I need some "ME" time

I am really longing for some "me" time.  Being an only child, I like having "me" time.  I like to go to the store, go to the movies, get coffee all by myself.  Now my husband, the social butterfly that he is doesn't even like to go into the next room by himself.  He doesn't understand why I don't mind doing things and go places alone.  Don't get me wrong, I like to be around people but I honestly just don't mind(and mostly enjoy!)being by myself.  With the kids getting older and asking me a million questions a day and constantly needing my attention I just get overwhelmed with the noise.  Today has just been one of those days that I would love to have a job that takes me 30 minutes to get to so that I could enjoy the peace and quiet of the ride.  I think I need to go to bed early tonight!

As an only child myself, I COMPLETELY understand! I'd say let's get together for some coffee to chat about it -- but that defeats the ME time! hee hee...

Hang in there, friend!

Yep - been there. Thanks so much for the follow. I love to peak into others lives and how wonderful that your hubby is working with those teens. That is my background and my heart will always be for bringing those kids to the knowledge of our Lord. :)

I totally understand!

My favorite thing to do is go to the movies by myself.

I do this a couple times a year and I feel like a NEW woman....and I don't have to share my chocolate with anyone!
