Wedded Wednesday: Me Time

Do you think that it is wrong to have "me time"? When speaking to my friend Dani this past weekend, we both talked about the activities that we enjoy with and without our spouses. I have several friends who feel the same as we do, which is that  "me time" is good so that you can have better "we time."  I also have friends who seem to want to do everything with their spouse. I think that if I did everything with the hubby, don't get me wrong I love the hubby, but  I  think I would be crazy or just bored.

I do not know if it is the only child in me or not , but I enjoying being with just me at times. On another point of clarity, I do not want to hang with my hubby's friends all the time and I am sure that he does not always want to be around my girlfriends. I truly feel that having your own space and interest bring freshness and variety to your relationship. Becoming better individuals make you better as a couple. What do you think?

Definitely agree that a little ME makes it better when it's WE. I participate in the 52 weeks of ME challenge on my blog each Friday to find time to do just that, make time for yourself. Maybe check it out??
Couldn't imagine always working to please your husband, children, and others. You should come first.

I agree! When I first got married I would feel guilty for wanting some "me time". I felt that as newlyweds there's this idea that we were supposed to be togethe ALL THE TIME. Now that we've adjusted and figured things out a little better - what works and doesn't for us, we've learned that it's OK to have our separate time. It's makes for a healthier union in my opinion!

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
