What Do You Do For YOU?

[laundrymom]

I camp, and spend time with my family. Attend trainings and clean.

[daycarelady68]

I go tanning too. I'm completely addicted to all the different lotions. I go out w/my bff every week. We laugh histerically and have a great time. I go out to lunch and shop w/my kids every Sat. When my husband has the weekend off we go out to dinner and have drinks.

During daycare naptime I work out, just enough to keep me strong and healthy. I also watch a tv show while the kids sleep.

I spend a lot of time w/my kids & other ppls kids so I make sure and get my "me" time in!

I had to laugh at the no sun in NoCal. We haven't had much sun in Socal either this year!

I get together with a girl friend for breakfast everyother saturday but I'm also volunteer with Girl Scouts, my church and an organization called National Charity league.

Sun, warm weather...........what's that? I'm in SoCal and our pool hasn't warmed up enough to swim in yet!

[daycare]

I miss socal....where abouts?

I run and exercise in the am (before the fam is awake except Sundays), and do road races when I can.

I have Sushi with a friend the first Tues of the month, and we see my parents and sister a lot of weekends, and they babysit so I can do things sometimes, or go out with hubby.

On random Friday nights I can (after girls in bed) spend time with girlfriends.

SO important- feel rejuvenated after some fun adult time! And try to do fun things with the girls, because I feel like I don't get 'quality' time with them each day during DC hours....

I also like my guilty pleasure TV, too, when the girls are in bed.

Once a week my sisters come over after all our kids are in bed and we knit and watch Doctor Who and eat yummies.

On another night, my DH and I play Civilization 4 online with my brother in law, BIL's bro, and a friend of ours. My sister will be joining us in that soon.

My DH and I have made Sundays pretty sacred--we try to have all the housework and most of the errands done so we can just relax and do whatever we want that's FUN as a family.

out to dinner, read, pedicures, and every nite I just go out it gets me out of the house even if its just to the book store to look I have to leave the house if I don't I'm not a happy camper

In the summer time I mow the lawn. LOL!! No, seriously...we have a 3 acre lawn and I push mow it. I LOVE mowing!! It is uninterrupted bliss! When I want to get away from it all , my DH and I own a houseboat and we take it out and park on an island on the lake near our house and pretend we are no where near civilization.

In the winter I scrapbook...my DD moved away to college so I gained my very own crafting room!! or my DH and I snowmobile.

I am fortunate to live 5 mins from the finest white sand beach in the world. Every saturday morning I ride my bike to the beach and build sand castles. I make massively huge castles, so it usually attracts a crowd. I wish I could figure out a way to make money building sand castles. Hmmmm. Maybe the condos will hire me to do a "castle clinic"? Lol!!!

When I was a kid some folks put out sun hats and tourists tossed money in them.

The trick is to toss a couple in yourself to start the balll rolling.

Ah, tourist season in Florida, hours of people watching entertainment ....::::::

That's a good idea! Maybe a sign that says "all donations to benefit sand and water play at local preschool" ! Lol!!!

Smart a$$!! No, I can't mow at naptime...that would require me to drive 5 miles home and leave the dck's unattended! LOL!!:: ....and yes, it is a great work out. I am one of those people who cannot sit still and relax. So mowing is a great thing to do since it is mindless and somehow in a weird way, I find that sort of calming. My DH thinks it is because of the nature of my job (you know, not really being able to get any 1 thing done while doing 20 things at once!)

Scrapbook, read, plan trips to Disney World (even if we aren't really going, I like to see what's going on and what I would do if we were.) ::

[AmandasFCC]

I have Rockband night with a couple friends every Friday night. We get some wine and appetizers and play and laugh together. It's a great stress reliever.

I also get out in the evenings when the weather permits with the same group of ladies for walks/hikes/runs/aquafit ... anything to get us active really.
