ME Time

What is "me time"?

Madea, a character from Tyler Perry's genius of a mind, argues with her daughter in a scene in "Madea Goes To Jail", about Cora needing "me time". I am a HUGE Tyler Perry fan, and encourage anyone to check out his movies, especially he Madea movies.

For me, I made a resolution with myself a few years ago that I would remember to take a few minutes a day to myself. I'm not always successful. Up until this summer, my "me time" has usually been my shower time. And oh how amazing it has been (until this summer) for every other weekend, I get to take an uninterrupted long shower and just enjoy the relaxing sound of the water, and not hearing "Mooooomm!" every two or three minutes. By the way, I've actually come to miss this.

My goal for this summer was for me to make my time away from Katie to work on me and become a better mom and person. I have been less than successful at doing much more than working and sleeping-unless I have Katie.

 I'm so excited that I finally get a few minutes of "Me time" tomorrow. A local salon posted on their Facebook page that they had an opening tomorrow morning and would love to give someone a FREE facial. So, after work, I'm getting my very first facial, and it's free. Of course I'll give a tip, etc. But I'm so excited! I'll be sure to post tomorrow how it went, before/after pics and all the details.
