About 10 days ago, I posted a challenge. You can read it again here, but basically I challenged you to purposely schedule an activity or event that is just for you.
My event? A date night with my husband (long over due by the way). We saw a great movie, Fireproof and had dinner. No kids. Ahhhh.
So, I'm wondering, is this a hard one for Moms to do?
--It's hard, but not impossible.
--It's hard, but so important.
Think of this an invitation. Permission to give back to yourself.

I can schedule and follow through with many events as long as my little man is included in the event. It's the events that Anthony and I try to enjoy that are not kid included that get hard. Neither of our parents live near us, so the babysitting issue is a hard one to tackle.
I find it very hard to schedule something just for me, unless it's getting my hair cut or something practical like that. I need to work on this, apparently!
My event takes place tonight. I'm going out by myself to go to the library for peace and quiet.
Oooh, I've heard such good things about that movie, but since I live in the middle of nowhere, it's not playing anywhere around here, I'll have to rent it.
This may not be much but I go to Borders Cafe or Barnes and Nobles, get the largest latte with whip cream and some other yummy topping, grab my favorite magazines, find a fatty chair and read magazines for a long while, sometimes I a large chocolate chip cookie with that latte! That's one way I get some me time.
