    Lets make a pact ladies!

    In regards to my post of "what do you do for yourself"! I would like to encourage all you great, "giving to others and putting yourself last" ladies .....this weekend, DO something for yourself, get out of the house alone, buy yourself something nice, watch a great chic flick, buy a good book, get a mani peti or massage, go to lunch with a friend, buy that "thing" you want but don't need for yourself.....just "treat" yourself, rejuvinate and come back on Monday to share with the others how great it was!!!!!! Have a GREAT friday, and even better weekend. I will get a mini makeover tonight, with highlights and maybe even get wild and have my brows done too, then i will take a nice long walk through the woods to take in the beauty of this wonderful winter wonderland before it all melts away! Go out and do something relaxing, exciting, rejuvinating! Have fun finding the "lost" you!!!!!!!!!

    Great idea! I've been feeling frumpy, lethargic, tired and just blah recently too. I need this! I just booked a one hour massage for myself for Sunday And I may just take myself out for a coffee afterward Can't wait to hear what everyone else is doing!

    Well said! I'm enjoying the snow here, as it has given me the day off I have been sitting on my arse most of the day instead of getting up and catering to everyone else. Ahhhhh.....

    Fantastic idea. You rock!
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    You must have great families! All mine still made it...and will probably be late to pick up because of the weather Plus I have my son home from school because buses were cancelled...makes for a long, tiring day!

    Oh I so agree!!! I've actually managed to talk my 7 year old into quietly reading (gasp!) in his room for a bit!

    You are so right Kidlove Today we are having a snow day and I have 1 child today (teachers child.......aren't the schools closed in the GTA? Hmmm) Anyway, what have I been doing? D/C paperwork and snow clearing............ so yes, I will take the challenge and do something for me this weekend. Will report back on Monday with hopefully a tale of bliss. LOL

    I agree ~ we need to take care of ourselves body, spirit and soul otherwise eventually we have nothing to give others anyway!

    We just got a family membership to the Y so I plan on having some 'me' time at an Aquafit class tomorrow morning while the men go work out with the weights ... trying to get some meat on my stepson so we do not need to worry about him blowing away in a wind storm poor thing is such a string bean!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    I wish I could. My husband had surgery last Wednesday and can't help out around the house or pick up the kids for a few weeks. I am taking care of him, our kids, and the house no time for me. But as soon as he is back to work (in 8 weeks) I get a day to myself.
    I am thinking about going to the spa
