"Me Time"

With Craig's work schedule being as busy as it is, I am busy watching the boys and have little time for myself. But every now and then I need some "me time" as I like to call it.
My "me time" usually comes at night after the boys are down. Sometimes it starts as early as 8:00 PM. Other times it's not until 10:00- or even worse, 10:30. But, I need it. I am not a morning person (never have been), so I don't get up before the boys unless I have to. They are my alarm clock.
When I get my "me time", I usually watch a movie or TV, read a book, look through magazines, go online, catch up on emails, Facebook or the latest- blogging. Sometimes it's for an hour or two, other times it is only around 15 minutes. But I need it. It's the time of the day where I can do what I want to do with little to no interruptions.
Do you have a certain time of the day that you take for yourself? For me, it is an important part of my day.

  1. ME time is such a necessity.
    I don't know how you do it! Such a good mom :)
    What do you do all day with your boys? Seriously?
    I have such a hard time finding things that will occupy this little one year old. Any tips?

  2. I'm lucky, I've gotten to the point where I do have a fairly flexible day with the time to either play or work. I usually have too much to do to really feel good about playing but sometimes- well, it's just nice to know it's there tomorrow if I need it. I also have the luxury of having Jeremy put Jasper to bed every night. That's been new in the last couple of years and has been really nice. Things'll change for you too. :)
