Never Want to Go to Bed
I'm not talking about my kids either. Although they never want to go to bed either. I never want to go to bed. I'm tired and I need more sleep but somehow I can't make myself go to bed any early. My kids go to bed at 8pm. From 8pm until I go to sleep is my time. It is my time to relax, blog, web surf, read, hang out with my hubby, and watch adult tv. I'm not talking about watching porn but simply programs that I wouldn't let the kids watch like True Blood. But if I wanted to watch porn that is when I'd watch it too. Anyway, there is just not enough time in the day to taking care of the kids, dog, and house and take care of myself. I really need another 2 hours in each day so I could have a little more me time.

I am the same way. Only my kids are older and are going to bed no earlier than 11 this summer!
I am very fortunate in that my MIL takes Violet nearly every Saturday night. It saves my sanity.
The only way I've been able to find that time is by going to bed too late.
Yep. I think that's the only way. Sadly, my kids are staying up really late this summer so my me time is almost non-existent.
Ahh....True Blood...I've read every book and watch the show. Eric. *sigh* Books are better though lol
It always involves less sleep, and I hate that !
I do the same thing. I know that I should go to bed, but I keep sitting at the computer or watching tv or reading until I just can't keep my eyes open any longer. It's a bad habit, but I really enjoy my "me" time.
I stay up late as well, because, yeah, that seems like the only time for me time. Also, I don't want to go to sleep, because when I wake up, I have to go to work. I don't like my job outside my home at the moment.
OH that used to be my life. Kids in bed at 8 pm and then my time. But alas I now have teenagers who stay up longer than me. There is no more quiet time. So I stay up even later trying to find some.
I waited for my kids to become teenagers and I got more time for me, lol. The only problem is, like Debbie, above, they don't go to bed til late. Later than me! Sooooo I wake up early! It's wonderful ME time!
My little one (almost 6) is home all day, so I had to start "Quiet Time." For about a half hour after lunch, we each go to our room and be quiet. It was a terrible fight at first, but for the most part, I can now sneak in some me time and the smallest of naps each day. Well worth the effort.
Same way here. Even though it is summer time and 'the sun is still up'
her excuse to stay up later, we still do our best to get her to bed by 8p. After that it is MY time!! I love the girl to death but somedays I want her in bed way earlier than that! There's just not enough hours in the day!
I get me time for a couple hours every other Monday. I found a sitter in our homeschool community who Princess adores. I would love more, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Oh...and Princess and I go to bed at the same time...and we co-sleep. Sometimes she falls asleep first though.
I hear ya girl - thankfully my hubby sees the benefits (for all of us) if I get a little extra 'mommy time' so he takes full charch of the boys for at least 2 hours one day a week (usually on the weekends) in which I can do whatever I please - it's wonderful. Sometimes he takes the boys out and I can have a quiet house, or he'll stay home with them and I'll go out shopping or to a coffee shop with wi-fi. It's so nice knowing that time is there so when I get to feeling stressed I can re-focus knowing that soon enough I'll get a little retreat.
Usually once a month I take a WHOLE day off - and every few months I'll go on an overnighter with a few of my friends. Planning well in advance makes it happen. :)
