62459Happy Anniversary! Sounds like a good time especially ending up with friends and family.. LLDS!
173580Absolutely, Toogie! It is the ME time amongst all the constant demands of our time, that keep us SANE. I work in ME time on a regular basis, especially whenever I feel stressed. A weekend just like you describe is a great way to unwind and relax, and push your cares aside, at least for awhile! Congratulation you you and your hubby on your anniversary, and the sweet way to celebrate with "down" time for you both!
Hugs, Angel

I am so glad you understand. I feel so guilty, or I use to, not so much anymore. I promised my daughter that I would 'help' when Avery was born. I was able to handle things better, a few years ago. When Avery "coded" 1 1/2 years ago,(and thank God her mom did CPR till air-med picked her up and I didn't have to), I nearly had a break-down. Not while it was happening but afterward. Ever since then, I have had trouble during stress, some days (not often) with my nerves. I am afraid if I don't get a way, I will lose it, and those times I just want to be by myself. I am thankful for a understanding husband and thankful for my family, but "I" need something too-Toogie

Toogie, I learned a LONGGGG time ago, that each day is a blessing and it isn't promised for any of us. Yet, when it involves those we love so dearly and could be taken from us in the blink of an eye, it pulls the very heart from us. Believe me I know from personal experience, and live it each day! But, i've learned that whatever comes, the Lord will give me strength to carry on! We do need ME time to be able to carry the load! Hugs to YOU!

12500Sounds like a perfect plan to ME. I have to have time to recharge frequently, especially after taking care of small grandchildren who demand total concentration on their activities! I do love that part of my life and time with my DH, too.

Well, I am not fully charged, but I am better, today. I take care of Avery and her 8 year old brother, every day after school until about 7pm. Mind you, my day starts at 5am, so I am ready for them just to go home. It doesn't mean that I don't love them, I just need quiet time. (I have also had their stepdad,some entire days this week(he had surgery for the pitutary tumor last week and couldn't be left by himself, daughter had to go back to work. And the week of his surgery, the kids stayed day and night with me, so my day started at 4:45 am AND my husband had his stress test for his heart And I work a school bus route. See why I need to RUN AWAY-lol-Toogie

Thank you, it was. No hurry to get anywhere, no one to serve/ wait on. I didn't want to come home. I am a person, or I used to be, that enjoyed my own company. I never could understand people that said they were bored.I could always find something to sew, crochet, cross st by hand(b4 machine), read, etc. Now my days need more than 24 hours, for ME to have any of that time again. It does me so much good to hear from other understanding Cuties.-T

740337Happy Anniversary, Toogie and Hubby. You didn't say how many years? Talking of eateries being closed on Sundays, when we used to go out for the day with the children we would keep our picnic for tea-time as we found everywhere closed, Sunday tea-time, just when we were hungry and getting nowty and this saved the day many a time.

78093I love 'ME' time. Some days my husband and I hardly see each other. He is in his study (or playing golf or tennis) and I am in my sitting/ sewing room. I am very happy in my own company. Don't get me wrong - I love sitting with my husband in the evenings either reading or watching television.
Many congrats on your anniversary. Hugs Sarah.

Oh Sarah, I like being by myself too, so glad you said that. B/4 grandkids and his retirement, I would have ME time. I don't want to sound 'terrible'.-T
253107Sometimes you have to go off alone to be able to find time to then be with the person you want to be with. Hubby and I did that last year and felt more relaxed after having done our own things first. Congratulations!!
