My DH plays basketball every Tuesday night. So, even though I feel kind of wierd about it, I have decided that I too am going to dub one night a week for "me time". My local scrapbooking store has a crop every Friday night from 6-Midnight and My Mom and I are going to start doing it weekly.
How many of you ladies have a "girls night out/ do whatever you want" night every week? Do also schedule a couples night also? Is DH supportive?(Mine has been trying to get me to take some "me" time for years. I think because he feels guilty because he does. )
Answer:
this is the first year I had alone time due to kids being in school. I have 2 hours. I do get alone time for other things, but this is the first time I don't have to have someone watch the kids so I can do something. I have been declutering with my free time. I hope to do something more fun next year as I will have about 4 days with 2-3 hours free.

Answer:
I was just thinking about this! My DH and I are expecting our first child at the end of August. Right now he coaches soccer on Tuesday and Thursday and plays in an indoor soccer league on Monday and Friday (so I have lot's of me time until the baby comes). I'm pretty sure I can convince him to give up either Monday or Friday night games so that I can have one night of "me time" (without it being on Wednesday since it is the only night we are both home all evening). Of course, then I have to figure out what I would do!
Everyone needs a little time to treat themselves each week!
Answer:
I do! I think it's a great idea and you shouldn't feel even a little bad. I play BUNKO one night a month, go to MOM's Club Mom's Night Out once a month, scrapbook with friends once a month (though it doesn't always happen) and go to book club once a month so it usually works out to once a week. My parents also babysit every Wednesday night so sometimes those event fall on Wednesday, otherwise I spend Wednesday with dh. Tonight I don't have anything going on so we are trying a great new restaurant. Dh bowls on Wednesday from September to April so I love those summer nights when he's off bowling and we can go out together and sit on a patio somewhere.
So some Wednesday work out as "couple" time. During the bowling season, I sometimes go hang out down there with him. Even though my parent's are near, my kids LOVE having a babysitter so we get one once a month or so and go out to dinner.
My husband is INCREDIBLY supportive of me getting out by myself, especially this time of year when he golfs like crazy! He has several golf weekends (including one in CA) he keeps bugging me to make plans for a night or two away. He took the kids to the cabin by himself to give me a shopping weekend a couple weeks ago and it was wonderful!
Answer:
I don't have any scheduled event that takes place but I always can get time to myself when I need it. Really I get too much alone time since dh is gone so much. He is fine with me doing things for me, he encourages me to do what I want.
Of course this will likely change after the baby comes!
Answer:
Not one second....
Answer:
Dh lets me go whenever I want to he actually makes sure of it. I have a high stress job, so he makes sure I destress weekly!
I July I get to destress for 5 whole days I am so excited!!!
Answer:
Once in a great while I will meet up with a friend for dinner but I do get to go work out 3x a week I love that time to myself.
Answer:
Dh goes out too much for me to have "me time" and he says I get it all the time!! (I get 2 hours MAYBE 3 times a week ) while dd is at preK!! but soon I loose that!! and well Im cleanin house or running errands while she is gone!! so that ME time is nice but Its doing too much and not for me!!
Answer:
I haven't done it for a few weeks now, but I was going out and playing Bingo every Tuesday night for a couple hours.
