Today has just been one of those days and I feel like I am getting to that point where I need some ME TIME. I really don't get that often… maybe once ever six months or so which is totally not enough. Moms should get out and rejeuvante themselves ever couple weeks or so.
Well I just got off the phone with Hubbs… he is on his way home from work and he said Jen just take the evening go grocery shopping and stop off at Starbucks and enjoy your favorite drink there. AHHH… I'm so excited I can't even hold it in 🙂 I just had to share.
How often do you get out and have some me time? I'm thinking about starting a mommy's night out here in my new city. Not sure if I will or not but its something I have been thinking about it. I know one blogger Stefanie that lives really close to me, so I should see what she thinks :).
I'll be back a renewed mommy tonight ;).
Jen, I would totally come to your mommy’s night out! It is a great idea actually. 😉
I think I need some more mommy alone time too. I have been wanting to get my hair done forever now…
BTW I LOVE Starbucks, my fav is the chai tea frappuchino….ahhh sooooo goood!
I am the same as you…I hardly ever get out without my daughter. It’s getting easier as she gets older, but still…I miss her so much when I leave her that I can’t stay away for more than 15 mins….

TOtally with you there I wish I lived closer and I’d join you. I”m getting a girl’s night tomorrow night! I can’t wait… going to help set up for a women’s conference at church and then out to dinner with my gals from church.
When my husband says “Sweetie, go out alone for a few.” I say bye and run!
Hope your time alone was rejuvenating.
not enough. god knows, not enough. whose fault is that? mine and mine only. if you don’t make it important it wont happen. i know, i know. glad you got to enjoy some alone time jen 🙂
not enough here either. i really need to find more balance in that regard. we moms really need time to refuel our tanks so we can better care for our families.
glad u got some time out, but sucks that it’s going grocery shopping. hehe. that’s often my “me time” too. :oP
My me-time is my layovers. I love it!
Hey Jen,
same with me…I spend all “my time” in front of computer finishing my PhD thesis. But I hope to hand it in next month and than I will try to go to dance class once a week. I think moms really need some time for ourselves but than again I miss Jun a lot, so I can not stay away for more than an hour 🙂
I am blessed in the way that I get time Daily (1hr in the early evening to meditate) I also meet up with friends every 2nd Tuesday of the month for dinner AND I go out with friends every other Saturday.
I found out that a mommy with no me time is a mommy that is burnt out 🙁
Enjoy your time
It’s amazing how just a little time to yourself can do wonders to your attitude! Glad you were able to enjoy your time alone!

I hope you had a great time – you very much deserved it 🙂
