When my Daughter was six months old My Hubby saw that I needed a break ...a real break. He wanted for me to take a Mommy day and go and do what ever I wanted to do. I decided that I would spend the day by myself doing the things that I loved. I went to the movies, then a craft store and finally a book store.The weather is getting warmer....and the lazy hazy days of summer are almost here. So hypothetically speaking...lets say you have an entire day to yourself to do whatever you want...what would you do on a glorious summer day? Remember it's just you. No Kids, No spouse, no friends, No chores, and no responsibilities.
Go to the beach ?
Hangout on a hammock in the back yard?
Take a long leisurely walk?
Paint a picture?
Write a story?
Take a bubbly bath ?
spend the entire day in just your underwear?
Eat everything in sight!
Read a book from cover to cover
Catch up on all your favorite TV shows
Start a new hobby....like topiary?... and you can get back at your nosey neighbors at the same time
Dance in your living room to all your favorite songs
Or one of my personal favorites...Sleep as late as you want to!!!!!!!!!! I get to do this once a year...on Mother's day......Bliss!
Did I get most of them? Can you think of something else? I hope at least it's nice and warm where you are now! See Ya Monday! Blessings, Joanne
days to myself, or more likely afternoons, are usually spent crafting. but when it comes to spoiling myself its al trip to the hamman (turkish baths) with my mum, absolute bliss
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for the chores, each day I have is like that. Free to do exactly what I want. I sure could have used a day like that when the kids were little.
ReplyDeletewell if i still had the ability to drive i would most likely go to the movies then to my favorite book store where i would order me a large Hot Tea and browse the aisle of the books and enjoy
ReplyDeleteMy Life
Ahhh. I would sleep and read.
ReplyDeleteI would get a lawn chair, ice tea, a table and my book and sit outside and read. Then I would head to my favorite bead store and look through all the beads. Mostly I would just bum around and do nothing.

A day to myself - is it a dream? I would go to the spa - no question!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I think the "eat everything in sight" applies to me...
