I sometimes need time by myself. Usually it is for grocery shopping or things like that. Today, I decided to get a pedicure. It would give me some relaxation and I really need it. DH announced he needed a pedicure, too. I called and made him an appointment too. The only time he does not want to go with me is if I have too many errands planned or if I go to Walmart or Costco.
I love my pedicure time but it has to be by myself. DH keeps hinting about joining me but I don't bite. No errand is too long for him to join me. I miss the 8 to 5 days I used to have when he was still working.
Hmmmm, alone time....I'm starting to forget what that is! I would have a constant shadow if I didn't request grocery in store privacy which doesn't always work.
Wow. I know what you mean. The only time I get to be alone is if I go in the bathroom and shut the door. :) He insist on going everywhere with me. It drives me nuts. The other day I sent an e-mail to the two "steps" and told them a few things that I think really woke them up. Anyway, one has offered to pay for another day at daycare so I can have some "me" time. I work part time three days a week but that isn't my own time. Of course, I'll have to tell DH a little white lie - that I'm working an extra day. I'm really looking forward to it.
I am enjoying the time having our new Home Health Aide allows me. 2 hrs 3X a week. Today I saw my therapist and got my hair cut. I've gone from dark brown and white to strawberry blond and spiky! Fun! I plan to start walking alone to. I am learning, slowly, but learning to take time for me or else time will wear me down.
