    My sister and her BF took my kids to the trick or treat train and I went shopping!!!! Now, I did have a ton to do at the house but I felt so relaxed to be by myself and nobody needing me. I am going to commit to that once a month. It does me wonders!!!

    Thanks for letting me share!

    Amen sister!!

    My husband committed to help me have a day off from the babies when they were very young. At first it was strange, and I only did it a couple of times a month, but now it's once a week. I use that day to grocery shop, run errands, make appointments, hike or have lunch with friends..... or somethimes just play. It's probably the best "extra" expense in out budget. I have been through a couple of people doing this for me. The first was my regular babysitter when I had my oldest son. I worked until he was 4 and she lived on our block. She begged me to let her watch the babies when they were little. She did it until she quit watching kids. Now the lady I have is someone from church. She watches kids in her home & lives near us. Most of the kids she watches are 1 day a week or drop in's & she like the other sitter only charges me for 1 1/2 kids so it's a bargain as well.

    Its funny because I started my little side business. "A Sitter in A Pinch" so moms could have some time like this.

    :good: Yay! I'm glad that you got some time to yourself! My SIL is taking the girls tomorrow so I can some stuff done around the house. I won't be relaxing but it still will be a break for me.

    YOU DESERVE IT BECKY!!! Glad you had a good morning!!! (even if you are gloating about NEB to me on IM :angry: )

    What I don't know if everyone knows about you is that you watch everyone elses kids all week long (including mine once or twice a week) and totally deserve some peace and quiet. Also, what the rest of you may not know is that Becky is beyond organized and her house is always in perfect order!

    There....I spilled your secrets! :p

    eta: Becky.... I Know how busy you are, but time to update D & M's ticker!
