View Full Version : What do you do for YOU?
I have been making time to exercise, everyday....and I am eating right FOR ME....in the afternoons lately I have just been sitting by the window and staring at the beautiful landscape....doing a little self reflecting....which has been wonderful....
anyone else care to share? :rolleyes:
Exercise, take naps if I feel like it, get my nails done, get a massage when I want one, talk to my girlfriends on the phone....all sorts of stuff....this is ONE area I don't have a problem in!! ;) :lol:

I am working on this one. I had given myself up for my dd and church calling. Now, I am reading (just started today ) I guess you could say that piano is for me. And I am planning on going to the "Retreat" soon. It is a day spa. I plan on having the works. Just got to fit in the schedule. I have been working lotsa of days. Not complaining though the spending money is great.
So, Like I said a work in progress!!

For me... unfortunately lately not too much. :( I sound like I'm constantly complaining but... ever since my dad died I've taken on SO much with/for my mom without too much help from any of my other sisters. I'm hoping that after she moves iinto her new house I'll begin to have a little bit more time just for ME. :) I LOVE her and love doing things with/for her but sometimes it just get's to be a little bit too much.
Tonight though I've decided to go and do some shopping all by myself. I'm going to Fashion Bug to see what/if they have any nice dresses that I could wear for my dd's wedding. I still need to loose some weight but it doesn't hurt to look. I'm really looking forward to getting away and doing something just for ME. LOL
Hey Renee... you're just about ready to take over my 3rd place in the top ten members... :bigcry: LOL Congratulations!!! :D
Diane... :wave:

I go out with friends a couple of times a month. I make an effort to run errands by myself on Sunday afternoons. I love to chat on the phone...and putz around on the internet. I get up earlier than everyone else so that I don't feel so rushed in the morning.

I'd like to add that I even got to take a nice loooooooong hot bath last night... It felt nice to be alone and pamper myself a little bit. I wish I could do that more often. LOL

Lately not enough.
I can usually catch a few minutes for myself during the day, while ds and dd are in school and dh is working. the :tinysmile :tinysmile :tinysmile have pretty close to the same afternoon sleep schedule which is a bonus for me until all wake up at the same time. :tearhair:
When I get a moment, I relax with a good book, a quick soak in the tub, take a nap myself, or come by here and see whats new.
