An Hour or Two with No Kids, What Would You Do?

I watch what I want on tv and not anything animated
I sew
I put the toys away
I cook without little fingers or little face sneezing into the food
I get online without someone on my lap
I call a friend Id like to talk to without being interupted 40 million times.

I usually read the questions/answers here! :) And then maybe catch up on a past episode of something I missed earlier in the week (or month) that I don't want my child watching.

Eat something I don't want my kids to "share", and READ. Peace and quiet!!!

Go shopping and actually be able to try the clothes on before buying them.

Install the curtain rod that has been sitting in my bedroom for 8 months

Finally get the chance to select coordinating pillows and curtains for the living room

Finish stripping the wallpaper off of our 3 bathrooms (I began doing it almost 4 yrs ago but got too busy with the kids to finish)

Take a bath and shave both legs at the same time from ankle to bikini area

Call a friend without having to stop to break up fights or discipline for screaming in the background

Finish taking down the Christmas lights--it was too icy to take them down until late March, but by then I was almost 40 wks pregnant and couldn't go up on the ladder...then I got too busy with 3 kids

Walk around Target.......or pee without having an audience of mini inspector's.

Take a walk.

I have SO little ME time, that I find it awkward even thinking about what I would do.

I dont mind though. They keep me busy. Which keeps me sane.

I love the "pee with no audience" answer.

For me fast forward many years, my only son is grown and on his own, but I had a little dog who followed me to the bathroom and did not like it if I had the nerve to close the door on him.

I am currently taking care of my son's cat and the cat does the same thing!

Kids and animals...go figure...but aren't they so worth it?

Blessings....

I am always lost when this happens to me but I always PLAN to:
get a pedicure
see a movie
go to dinner w/a friend
*What I usually end up doing is:
going for a walk by myself and tidying up around the house :)

Read a book, take a nap...anything but chores :)

Enjoy the silence. :)

Long bubble bath with a good book and then a nap afterward.
Spend too much time on mamapedia!
Go browse for purses, I am a purse-addict.
Usually I end up taking a long walk and then tidying the house since clutter makes me tired.

Get rid of toys and send them off to their next destination. I find that INCREDIBLY relaxing.

I would grab a cup of coffee on the way to get my toes done. After that, I would lay on my sofa and relax...no noise! :)

Call a friend, take a nap, write, go through pictures, have some wine with a girl friend, have some time with hubby ;)

Read, naked in bed. :o)

grab a drink patio side with some friends

Weed my flower beds
Spend some time in my hammock, snoozing
Go for a walk and dip my feet in the lake
Play the kind of music I like
Go shopping

That's all? Just 2 hours? I'd take a long bubble bath and relax.

a huge sigh of relief is always first!

Then I either curl up with a good book (& a good drink! Sometimes, it's just a glass of iced tea!) ... or I tackle my scrapbooking ... or I grab my DH (nothing better than a really good O to recharge my system!).

Moving on....good question!

I usually do some scrapbooking or digital designing stuff because I think it's fun and never have time for it.

A nap or a bubble bath.

Read, nap, watch chick flicks, do a self-pedicure, sit in the pool w/o being splashed, shop uninterrupted -

HAVE FUN! :)

Get a massage and enjoy a meal by myself!
