On Tuesday I was feeling a little down and cried a little bit. Every once in awhile, I just feel like being a mommy full-time, I need some time to myself. So last night I was planning to go to the grocery store to get some groceries, and DH suggested that I go to Starbucks for some "me" time. In the back of my mind I had been thinking that it might be nice to go to a movie, so I mentioned it and he said "do it!"I quickly checked the online listings and found out that the new Harry Potter movie that I wanted to see was playing in 20 minutes at a theatre 25 minutes away, so I rushed out to it. It was pretty good as a movie, though the book was definitely better. They end up having to cut out so much that I think they lose some of the "spirit" of it, though I seem to remember the book wasn't my favorite in the series either. I am looking forward to the last book in the series - which I ordered online for 30% off (I think) and it has been shipped - will hopefully get here on Monday or Tuesday.
I went to the store after the movie and managed to get home right after 11. So it worked out.
I am thankful that my husband is sensitive to the fact that I need a night to myself every one in awhile and suggested it. Thanks hon, you are a great hubby! Love you!

I've done that before too, it's so nice to go somewhere alone every once in a while. This morning I asked Mark if he minded if I took a shower while the kids were sorting Riker's marbles. He said, "hey, do you want to go for a walk first?" Uh, yeah! So I had a nice 40 minute walk and then a shower all before breakfast! I knew I felt good after that cause I actually wore a skirt today and felt a little more like "me" again!
I'm so glad you took your "me time"!
