[quote=Anonymous]Same here.  I'm somewhat introverted, and I have 2 very extroverted young DDs.  They LOVE to talk, and they thrive on constant activity and being on-the-go.  I also work full-time, and my situation at work has become very demanding and high-stress over the past 6 months.  DH is extremely introverted and prefers to be left completely alone, so 90% of kid/house stuff falls to me.  I'm mentally exhausted and would give just about anything for a weekend away to reset, but I can't even seem to manage an afternoon.  My parents visited for Christmas and occupied the girls for 2 hours while I ran some last-minute errands, and it was bliss to be alone in the car just running from store to store.
I love my girls more than anything, and I feel so guilty about craving time to myself before I burn out.
DH used to take our older DD out for a few hours every other weekend or so, to the playground or something similar, but he stopped doing that once our younger DD was born.  I remember loving the time and peace to curl up on the couch with a good book.[/quote]
