Q.O.D. 4/08

Oh I have to say nails Too (Kim) and I to have to take my 4 and 9 yr old and sometimes I would rather stay home ....

I guess I do stuff for myself a lot....no kids, hubby doesn't care too much what I do. I feel more guilty spending the $$ BUT I really have more than I could ever need or want. I have nice things....so how much more can I really do for myself? I guess going to school to change careers is for me. But it is also for our future and kids/flexibilty of schedules. I kinda do what I want, when I want... Hubby and I have a lot of free time from each other and don't require tons of "together time" so I never feel like I can't do what I want (within reason!). I don't go out and make big purchases without his input but will do smaller shopping "sprees" without worry. I don't feel guilty when I spend $ on skin care/make up products. I am WORTH IT to quote L'OREAL! I suppose at this point in my life I can be fairly selfish all I want! Might as well enjoy it while I can. And before my hubby came along and while we were dating I shopped and went out whenever I wanted.....so I had a good 10 yrs without anyone "telling me what to do" and got in plenty of ME ME ME ME!

I consider my daily walks to be "just for me" so I did that last night. I do walk with a friend most of the time and it is our "chat time" as well...and it was really fun last night as I'd been gone a few days so it was good catch up time. I plan to go walk here in about an hour as I can't go with my friend this evening due to some other plans. I just LOVE walking, esp. in the nice weather we've had recently. Jenni

Hi Jackie... its the old "GMTA" syndrome... think it might have something to do with us being texans?!?!?!?!? good possibility... the last time i did something just for me was to play bingo... i am addicted to the game... i love it... doesnt matter if i win... i just enjoy the game and the people there... kinda tired tonite... my mom is staying with me for a few days -- she had cataract surgery on her right eye and all seems well... then in two weeks she will have the other onw done... i am so glad it went well... she is 70 and if it had meant she couldnt continue to drive, she would be sooooo lost. if you have a second or two, could you keep her in your prayers that all continues to go smoothly and she heals with no scarring.. hope you have a great nite's sleep... sorry even too tired to put all the little critters up will do better tomorrow... had to at least wave byeeeeeeeeee sunny

Good question Jackie, The only answer I can come up with is finally taking the step's to making this surgery happen. Although I'm just beginnig, It's the best thing I can do for myself at this time, Oh yeah, I can't forget the fact that I'm finally in college after 20 plus year's. Eve
