Last week's challenge was a create your own. What did you do this week in terms of self-care? Will you continue with it?
This week's challenge: Arrange to have lunch or dinner out with a friend.

Re: Self Care Check-In
I was really bad at this last week but I did find a new coffee house....and a really boring date, lol.
I love and WILL do this weeks challange!
I hurt my foot a week and a half ago and have been trying to take it easy, went back to the Dr today because I felt like it was more than a sprain, still lots of pain that ibuprofen doesn't help and a swollen lump at the front of my ankle that won't go away. The radiologist hasn't gotten back to the Dr with his opinion on my xrays from the first visit but the Dr is pretty sure it's broken and put me in a boot today. Two more weeks in the boot and I will have it checked again.
One big positive of the past week... Owl and Apple are now free for adoption! We just need to wait out the appeal period and then we can move forward.
Lunch with a friend would be amazing but it's just not possible with the 4 kids and our crazy schedule. I might get away with lunch alone at home, that's a rarity.

Last week, I bought myself a purple T-shirt from Old Navy that was on sale!
Last week, I invited a co-worker/friend to join us for dinner for this Friday. We are paying for her.
Unfortunately, she has a colonoscopy (spelling?) tomorrow and is unsure of how she will recuperate because she has leave Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
That's great butterfly! What an exciting time for your family!
Didn't do anything with last week's challenge but I think I was early with this week's challenge. DH is always giving me grief about how I never go out - even when the opportunity presents itself. There are a few reasons that I just can't pick up and spend the day out - ranging from having 2 kids to the fact that I'm still bf-ing and don't really want to have to figure out when and where to pump while out.
Well, last night one a co-worker of mine invited some of us to happy hour because she had a friend in town. I went ... and had a lot of fun. Only 1 beer consumed but it was great to just be out and having some grown up fun and getting away from all things housewife/mommy. Don't get me wrong - I love both aspects of my life, but it was nice to just kick back, have a drink and chat.
