! Awww! But I know he enjoyed it in the end!

I am getting two "me" weekends soon. It rarely happens so I am psyched!

I am going with my Mom to a family reunion in MN. We are going to spend a lot of time in the hot tub at the hotel and we will spend a day at the Mall of America.

The following weekend I am going to Boston with two friends to spend the night and see Mama Mia.

I have one every other weekend when dd is with her father.

mickeyboat!
Both of your "Me" trips sound like so much fun! We took the whole family to Mall of America last year -- have relatives out that way! It's fun place! And my sis and I took my mom to Mamma Mia in Providence last year as well! Absolutely a fabulous time!

Have fun and enjoy it!

My husband makes sure of that.

I work out at a spa so really five days a week for about two hours is a me day.

I have my own practice so I work when I can but my son comes first in my life, well actually God, son, husband, then me.

I don't mind though. I get all the me time I need and I prefer to spend time with my family.

 

[browneyes]

I very rarely get a me day. I can't remember the last me day I had. I think it was probably about 12 years ago or so.
