"Me Time"

I need some ME time. How often have you heard that? I remember the first time I heard another wife say that. As a newlywed, with my adorable little pregnant belly, I couldn't IMAGINE not wanting to spend time with my husband! Now, fast forward 10 years to last weekend. I IM'd my husband from work to inform him that I'd hired a sitter for the evening. I also informed him that we'd be going out for sushi, and that I'd had this night planned all week. Why didn't I tell him, you ask? Well, because we hardly get a chance to talk some days! With four baseball games, dance class, two church events, doctor appointments, and work, where does communicating fit in? But really, (and no offense to my man) the night really wasn't about me having time with him. I just needed a break from the kids, the house, the mess, the laundry, the dishes, the list that goes on and on! I wasn't looking to "reconnect" or "rekindle" or for any romance in any way, shape or form...I just wanted to get OUT! Boy, that really sounds awful. It's okay. I admit it.
