Do you make a little time for yourself in your week? In between all the other stuff that you have to do, is there an hour or so where you maybe just lie in the bath, listen to music, go for a drink, do a class (for fun). What constitutes "me time" for you?

;hugs p1key; How's it going brother? Hugging all of you there!!!

I myLot or now I singsnap. The singing really lifts my spirits. Sometimes I'll take a soak in the tub. I like it when I can get my man to go for a walk with us.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

Thanks Dahr'lin Sis. We're chugging along OK right now. Hopefully each day will get a little better. I used to like a long soak, but now that we have the shower my book gets wet! LOL.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7306)   ranked 491 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

Yip, that's pretty much the only thing a long soak is good for....a long read as well. LOL!

I get a minimum of 5 hours of me time a week that I use to go work out. Now that all my ridiculous testing is over I can finally start going back to my exercise classes.

Other than that it feels like I have to lock myself in the bathroom just to make a phone call. My kids don't know the meaning of personal space.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

You're still doing those exercises then Cyn. You look so good I must say. I know all about children and personal space. When you want yours you can't have it. When they want theirs though......... That's a different story!

I wait till the house is quiet. I make a cup of tea. I curl up with a blanket over my lap. And I read. I read anything for just an hour or so. I drink my tea and listen to nothing but the night or early morning. I sometimes snack on cheese or grapes.

I'm big on simple moments and that is one of my favorite times to just myself.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

That sounds wonderful. I sometimes like to lie in bed on my own and get lost in my book.


myLot reputation of 90/100. frenchcountry (108)   ranked 12,894 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

I have a lot of me time too, but even within that there is special time for just relaxing and reading or listening to music etc.


myLot reputation of 93/100. caroll30 (1024)   ranked 6,218 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

Maybe we should get together lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

I myself, like to take a walk around the mall, or read a nice book, or watch a craft show on T.V. there are so many things I like to do for "me time" I love to sit outside and be with my dogs, as well as create some neat crafty projects, like jewelry or an angel to give to someone. or just spend a few hours relaxing listening to my C.D. player, or sitting in our massage chair and getting a back massage. so lots of things I love to do for "me time"

myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

I've seen them, but never tried a massage chair. Is it good? I don't like the fact that they are always so public. If I had one at home I am sure that I'd never be out of it.


myLot reputation of 48/100. bizmom24 (142)   ranked 11,188 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

Yes it does really do the job, and the one's they have in malls cost either too much or doesn't do the job. the one we have even does your ankles, up around your neck and shoulders, it's great and does work. we all enjoy having it. and for the $$ my hubby paid, we make sure we get the use out of it.lol but yes i love it and it's in the privacy of our own home and no $ to fork out to pay like the stores/malls.

I don't do enough "me time". I joke every night that I'm on "Karen time" once the boys are in bed. But that's not entirely true. I'm often doing things around the house to get stuff ready for the next day. Or just playing some mindless online games to pass the time. Not really making much out of my "me time", because I'm too tired.

The same goes for during my days. Although that is starting to change, as this is the year of Karen. I'd signed up for an art class, but sadly, it was canceled b/c of lack of enrollment. Sigh! Maybe in the next season I'll try again? And I'm slowly getting my schtuff together (finances, physical wellness, mental health, etc), all for improving me.

In the meantime, the majority of my "me time" is spent online talking to friends and socializing that way. I also have my morning coffees with a good friend and neighbour, which I enjoy greatly.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

You work hard Karen - with your boys. What a shame about that class. Maybe there are other arty things that will happen over the year that you can participate in. It can be hard to find the time, or realise that you have the time even, but if you can escape for a few minutes; then it's wonderful. XXXX

Hi p1kef1sh,

I wish I had the time for me, I'd never really thought about it until I read your discussion which made me think do I? and no I don't.

"me time" is the time I am on the computer doing what I want. And connecting with friends. That is what I consider me time. And if not able to get on the computer then maybe taking the time to read a good book.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

I love joining in with some of your me time when you are on the computer Becky. XXX

Sorry can't spell this morning..done=down...lolblushrasphave a tooth ache and trying to distract myself from pain by getting online.. it works sometimes.. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

Have you tried oil of cloves or, and this is a desperate step, dissolving an aspirin right on the tooth. If the pain persists you'd better get off to a dentist. Look after yourself.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (10309)   ranked 4,510 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

I actually brushed my teeth with a tooth paste called Tom's of Maine Natural Spearmint flavor and it helped relieve it somewhat..the toothpaste did so I dabbed a bit on the tooth itself and it is not so bad as it was..I do not have aspirin or oil of clove wish I did because I have tried those before and they worked.


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (5630)   ranked 107 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

How is the tooth now?


myLot reputation of 99/100. mtdewgurl74 (10309)   ranked 4,510 out of 35,119 in people  10 months ago

Tooth is doing fine right now. I borrowed a few pain killers off of my sister n law and with in a few days it was fine. Also used peroxide also. Thanks for asking.
