Dear mrs Odient,
We received your letter to the Bureau of Lost Causes. We read your request for some ‘Me Time’.
We had a real good laugh.
Thanks for that.
Yours insincerely,
Saint Anthony of Padua, head of Bureau of Lost Causes
… and I’ll smile if I want to! Nine years ago today, after a punishing heatwave and five weeks of Summer Vacation spent all alone with four children*, I gave birth to my youngest son Pete. Secretly I had been hoping he might just fall out, keeping the labor easy and light, but no such…
Everyone has them: odd habits. Mine is to take a giant leap every time I want to lie me down to sleep. I start out in the hall way, push off in our bedroom, and jump with all my might into our bed. I háve to do this, you understand. Otherwise the monster beneath our…
My morning coffee means a lot to me. It’s a moment of peace. Of being quiet. Of just being present. My morning coffee I start my day with a 45 minute run. Then I do a 10 minutes meditation while hula hooping. After that I work on my blogs. My morning coffee break starts at…
‘I saw you at the store, looking at refrigerators!’ the guy at the local bakery told me. I blanched, because I had neither seen, nor noticed him, and I always worry people think I’m a snob. Which I am, so it’s hard work to avoid looking like one. So I overcompensated by telling him my…
During the day I always support my girls with a bra. But when it’s nighttime, the bra goes! My girls love to be set free. So imagine my surprise when my two daughters refused to go to bed without their little bras! They tell me it feels better to keep it on. Then I even…
I’ve got a weakness for office supplies, wallets and purses. I know this about myself, so I try to keep myself on a tight leash. Because what could one more purse add to the collection that I already own? These are my criteria for a good purse • It has to have a separate compartment…
This is too funny, love the denied stamp and that you can't have me time. I love my me time for making jewelry, snuggling with cats and eating chocolates.

Love the denied stamp. I love me time too. Thanks for linking up at Family Joy Blog Link Up party! Hope you join us often.
Hope you are able to get some me time this weekend! Thanks for sharing with #SocialButterflySunday! Hope to see you link up again this week 🙂
As a mom, I know this feeling.
Yes, me time is important!
I hope so too!
I have to say, as the little ones get older, you won't need to pull that stamp out as much. Me time get easier to have. Happy Easter. And sneak a chocolate bunny from a basket and slip away without anyone looking and enjoy.
Oh my goodness. Too true my friend. I hope that God blesses you with some time for you in the very near future! Thanks for linking up at Life is Lovely!
Oh too funny!! It took me a minute but when I picked up on it, it sure got me tickled. Thanks so much for linking up at #lifeislovely
LOL!! Me time is overrated perhaps?? JK thanks for linking up #HomeMattersParty
I don't want to believe it's overrated Crystal. I think it's as important as oxygen.
Thanks! You're giving me hope : )
I'd trade ME time for a NAP any day. Or does that fall under the me time category? Naps are a must-have, because I NEVER get enough sleep. The rest is gravy.
For me a nap is indeed the same thing : )
lol! love it! short and funny, right on!
Thank you so much for sharing this over at #bloggerspotlight link and Pin-it Party. I do appreciate it and hope to see you again!
PS: FYI, maybe it is just in my end ..I was trying to pin this but it says Pinterest couldn't find pinnable images. Tried couple of times.
