Just wondering how much time other mums get all to themselves each week? I mean, your own time to do whatever you like (not just when they're asleep and you don't know how long they'll stay down for). And what do you do with your time?
At the moment none. I have managed to get a couple of nights out, but there has always been the threat of the phone call saying come back home she wont stop crying.
Zero time for me. I was actually talking to DH last night about me doing yoga just one night a week.... having "me" time for just 1hr every week.... I think I really need it, especially now that DD is 9mths old now. It's time you know?
Um, nothing. Not out of the house to myself time. I get 10-15 minutes here and there to read or sew, but 90% of the time its interrupted to cuddle, throw a ball, or read a quick book to Jazz, and then I can get back to it LOL!
We did go to Pink in August, our first time away together since Jazz was born, and we had a whole 5-6 hours just Shel and I, and I'm still pretty stoked about that ROFL!
I am about to start part-time work, which I think will be great to have something away from the home. Not 'relax' time, but still time to myself, more than I've had for 15 months My parents are moving up here in January, so I'm hoping they'll want to do some grandparents duties once a fortnight maybe LOL!
I've done lots of things, but this really is all in the last year or so. Everything I do on my own is of an evening after the kids are in bed. That said it's not because DH can't or won't look after the kids, it's just that during the day on the weekend is family time.
* played on an indoor soccer team
* go for hot chocolate (or dessert!) after dinner with a friend
* grocery shopping of an evening
* cake decorating course, twice!
* gone for dinner with some friends, need to do that again!
* last Thursday night I went to the book shop, had a browse, bought some books & a hot chocolate for an hour BLISS!!
* this Thursday I'm going to get my nails done & eyebrows & lashes tinted for my friends' wedding on Saturday.
None at the moment really, i think since i had DD i have been to the movies once with a friend and DP and i went to the movies once aswell... otherwise a quick trip to the manicurest as i was given a voucher i had to use but i was back within the hour.
Everywhere i go she goes, for lunch with friends, shopping... everywhere!
Hmm if i could get ME time more often i would LOVE to go get a PG massage, maybe get my nails done...
Might be getting 2hrs every 2nd Wednesday without her but thats so i can come home n mop... lol
Ohhhhh to have me time again... lol but wouldn't change her for the world.
