What do you do for your "me" time?

How often do you get "me" time?

What do you do for your "me" time? Exercise, shop,

How often do you get "me" time? Everyday I get about an hour where all the kids lay down and rest. A couple times a month I get to go shop or something by myself. This weekend there are 4 mommy markets so I'll be going to those by myself, my reason for not taking kids, it cost $1 to get into each.

Working out is my me time. I do it about 5 days per week, sometimes 6, although 1 or 2 days I have Juliana in the stroller so I'm not sure if this counts. I sometimes feel guilty about working out so often because I work all day and then go straight to put Juliana in the gym childcare, and I feel less guilty about running with the stroller because at least I can talk to her.

I get to do a lot more when I'm visiting my mom or she's visiting me. I'm in FL now at her house and I went out for dinner and drinks with my friend last night. I'm going out again tonight for the rehearsal dinner and Friday night for the wedding. I haven't had this much time away from Juliana ... ever.

Every 8 weeks I get my hair highlighted and occasionally, like every 3 months or so, I get a facial.

Wow, how's it going?!?!?!

My work is my "me time". Seriously, it felt like work until I had Arie, and now work feels like a vacation. Also after she goes to bed. I'm tired too but I force myself to stay up, which isn't the smartest thing. I occasionally go hang out with my friends or something and have someone watch her. I do get more "me time" than some moms get, but I would still like more please.
