Well, I don't have any kids yet but currently I'm getting a looot of "me" time because my DH is at job training. To be honest, I don't like it as much I'd rather be around other people. Sometimes though I like to watch a TV show by myself or read a good book, it's relaxing.

Sometimes though I probably dont capitalize on it as I should. Greyson goes to bed by 730 or 8 and 2 nights a week my hubby isnt home until 1030 or later. With my cousin living here, its not automatic me time. My goal since the beginning of Jan has been to have an hour one night a week to meditate, get back into reading my cards, read, or something other than just waiting for John to get home. So far, I havent gotten there... Maybe tomorrow night.

Yes I read every day, usually in the afternoon with a cup of tea. And then after the kids go to bed I love watching foreign films. And so I'll watch one a night, or maybe a documentary.

Definitely not as much as I should. And I'm starting to feel it! My only quiet time is at night once Josh and Vaughn are in bed, which is about 8pm. So I turn on the TV, watch some DVR'd shows and come online =)
