I am totally guilty of not utilizing my me time very well and I suffer for it. that's a great idea to go to the movies alone, haven't done that since before marriage! Hudson is adorable in that pic, I didn't realize he had those dimples. so precious! and I am glad you had so many supporters re: courtney. pls dont' let it bother you. I think being infertile (I am, secondarily) makes you want it so bad, that you become blinded to what is realistic (like me time) b/c you are so sensitive. It was prob easy for her to lash at you since she doesn't know you and it wasn't face to face.(I bet she doesn't even read regularly, b/c if she was familiar, she would know how wrong she is) in her real life, she prob just holds it all in, and unfortunately, took it out on you. A lot of people with infertility get really bitter and resentful of people with babies. BUT its not your fault she is infertile. I was really looking fwd to reading all the comments on this post.

Hehe, so true about Target. I also like to go for a run or get a bit of gym time in, or bake something! :) I love those options! Hehe, so true about Target.

And hugely looking forward to the me time I'll get tonight at a Junior League meeting. Guess that makes me a terrible mother since I should spend every waking second tending to my boy! ;-) On a non-sarcastic note, love that pic of Hudson! Such a cute outfit.

But Target is probably 2nd. I love your comment about the $100 "cover charge." So true! Ha! Reading is my favorite thing to do when I get a moment alone. But Target is probably 2nd.

I watched TV on DVD, painted my nails, and ate something really unhealthy. It was wonderful to relax, unwind, and not "do" anything of importance for a few hours. LOVE IT! I just had a “me” morning.

Netflix is one of my few ways to unwind right now (long story, blah unemployment, financial crisis, blah), and I'm always trying to figure out what to watch next. I know you get tons of comments and emails, but I'd love to know which ones you've enjoyed! Ooh, I’m so curious about what three shows you’ve watched on Netflix!

Negative attitudes towards a mother wanting a little time for herself is what creates that mommie guilt that we struggle with each and every day. Mothers today actually give so much more of their time to children than ever before, so it it necessary for a mom to have some time for herself. You can't continue to give and give to everyone else, no matter how much you love your child, you have to have some time to refresh, regroup and get back in touch with all of the things life has to offer. Moms that don't do that are typically the ones I see that struggle the most with motherhood. That being said, bring on book club and Erin you are an awesome mother. Keep doing what you're doing.

I hope you won't let this little big of negativity get to you. Your posts are always so entertaining and insightful. Today's was no exception! I enjoy your blog and always look forward to the next post. Can't wait for the book club! :) Erin,

I am new to it, so I am slow, but I really enjoy it! Also, I love cooking and baking when I have the time.
