No. So in order to create one, I occassionslly take off a random day during the week, DH is at work and DD is at daycare. I run a few errands and enjoy the quiet.



This is the only way...and I end up running errands for everyone so its less relaxing and more like work...

Re: Do you ever get the day just for yourself?

For the most part no. My DH works 6 days a week and I work full time. Between cooking, cleaning, laundry, taking care of DS I never really have time for myself. My one saving grace is my in-laws live in Pennsylvania so sometimes DH will take my DS up there for a weekend so I can get some time to myself other than that no.

During the summer I had a back injury and was not physically able to care for DD so she still had to go to the sitter, that was the only time...

No, but I'm also nursing so technically I can't just bounce for the day.

I do get time to myself between feedings when I need it though. My dh encourages me to go out and get my nails done, hair cut, or whatever. (obviously only when he is around to watch the baby)

Not at this point, but my baby is only 10 weeks old. I have had several hours of time to myself at once, not really for fun, but more for errands or an appointment or something I needed to take care of, during which DH or my mom watch the baby.

Yup, that's the only way to do it. I've sent DD to daycare on a day that I am already off from work (Columbus Day, for example), just so I can get stuff done or go shopping, etc. I don't do it often, but when I do, it is definitely a nice break. So much easier to get things done without a toddler in tow. The only thing is that it's never just a relaxing day. It always involves me running around, but I still enjoy the alone time.
