women do you ever have a "me" day?

[missypie]

Yesterday I had about 4 hours of "me" time and it was much needed. I had the day off work but all three kids started a 3 week summer program where they have classes from 8-12. So, after they were gone I went back to bed from 8:30-10 (of course, the phone rang twice and the doorbell once) and then I colored my hair (without an audience for once). (Funny how many of us color our hair in our "me" time!)

Ha I wish!
I get me time--but rarely a whole day.
I go out to dinner with my girlfriends every few months.
My big one is 9 of my girlfriends and I go to one of the girl's houses in western PA for a weekend.
We all met on a pregnancy board and all have Sept 2001 babies(Kids now I guess wahhh), plus other kids,older and younger-so we're all in the same boat.
Anyway a core group of us really hit it off and we drive, fly in from all over the country to get together-no husbands no kids allowed!
It is a most fabulous time and though Friday night I am missing my kids terribly, by Sunday I am bawling that I have to go home.
For the record my husband also gets a weekend away.
In fact he just came back today. He, my brother and 2 friends of DH's go to Baltimore for the Firehouse Expo, they stay with my husbands brother, go to firefighting seminars all day and hang out together at night. They go Wed.-Sat.

Have to edit and give credit to my wonderful DH-at leats once every two weeks he takes the kids up to his firehouse for an hour or two and I get to be home alone!!! The sheer joy I have at being home all by myself is pathetic. LOL
