I do count working out as me time. Mainly because I leave LO with DH and don't have to worry about her. I think that's the only time I don't have an ear out listening for her.

I count any time I've left the house without LO. If I'm in the house and LO is hungry/tired/whatever, DH brings her to me, so I rarely get to finish a project or clean an entire room.

Working out, reading a book, getting my hair done, getting a pedicure. Some days, taking a long hot shower is my me time. I take what I can get.

I hate to consider after bedtime and grocery shopping as me time, but I kind of do.

REAL me time is going out with a girlfriend, sans bebe.

Sometimes at work I get a little down time and I count that as me time. I also take music classes and that's my most frequent me time.

I'm sure my view of me time is about to greatly change.

Those mornings (Thurs and Fri) when DH does the day are run and I get an hour to shower and get ready for work in peace, then leave the house carrying only my cute handbag. Bliss. I've got a meeting 3hrs away this Thurs though so I will only get that Friday next week - boo.

Pedicure time is me time!!! It's really the only time I can turn off my brain and really enjoy. I try to go about once a month, not only because my pedicure needs doing about that often, but because it's a great way for me to relax for only $25 or so. And it's got forced regularity built right in. I usually go after the kids are in bed. I always feel so refreshed after it.

I wish it could be a spa day, but ain't nobody got time or cash for that.

When I'm doing something and I don't have to worry about being home in time to do something (ie. pick up R from daycare, breastfeed H, make dinner, etc.)
