My current "ME" time

As silly as this sounds... some days my "me" time is doing laudry in the nice quiet, cool basement. No dogs, no Noah. Just me and the fresh clean scent of the laundry!!! Now that's only 15 minutes at a time... but on a really bad day, that's 15 minutes of deep breathing and uninterupted thought!
I also quilt at the kitchen table, so it's me time but I'm still available to my family :) Also, planting flowers, picking weeds.... and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Special mom's dinner each month. Not only is it me time, but it also allows me to connect with other moms who share the same types of frustrations! And it's great to just laugh!
Sometimes I will put headphones on and listen to music at my PC while I do email or blog or get info for lessons... I totally consider that me time - but it's productive me time. I think that's where my biggest challenge is, I have a hard time carving out "me" time that isn't Productive. When I'm sewing I'm producing something, and then there's laundry - and listening to music. So maybe I'm not such a great example???? My hubby travels a lot and sometimes works long hours so it's tough to take classes that I'm interested in becuase of the inconsistency. OH - the library! Noah goes off to play at the library and I'm able to sit in the quiet area and read - that's definitely ME time!
