I have quite an opportunity coming my way tomorrow. I am going to have 4---gasp---4 hours to MYSELF!!!!!! It's true. My kids have a 1/2 day at school and my husband wants to take them all skiing! I could go....but he offered to take them alone. I have a blast when we all ski together. The kids are all independent on skis now so it's really a thrill. But, we just skied Sunday. Also, it's spring and it's still cold and I am just not in the mood for it anymore.
The question is....what should I do???
I could relax....take a nap? That would surely do me a lot of good.
I could read.
I could make some phone calls for the mini job I have with my Dad. Or I could make calls that I need to make for my effort to bring a pool to our community.
I could certainly do laundry. And even fold it.
Mop floors?
I could shop for stuff we need for the company party I'm hosting here Saturday. Yikes. I definitely could start cleaning up for that.
I could read blogs and aimlessly surf the net for a crazy amount of time....OR
I could fit in a big giant workout!
Any votes?
Any guesses which one I'll pick?
I am really never alone. I am going to savor it. And you know what, I am going to miss the little guys and probably be calling them late afternoon to find out if they're almost home!!
I have the upmost admiration and respect for parents such as yourself who still find the time to get in their own training. I can only imagine how precious the rare "me" time must feel. Enjoy it! I'm sure you'll decide well.
ReplyDeleteNo work! I say you should take the time to do something you don't normally do! A long workout is always good though...humm. What ever you may choose, I hope you enjoy some quiet time!
ReplyDeleteTrain!!! 3 hour brick (2 hour bike and 1 hour run), 30 minutes to have your smoothie and eat and 30 minutes to veg out on the bed. Maybe they will be out for more than 4 hours and you can relax even more!!! your hubby is a sweatheart :)
ReplyDeleteI know! I know! You'll choose the long workout, right? :) I'd do that and then take yourself out to lunch or for coffee or soemthing.
ReplyDeleteI would stay home, bake, read, workout, surf.. a little of everything.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost never completely alone, and when I am I like to load up my favorite tunes and blast the house...singing my heart out...dancing around so the dogs get upset...drinking wine...
ReplyDeleteI find that the dishes and laundry and vacuuming are so much easier that way and I'm energized later.
I also like to paint when I'm alone and redecorate.
Enjoy!
