Blueridge Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I am alone today! Dh took dd18 to college, and the youngers with him to work, and will take them to afternoon dental appointments...so I have the house all to myself. So far I've exercised and made my breakfast...now what? I am never alone lol. We disconnected the satellite last week :tongue_smilie: so I can't watch TV. I do have Netflix, though. I don't have an craft projects to work on. I have absolutely no money, so I cannot go anywhere or buy anything online. All I can think of is house chores. :tongue_smilie: Please give me some ideas so I can have a nice day and not waste it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Read? I would cuddle on the couch or in bed and read and doze my day away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Isn't this sad...that I have actually started a *to do* list! Read is now at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2l&j Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Exercise? I prefer working out when no one is around. Netflix has exercise videos. Definitely read! Organize something. (I recently did my underwear drawer and it makes me happy every morning. Crank up the radio and do housework to the music you love. (I did this yesterday when the kids were gone. It was nice to have a clean house when they came home.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yep, I did my Chalean Extreme right after they left this morning, so I'm good! I like the organizing idea...and there are so many, many things around here that need it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy_overman Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 De-clutter a room? I love to get rid of toys, and such when the kids are not around. p.s. I am so jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PentecostalMom Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I am so jealous. So very, very jealous ... :D :iagree: Since little ds was born, there is no.time.alone.EVER! Well, okay, 15 minutes in the shower and five on the pot, does that count? He is my little buddy! Enjoy your day. I would spend it putzing around on the computer, reading magazines, maybe taking a walk outside if the weather is nice. I may even purge or clean something of mine, say my closet!

mom2l&j Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Yep, I did my Chalean Extreme right after they left this morning, so I'm good! I like the organizing idea...and there are so many, many things around here that need it lol. Sorry, I missed that part. ;) Oh, I might write a nice little letter to DH. I would let him know exactly how much I appreciated the day to myself. I would also hope this would encourage it to happen again in the future.

JudoMom Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm alone today, and will be cleaning, grading, and reading the Classical Writing manuals. Do I know how to party or what?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonshineLearner Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 White Collar is a nice Netflix series. I'd pick a series and have fun watching.. :) (and eat, and dose, and do something else like pick up yarn or work on my laptop :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks for your ideas! To show you how pathetic I am, so far I have: ~changed my sheets ~started laundry ~made chicken salad ~fed the neighbor's dog ~held the cat ~watched all sorts of Turbo Fire and P90X online samples to try and decide which one I will get at tax time So, that's it! It's almost 1:00 and I have to get hopping! It's about 50 degrees here, so maybe I'm up for a short walk outside. Maybe. I plan to make a big pot of coffee that I don't have to share ;), paint my toenails while I watch a movie, and then listen to some podcasts while I fold laundry lol. Or maybe I'll just raid the chocolate stash so I won't have to share that, either! It has been nice emailing my hubby through the morning. He's planning our beach weekend in March!! Y'all have a great day. I could get addicted to this time off. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
