a little "me time"?

For what completely self-indulgent thing have you blown off your children and/or spouse?

I took a long weekend tri, alone, to visit a cousin. We played the whole weekend. Went shopping, ate out, shopped, ate, laughed and acted like we were 10 again. No kids, laundry, dishes or husbands. I was glad to get home. I can only handle freedom in small amounts.

went "out" for a night - I was gone from 5 pm to 3 am the next morning. My husband was NOT too happy.

Girls nights. I go out with my girlfriends, and forget about him & the kids. It's GREAT!

I put in a movie for them and then go to my room and read, look around on the Internet, or even take a nap.

Girls nights out, definitely. Some day I'm going to take a girls weekend trip somewhere and leave my husband with the baby!
