I'm a bit selfish and tend to seize a bit of "me time" on the weekends as i am at home with the kids Mon-Fri. DH prefers to potter around the house on the weekends too because he spends all week out at work (in the city)... so it's kinda like we are at odds. On a typical weekend;

Saturday morning I get up early and go out for breakfast by myself, usually in the city. Then I do a bit of shopping, or go for acupuncture or see a movie. I also usually head to a bookshop, usually Borders where you can have a coffee and read in a comfy chair for long periods. I get home at about 2pm... later if I have to do lots of extra shopping. Often I will do the grocery shopping and DH will pick me up... at about 5pm. Then I will tidy up the house while DH cooks dinner. In the warmer months I might also spend the afternoon in the garden.

Sunday: Sometimes I go to church... sometimes I help DH take the kids to their sport activities. Sometimes we'll go to a park or go for a family walk. DD might have friends over so we'll try to socialise with them a bit too. Ideally I will get a bit of time alone in the house to do some sewing or needlework or just tidy up... DH might take the kids to the hardware store. I'll stay home and put on some music and potter myself without my boys wanting to be involved or making it hard.

We tend not to do long family drives anymore... the kids get ansty in the car. Although we went away last weekend to East Gippsland that's a rarity. Maybe when we buy a bigger car (planned for the end of the year) we'll get back to doing that.

From Sept - Mar. DD Does Little Athletics which takes a big chunk out of our weekends too.
