We get so busy taking care of others, doing house cleaning, working, taking care of the kids, making dinner, etc;

I am going to take a walk down by my pier and look out at the big Bay of water and the big sky. Just relax and take a little time to escape in the beauty of it. I am going to try and do it real early in the morning when the sun is getting ready to rise and there isn't alot of movement going on. I haven't been to the pier in a long time and it only takes me 5-7 minutes to walk to. That is sad I haven't been there more.

Well, while on vacation I don't have as much "me" time as at home. But, dh and I take turns watching the kids at the beach so we each get a chance to go swimming in the ocean. I like to go boogie boarding if the waves are nice or just float around. The water is great (around 76 degrees) so it has been a luxury to go swimming. I got two trips in the ocean yesterday! I also got to lay out at the pool a little while dh watched the kids yesterday. When we get home, I'd like to go to the gym on one or two days.

Hugs,
Peg

Peg,


Sounds like you are having fun at the beach. Where are you on vacation? I wanted to go to the beach last week but my money was too tight. I might go in October but I don't think I will be in the water then.


I hope you continue to enjoy your trip.

I don't need to worry about pampering myself this week. Because of my surgery, DH is pampering ME! This is MY time!

Express!

I have been being so lazy that I don't think I should be taking any me time. I need to clean my house and do some laundry.


In my me time I just like to chill and read though. I am very jealous of you ladies near the water. Now that would be great me time. I love to sit by the ocean, just the smell is so relaxing. Or a creek is a nice peaceful place.

I will soak in our spa for an hour while my wife is not home. Even going swimming with her is difficult, like being around a 10 year old, she's always diving into the spa, then jumping out into the pool, then swimming back and forth, then diving into the spa again. After 20 minutes she's bored, and will go inside, and expect me to follow her. So I'm going to enjoy the spa for myself today =).

I know what you mean when you have so many other things to do we feel we shouldn't treat ourselves to "me" time but it really is good for us to want to do more. I know time can get away from us and before we know it we are drained and need to replenish. I love to read too. I do a lot of that, online and books and now going back to school I will be doing even more...ugh. I need to find other things to regroup.


I hope you do a little something. Make your favorite drink and have a nice bubble bath.


I live near the water and I don't spend alot of time down by there because of the kids, so I go when they are in school. They should be returning in a couple weeks. Then I can go down and sit at the pier and enjoy the atmosphere.

That is right, Beth. You better be a good girl and relax and recover. I am glad DH is pampering you...that is so sweet.
