What are you doing this week "for you?"

legalbeagle1 · January 2014

Okay, we're all in holiday comas, but let's get this board moving again! Contribute threads!

I'll start. We always get told by other people (in my case, usually non-moms) that you have to take time out for yourself/do something for you. One of the reasons some of us want to be OAD is because we like alone time/have interesting hobbies/love our friends/etc. So what is that thing going to be this week? Big or small.

This week I am FINALLY going to spend some money on a few new items of clothing for myself (both work and casual). I have been back at work since last February and was loathe to buy lots of new clothes because I only had 5 more pounds to lose. Well, that 5 pounds is now 10 pounds but I still need clothes that fit. My husband works all the time but I told him I am going shopping this weekend by myself and he needs to take care of L. I'm excited to have jeans that fit without a muffin top -- regardless of size.

This Friday I have a vacation day. In the morning I am volunteering from 9-Noon, and then I'm going shopping. I am really looking forward to leisure shopping... just casually browsing, trying on a few new trends, checking out new styles, sipping a latte (all by myself!)

I truly LOVE this perk of being a WM and OAD. I get a lot of vacation time, so I am really spoiled with the amount of time that I can take for myself.

I LOVE nothing exciting weeks. Dh and I pride ourselves on them. I put ds in daycare two days last week during vacation and caught up on things. I was able to clean and run errands. As for this week, I am adjusting to life with Invisalign. I get the attachments put on next week.

DH and I are going to a glass ornament workshop on Saturday. It's been on my wish list for years. I'm excited!

I've been trying to meditate more, without falling asleep! lol
It's something I did regularly and I felt more grounded and less stressed.

I really need to work on this. I do have time to myself, but I don't do anything productive or meaningful (hello facebook and grey's reruns). I am signing DS for part-time daycare this week -- just two mornings a week -- so he can get some socialization away from me and I can get a mental break. I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do with my time. Kicking laziness's butt is part of my new years resolution.

I am just going out for tea with a friend. We recently had to move on short notice because my son had an elevated lead level. In the past month, in addition to all the other high maintenance things my son deals with, we added lead poisoning, iron deficiency, speech and OTfor delays, food allergy testing, and a dog bite to the face. What I really need is a vacation, but with the cost of the move, having the old house assessed for lead, and moving again in 6 months, all I can afford is tea time. Thank goodness I only have to pay these medical expenses for one!

Last night was my official weekly "me time." I belong to a bar trivia team. Most people just drink Diet Coke though. It's pretty mellow.

I'm getting my hair done tomorrow. I only manage that about twice a year.
