Sleep.

Can I select all of the above?

definately sleep.

I choose sleep too. I was a seriously committed "napper" before having little ones, and it's one of the few things that I miss.

With 2 kids in car seats, I definitely love to do errands alone, which I sometimes do on Saturdays when my husband takes the kids for a few hours. I do things that the kids don;t like doing- bookstore, mall, Home Depot. I am lucky that I have 2 kids that love grocery shopping so I don't have to fight the crowds on the weekends.

If I had a few hours in the house alone, I'd finish up some sewing projects - so I guess that counts as me time. But inevitably what happens is I spend that time cleaning the house because having a house makes me feel better.

*Edited to add* having a CLEAN house makes me feel better.

Man, a couple of hours EVERY WEEK?! I'm soooo jealous. You can actually choose. One week clean, the next run errands, the next chill out. I get free time so rarely that anytime I do I am paralyzed with indecision about what to do. It seems so precious I can't waste it!

Right now, our babysitter has our daughter out of the house while I'm staying home and cleaning. I've come to realize that having a clean and tidy home significantly impacts my mood and emotional state, and using free time to clean has an effect that lasts much longer than 2 hours of "me time". Of course, we have the luxury of regular baby sitting, so I'm able to clean when the house needs it and have me time when I need it.

I'm always torn between 2 and 3. I WANT the alone time, but I know how much I could accomplish errands-wise without kids, so I always try to combine a bit and not rush with the errands and also include a bit of time with a cup of tea and a book.

Sleep is always my first choice. But a close second is eating a leisurely, uninterrupted lunch. It's so rare that I can just sit quietly and eat.

Running errands without baby!

I would use the bathroom without an audience (my toddler) and then take a nap!

Wednesdays are my big "sans baby" days. I leave the house in the morning while baby and daddy are still sleeping, go do an hour of Pilates, then head to my mom's house to help with her web marketing. It's less work, and more girl time.

Shopping isn't a problem yet, we frequent Target.

I'd go on a date with my hubby.

definitely time to myself or time with my husband!

If it's during the day I try to go to the gym. Or shopping. Maybe gardening if the weather is nice. Night time: glug glug glug

Once a week our babysitter takes both my kids for a couple of hours. I go for a good run and/or yoga practice, then come home and frantically clean and scrub the house as quickly and energetically as I can. In just three hours without toddler and newborn I can run 5k, stretch, clean entire apartment, shower and get dressed, and be sitting on couch with a coffee in a silent clean house for a full 5 minutes before they come home. It's absolute heaven. And I justify the expense of the sitter because the running and yoga practice at home is free. Best $ spent all week.

I can't believe #1 is really an option. That's sad. I would definitely go out for a scrumptious/peaceful lunch, yoga, or try on clothes that I have no intention of buying at the mall :)

#1 is an option because it's the sad truth...

While I do sometimes do "me" things when I'm alone, I usually choose to clean. My kiddo's old enough (4) I can kick her out of the bathroom for a relaxing bath or let her play outside while I read on the porch or have her play in her room while I sew, but cleaning? For some reason this spawn all sorts of "Mommy, I need..." "Mom come look at this!" or the constant cries of "I'm hungry" (after consuming a grown man's full day's food before 11 am). I don't really know why...is this just my child or do others have this problem?
