Last month I was discussing vacations with a coworker, and I mentioned that Chuck and I used to take real vacations - but now the only days I take off are sick days, days when daycare is closed, and the occasional long weekend for a quick family trip. He suggested I take one personal day off per month as a "me" day. I LOVED the idea, and started planning my days off right away.
Of course, the first thing I thought of was our weekend in Houston, which technically doesn't meet the criteria. Today was my personal day off for March, and while I wouldn't call it entirely relaxing, it was just what I needed. A day all to myself to catch up on life. I went to the dentist, got our taxes done, went food shopping (which is SO much easier without the husband and kiddo), got a mani and pedi, and even took a short nap.
Proof that I got a pedicure - Aurora insisted on wearing the disposable flip-flops! I look forward to the day we can go get pedicures together.
I might end up taking two days off next month. Daycare is closed April 2nd (teacher workshop?), and of course Aurora's turning TWO in April and my mom's coming to Austin for the party!!! Perhaps I'll take an actual "me" day in May...

Aw, cute foot picture! Nice nail polish color, too!
I wouldn't consider doing income tax a "me" project. Today I took a vacation day for my appointment with H&R Block, but hope to do some more fun stuff (stuff that's more fun) this afternoon. have fun, love, susanna
Don't forget about us visiting. Not that we're worth a day off. But we're coming none the less :-)
Maybe a half-day ;)
Maybe you can plan a me day in May. I still hope to take a long week end to visit, possibly Mother's Day week end if they don't raise the fares. (I would leave on Friday and return home Monday or Tuesday or leave on Saturday and return on Tues or Wed) Could you take a me day Monday May 10? Hope to check it out this week end.
