I'm glad I bumped this thread today :-) its good to hear that my need for me time is the same as so many others.
My mum never took time for herself.. i guess thats something to learn from. Im having Friday evenings off and having a great time. I've been to the movies, out to dinner with friends and to a grease singalong!
I'm a much better mummy for it and I am asking for a midweek break where DP feeds DD her supper bottle and I relax or go to bed early. I'm really blessed, DP is a hands on Dad :-)
I hope I will be a better role model of self care than my mother.
Unfortunately it just doesnt happen, but yeah, have found that i can go really spare at times as a result!
I dream of a couple of hours to do, well, whatever i please
Sooo want to see "django" at the movies but arghhh!! cannot do it! wahhh! (yep, pity party as i sit in the house alone (with the kids of course), on yet another weekend where it appears that everyone else is doing fun Oz Day stuff...i mopped the floors and changed about 5 nappies hahahaha)
I am in real need for me time atm. Last week, i had my first afternoon away from the kids (since ds was born) doing me stuff and it was fricking awesome. i got to do my fire brigade vol wrok without having to juggle kids.
unfortunately, i haven't had much opportunity for me time, as my potential kid carers (apart from DH) are not well. DD is going to kinder this year, which will allow me some DS+me time, and he is slightly less full on than DD, so hoping that will recharge me.
Recharging yourself
