Is it wrong of me that I really enjoy my Friday afternoons without my husband?
I'm off at 1 on Fridays (Have I mentioned that before? It seriously kicks ass) and for a few weeks, before the hubby started a new job, we spent Friday afternoons together - we'd go out for lunch, run errands, shop, etc. It was great. It was like a whole extra day on the weekend.
But now he's back at work until 5 on Fridays, and Daphne flies solo. I spend my time doing... whatever I want. I pick up some groceries on the way home, cook, watch tv, bake cakes for the 3 billion Spring birthdays in our families, read, catch up on last week's episode of JPod... anything and nothing.
Don't get me wrong: I love spending time with my husband - he's my best friend, he's absolutely amazing, and almost a year into the marriage, I couldn't be happier. But, I really do like having just a few hours to myself each week (time that isn't spent at work or in the bathroom).
Is that wrong?

Of course not. Everyone needs 'me' time, time to be alone, think, relax, be independent and just unwind. I've never understood why married people or serious relationship people often seem to feel guilty about it. Probably because I've never been married or in a serious relationship.
I just feel bad because he says he really misses our Friday afternoons together - and I'm secretly happy that he's at work :) Selfish, sure. But whatever.
