I have a hard time doing that because I have a handicapped child (blind). We've started doing quality time things together, like working out at the Y. It's good for all of us.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647906900944224234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24548244.post-56937335083542693822007-08-22T20:42:00.000-05:002007-08-22T20:42:00.000-05:00You already said it.

Workout, get dressed up and made up, shop (for yourself), get together with friends and have FUN!<BR/><BR/>You're also right that your family will reap the benefits of a HAPPY YOU. So even though you're getting some me time, it's for them too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24548244.post-9457014167311806032007-08-20T15:17:00.000-05:002007-08-20T15:17:00.000-05:00I know what you mean.

I didn't get a chance to follow up because I've had alot of stress lately. <BR/><BR/>We missed ya tho. But hope you can come out again.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08527762200993175239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24548244.post-11564160961141533312007-08-20T11:18:00.000-05:002007-08-20T11:18:00.000-05:00I'm also pretty bad at this.

I hadn't showered since Thursday morning. Because she gets up, and Bryan needs to shower and the dogs need to pee, and we all need to eat...blah blah.<BR/><BR/>Daycare has been the best thing for me in this department. I was 1000 times worse at "me time" when she was home with the nanny and I was working in the other room. I'm trying to set aside the guilt. As it is, I try to include her in my cardio workouts (in the jogging stroller), and the dogs too. I'm quick at the gym and only go 3 days per week, one of which is Saturday, when Bryan takes her swimming. I cut my hair so it was quicker to style and so I actually was forced to style it in the AM v. ponytail. I try to do at least a quick make up routine every AM. Having a place to workout at home will be huge for me, since I'll do it in the AM before anyone is up.<BR/><BR/>I'm planning a girl's weekend with my best friend of shopping and pedicures. My feet need some serious attention. And all my shirts have been puked on one too many times...<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/>DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
