twitter moms: the influential moms network

To get some "me" away from the kids, husband and business, I like to take a 30 minute walk around the block. The fresh air really helps me relieve stress and it give's me a great break away from it all.

My gym time is the best!!!!!!! 2 hours every week day and sometimes I go for an hour on the weekends.

I love my work out time as well, I jazzercise & play tennis but my favorite thing to do is go antiquing alone, I love it more than anything!!! I wish I had hours to window shop and endless cash reserves to support this never ending fantasy!!! LOL!

working out (running or weight training) I feel like it totally for me, makes me feel great and I can jam out to music without being interrupted. LOL

My "me" time is in the bathtub. I can read, burn candles, relax and just enjoy. I never got to do that when my children were little, so now that they're completely self-sufficient I'm enjoying my baths!

My 'me' time events....(three favorites categories :) )
favorite but don't do it enough: run/walk. Trying to get back on a regular schedule
favorite make sure it happens: watch my TiVo'd episodes of Grey's Anatomy and ER
(wish) to be favorite but never take the time: be creative and crafty (got the shopping for creativity tools down, though)

grab a starbucks and head to the nearest book store and drift off to the land of books. Otherwise ear phones, soft music and a very hot bubble bath. WITH NO KIDS.

I have a lot of great escapes. I work out daily, I do yoga on Sundays (biggest escape), the spa is a fantastic treat and when I can't leave the house - we have a side room in the house and the family knows when the door is closed, I am asking for peace. I usually wake up anywhere from 2 to 4 hours earlier than everyone, so that is probably my most precious time that I cherish. The house is so still and I watch the sunrise every morning. That is my most sacred time of the day.

I go to the gym 3x a week which is very nice but my favorite me time is when DH takes the boys in to town for lunch on Sundays. They are gone 2-3 hours and I can just lay around my house, watch what I want to watch, read uninterrupted, listen to my music. It's great!

I like to listen to some of my favorite music, or read a few chapters of whatever book I'm enjoying at the time.

I'd have to say anytime that I am in the car alone! I tend to have my worship music on loud and sing to the top of my lungs and have a great time with the Lord. It refreshes me and calms me down. Sometimes it's just a long talk with God too.

Go off to a coffee shop and knit. It relaxes me, especially if it's just me. I don't have to entertain anyone. Peace and quiet.
