Finally...A Moment to Myself!!!

dfinster i know just what you mean my family has gone water skiing today and i will have the whole day to myself i go my housework as i go evenso the peace and quiet is so nice i only wished it happened more often and there is no better place to spend it than in mylot with friends

When i get me time, i usually do a little bit of cleaning, come on MyLot for a while, and talk to some friend that i otherwise don't get a quiet moment to chat with. I also usually take some time to pamper myself in the bath or shower and sometimes pick up a book, I love me time, I wish i could get some soon. Glad you got time for yourself, i think it's necessary for your sanity haha.

I have to laugh about this for two reasons, first, a couple of weeks ago my mother in law took our son for the night so that my wife and i could have some mommy daddy time. LOL we sat there for a couple of minutes before we decided what to do, and were just quiet. it was that...what did we do before Daemon again? And later that night, my wife got excited when we BOTH went into the convenience store. things like that before were nothing, but now those moments are fun. But my wife is the same way as you, at night when our son is in bed and before i get home from work she enjoys her quiet time to pick up the house and play on the computer. Or just read a book without insanity raging around. Personally, I play video games after he goes to sleep. that's my quiet time release. LOL

Im glad you had some alone time for yourself. Yes its a nice feeling I agree. Some times we have to take some time out and pamper ourselves. We deserve it.

I too like having time to myself without interuptions. I find even if I explain to my family that if they keep interupting it will take me twice as long to get whatever I am trying to do done, they just don't get it. I can't say the children are any worse then the husband, either, they are all happy to interupt non-stop.If I am by myself it depends on a lot of other factors, sometimes I will take the dog for a long walk and not have to worry about stopping or moving the kids along. I might do a little gardening without having to stop and help others with whatever they are working on. Using the computer uninterupted is great, too. Sometimes, I'll even take a quick cat nap, because even as little as 15 minutes can work wonders!

I hear you loud and clear....a moments peace is like winning the lottery sometimes.

I love to be alone most of the time. I guess I am a bit of a hermit. But, I would not want to be alone all the time or I would be too lonely.

I know the feeling. It is sometimes good to be alone. Although I love being with my husband and daughter, I can get more done on my own. At the moment, it is difficult to get time on the computer, let alone My Lot, because my husband is on shift work. This means he is home when I want to use the computer. PLus, my daughter uses the computer for neopets, or to do her homework. But I wouldn't want to be alone too often.

When I get alone time, I love to read books and go online. I sometimes enjoy a movie I watch just me and me. I also love to catch up on some writing and such. Sleeping is nice too but I do it more often now cause I lack sleep and I'm sick. I love alone times though they are truly nice as spending time with other people is. We all need some time for ourselves each day. I recommend we all find some time in each day to do something for us, alone just you and you and none else.

Like you, I rarely get time to myself-- I always have at least one kid with me. But when i DO get tme alone, I like to shop, read or write. I can clean with my kids around-- they don't mess things up too much. Oh, and uninterrupted Mylot time is always nice, too!

Time alone, I can't even remember what that is!! My favourite thing to do is curl up on couch watching a good movie, with a big bowl of popcorn and a glass of coke. And have absolutely no interruptions - no phone calls, no dog barking, no baby crying, no knocking on the door. These days though, any time I get usually gets spent cleaning/washing/ironing/all those boring but essential tasks.

If only I could have that moment lol.I have 2 little ones and I havent had a night or even 30 minutes alone to myself in a long long time. So, to be honest, I wouldnt even know what I would do if I did have that time. But congrats to you on your free time, I know you enjoyed it! =)

My family is a big family so I don't have much alone time.If I have alone time,then I will have a cup of coffee for myself,and sit on the sofa to watch CD that I like very much,or listen to music and read a favoite novel,which is enough for me.heheeeeee

Ya, I think are you are really thankful for it, and I can feel your joy. I used to have a lot of time alone in the house but I was unable to appreciate it until the recent week I was at my sis place to help look after my niece for a week. Once I stepped into the house after work, my time would be spent in the room with my niece such that I am unable to have even 5 minutes of peace. She would follow me whereever I go. The only time I have for myself is only after she slept, and by then it would be midnight. I would be very drained. Luckily, its only 2 more days to go. I would regain my freedom next week and I know I would appreciate my time alone to do things I wanted to but definitely not to do housecleaning :P

i will relax myself in bed when i have time alone by myself... i will also play computer and watch DVD... or else, i will go out and do shopping by myself... i really enjoy it very much those uninterrupted times i have by myself...

oh yess..i know what your talking about lol..I clean all day from the time Sky goes to school..and then when hes home we do his homework,,then play alot..have supper..read some..play more..then clean up again..by the end of the day i really look foward to my time on mylot..and chatting with friends..

I party... When everyone leaves. I get out my drum and dance all over the house. Then I listen to my hard rock music, then I run around and be as noisy as I can... Then I pass out for a nice looooong nap, then I get online and do all the stuff I never can focus on doing and get through all those petitions, and emails, as fast as I can... then I go back to partying and dancing, and then catch up on some more sleep. - DNatureofDTrain

A little bit of peace and quiet is precious and to be treasured. I like to be able to do what I like when I like, not always easy though is it. If I do get the time in the evening then I like to curl up with a good book and relax.

Yeah!! congratulation OK

I know how you feel I long for me time also I have a 2year old always following me around all day long.when I do get alone time I like to finish up things on my to do list to make my next day or week easier to manage.But sometimes I just lay down and take a quick nap.
