No one talks about how much time being a wife physically takes.
My husband had been away for a week on a boys trip. So since he was back to being a boy, I decided to go back to being a girl. And ... can I say that this has been the most wonderful week I have had in a long time. This is the 'me time' which I hadn't ever had until now. It didn’t involve any planning, traveling or even another human being.
Being alone at home freed up my evenings and weekends. Once I got done with work, every single second of the remaining day was my own. In just one week I managed to squeeze in a massage and a facial, both. What a luxury! I didn't step into the kitchen to make a single thing in those 7 days, there had been zero dishes to wash, and zero loads of laundry to wash and fold. I even managed to volunteer my time for a cause (I Support The Girls), went and watched a movie at the cinemas (Chhichhore), started and finished reading four books (check: Book Reviews), binge watched S3 of GLOW on Netflix and S6 of Younger on TVLand - Phew! What a productive and fun week.
Don't tell him but I am actually looking forward to his next trip. Ha! :)
Ah that sounds like fun !!! :) Now am wondering if I should send my husband , son and dog on a trip ���� ( they can call it boys trip I don’t care )
ReplyDeleteI would highly, highly recommend it. There is something special about having the whole home to yourself (for a short time).
DeleteSounds funn! I'm getting 3 days to myself that im now (after reading this) looking forward to :D
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you got some me time in. Self care is so important and so relaxing. Hope you get to do it again in the future soon!
ReplyDeleteMine was traveling a lot for work last year, ahhh! Such lovely days of yogurt for dinner and overnight hair masks.
ReplyDeletePlus I figured I like not talking and not wearing pants at home. TMI. haha
what a nice post as a wife and mother of three I for sure understand where a little me time can be helpful!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun. Although you should totally make this part of your life already if you enjoyed it! No reason not to :)
ReplyDeleteHaving me time is the best! It's really the best time to take care of yourself!

That sounds like one fantastic week, if you ask me! My husband goes on a business trip once a month, and for an entire week I get some much-needed "me time." But usually it's just reading and watching and maybe a night with a friend. I still gotta cook and clean and do laundry though haha. Loving these fun, sassy, and smiley photos!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing, glad you got some much needed YOU time!! Love your outfit too, the color is so pretty!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!

This sounds like a wonderful week! My husband is a high school soccer referee so in the beginning months he's busy almost every night. This week is that kind of week! It's a break plus I get to work on my blog stuff without feeling "guilty" that I'm not spending time with him. <3
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm impressed with everything you were able to get done in such a short time. I LOVED season 3 of glow I think it was the best one yet!

I love it!! When my SO travels for work, it's so nice to have the apartment all to myself and not have to worry about anyone else!

ReplyDeleteSounds like you had some much needed YOU time! I always love when I get days like that. I always feel so refreshed!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! It is so important to find time for yourself always! xoxo sarah
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Sometimes you need time to yourself
ReplyDeleteDays of positive self-care is a must for every person especially for a wife with kids. I can tell. It is refreshing and brings new vibe to the daily life.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the best week ever! I sometimes like when I'm even alone with the kids because its one less "kid" to worry about!
ReplyDeleteGIrl, what a lovely week! A facial and massage would be amazing right now.

That second photo is so cheeky -- I love it! Any time you don't have to clean, cook or do laundry is a good time. I think I'll go see a movie this weekend while the significant other is away.

Sometimes a little R&R and "me time" is exactly what we all need!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got exactly what you needed! I love getting massages and facials!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and exciting week for you! I love treating myself to a massage every now and then.
