How often do you get time to yourself?

Do you have a normal time during the day/night that is just for you?

What do you normally do?

How often do you get time to yourself? Usually once a day, but it depends

Do you have a normal time during the day/night that is just for you? after Ross goes to sleep (7ish) i take about an hour for me, before i finish up any cleaning or things around the house. But I should add that Ross prefers to be left alone to play anyways, as long as he can see me is happy, so i do get time to just sit and use the computer during the day

What do you normally do? usually i read, or take a nice bath, listen to music or play on the computer and sometimes DH and i decide to watch a movie together

sometimes I go run errands just to get out alone.

How often do you get time to yourself? During the day not that often. I don't count cleaning when Sophia is in bed as me time.

Do you have a normal time during the day/night that is just for you?No not really. Usually at the end of the day I am so tired I just want to lay down. I have a hard time doing stuff for myself. I put Sophia always first.

What do you normally do? Normally a shower, blowing my hair into a nice do and putting on some make-up is a nice treat. When I look good I feel good. BUT last weekend I went for a pedicure and it was SOOOOO nice but I felt guilty for spending money for that. I haven't had a pedicure in 6 years or so. And to top it off, DH bought me new shoes. I felt so special but again guilty for him spending money on me. It's hard to put myself first you know?

How often do you get time to yourself? I really try to have some every night.

Do you have a normal time during the day/night that is just for you? After J goes to bed and I straighten up the apartment and finish whatever else I have to do, prepare for work tomorrow, etc... usually around 8pm.

What do you normally do? Go on the computer, read, have a scoop or 2 of ice cream Sometimes DF and I will watch something together but I have been too tired lately.

I usually get an hour or two every afternoon while the kids naps and then after they go to bed around 8:30. I work out sometimes in the afternoons, and in the evenings, I usually am watching TV or online.
