Hoggirl Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ds is having several teeth extracted on Friday morning. We are doing no school that day. It's odd, b/c when he gets sick (which is rare anyway), it's unexpected. This is like an anticipated sick day. I think he will be fine, so I will pretty much be piddling around the house all day. However, I don't want to sloth about ALL day. So, how would you best use a free day? ETA: But, I don't want to LEAVE the house in case he needs me. I think this was understood, but maybe not! So, I will be home ALL day once we get back from the oral surgeon's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I would clean a closet. If you finish one, then move on to the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would devote a few hours to cooking up a few big batches of meals that freeze well, plus bread, muffins, etc., for days when you have less time on your hands. Then I'd curl up with a pot of tea and a good book:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom0012 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If I were feeling motivated, I would take on a project like reorganizing a closet or two. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicki Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would probably catch up on cleaning and when I finished that I would read. God bless, Vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Forget being productive. Curl up on the couch with a good book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrina Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 What's the last thing you thought to yourself "I am so behind, I'll never get to _______" and then do that. If it's a book it's a book. If it's a closet it's a closet. If it's shaving your legs, then by all means..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Perhaps write a list of things you could do, including taking a nap or watching a good movie together (as well as all the "productive" stuff :) , and then see what you actually feel like doing on the day.

kalanamak Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If I'm alone, I bag up Goodwill stuff hubby has dragged home and which he will NEVER miss. If I'm under watchful eyes, I cook meals ahead, while sticking a long series of art supplies in front of kiddo and dream about stuffing Goodwill stuff into bags.Then I invent a "field trip" for the boys ("I need some pond scum for homeschool science"), pack them off with sandwiches and THEN bag up Goodwill stuff and rush it off to a store he has hit recently and is not likely to visit again soon. This is only a mild exaggeration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
