I'm trying to take a few he's a week for non related work or kids, and just sleep or listen to music. <br />Thanks,<br />DeeThe Haute Frugalistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901948487028747880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241612993580002090.post-14138985920910670182015-05-20T23:54:39.536+01:002015-05-20T23:54:39.536+01:00Now that my son is in school, I actually schedule ...Now that my son is in school, I actually schedule some "me time" during the day in the middle of my work day. I used to do the same thing when my daughter began school before I had my son. I chunk my time when working. Hence, in between the time chunks I deliberately take time to do something I want to do. Whether it is quiet time, movie time, solo dance time, whatever as long as it is "me time".Shonda @AbundantJourneyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955795896467671554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241612993580002090.post-54599369325334192232015-05-20T18:24:08.906+01:002015-05-20T18:24:08.906+01:00This is so true.

I can get a lot done in those 20 mins or so. hehe! I am also into knitting and crocheting.

I enjoy reading 1800s romance when I get the chance to read.

You've given us some great ideas and there are many more, whatever takes your fancy! Just do it! I got up at the crack of dawn & went to the beach for the Spring Solstice and just sat watching the sun rise. I often set the alarm early so I can hear some of the dawn chorus and it gives me a little bit of breathing space before I face the day.Kate Sarsfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044105655943714164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6241612993580002090.post-57917540183250978492015-05-19T21:29:49.286+01:002015-05-19T21:29:49.286+01:00You are right...I haven't had any me time late...You are right...I haven't had any me time lately while chasing around two boys (babysitters are on vacation and school is already out--arg) so I am stressed to say the least. I would really love to have time to read for myself.

Lately my me time is locking the backroom door, having a hot bubble bath and not listening to the bangs on the doors. My hubby tries so hard to keep them down in the living room but they always get away and come. Banging!

Before I took it up as a hobby, I found myself stressed with my everyday life with no real release. Television and movies, no matter how much I loved them, couldn't provide that for me. However, as you said, taking a book and immersing yourself in another world is the perfect way to let go of all of your troubles. Also, ordering takeout is another stress relief we do often in our house... Too often probably.Travis N.

I absolutely agree, a spa day is the most enjoyable thing to do, along with reading a book. Reading always feels like a mini vacation to me. If the book is really good you almost feel like your right there.
