How do you pamper yourself?
You know that taking care of yourself is an important part of taking care of the rest of your family. We want to know how you do it. So tell us what little luxuries you indulge in.

This may sound corny!  Though I dream of just one night in a luxury hotel suite all by myself, where I can go to the bathroom or shower uninterupted, I opt for something much more domestic.  Occasionally I am able to sneak out to the grocery store ALONE!  I usually have to do it late at night and drive 30 minutes to the nearest all-night grocery store.  I go up and down every aisle, browsing and reading labels or even joking with the staff.  My husband isn't throwing things int he cart we don't need and our budget doesn't allow for, and the kids aren't asking for this and that.  By the time I get home, the kids are fast asleep and if I'm lucky, so is hubby.  That means I can't clean or I'd wake them all.  So, I get a little TV time without having hubby hogging the remote or having to watch dad & the kids playing PS2.

quiet time in a nice warm bubble bath is the best!

I used to go to a spa or take a warm bath while reading a book.  Now I'm happy just to take an uninterupted nap.

I pamper myself by indulging in a bubble bath, with soft music and just letting my cares drift awway and the family knows to stay out!

I find a way to take a leasurely walk around the neighborhood.  Preferably early in the morning before everyone is awake on the weekend.

The pampering that I gift to myself is trip to get a pedicure.  It is nice to just sit there and think of nothing for a while, possibly with a magazine.

I go to the library.  There is nothing like being surrounded by books - all kinds!- and peace and quiet!

I just want a couple of hours alone to get into a good book.  That is how I pamper myself.
