lately i feel guilty feeling like a need a break.  and really all i need is an hour or 2 to get a pedicure or just run to the store alone....and my DH is good in that if he isn't working he tells me to go.

i am with DD 24/7 and i love it and it was our choice for me to be SAHM and i feel like this is my job and that i shouldn't need to ask for a break, that it makes me weak or something.  she is asleep at night by 7:30-8 and she has been taking 2 naps a day since we started the sleep sense program--i feel like shouldn't that be enough of a break?

and i know you are all going to say that it is ok to need a break, and that everyone should have time for themselves.....but it is just what i am feeling.

No, I totally agree.  I am at home with Georgia, and my other daughter who is 4 yrs old.  I managed to get them both on the same afternoon nap schedule, just so I could be kid-free for a couple of hours.

But, even when they are napping....it's not like you can go anywhere.  Sure, the me-time is good....but I can't leave the house.

I totally get what you're saying.  Last night DH got home early, and I went to the grocery store alone....and it was SO exciting.  How lame is that?!
