If you had a day alone with no kids

[E-beth]

...what would you do?

I would love to stay in my jammies all day and read a book. Then take a long bubble bath, a three hour nap, and would eat a huge ice cream sundae for lunch. Then maybe another nap, take in a movie, and talk to my mom on the phone for as long as I could in a quiet room.

*sigh*

I would go and get my hair done, make up done, get dressed in a really nice dress (are we husband less too) and go to Darling Harbour in Sydney (Australia) and live it up a little with my husband. Go on a cruise around the opera house, and stuff like that. At the end of it all I would have a great big long nap!

I would leave my son at home with a good babysitter, who loves housework, so that when we got home again, the house would be spotless.

A day without the kids?? What a concept! Hard to grasp....



I'd go to the swimming pool. I'd visit folks. I'd get a hair cut (those always feel good). I'd go on a date with hubby. I'd go sledding all by myself. The possibilities....... whew.

**ROFL** whew I almost fell outta my chair with that question E-beth.
I would so stay in my comfty pajamas all day, maybe even stay in bed..I would curl up with a good book, and or study some scripture.
I would also try and get in time to study for my real estate exam, when there is silence, I can study.

A day without kids? Are you serious? Really?

/me starts jumping up and down.

Wow - what would I do (my mind can't quite grasp that)

I'd stay in my pajamas all day long, and wouldn't have the tv or radio on at all. I'd just sit back and revel in the silence. I'd grab my book and curl up on the couch and read it, maybe light a fire.

I'd take a hot hot bubble bath in the afternoon, and do absolutely nothing after that.

**sighs in bliss**

I want to stay in bed, with my water, a big carafe of juice, a box of chocolates, my book, a hubby that brings me a few things now and then. Ahhhh.... . A long luxuriant shower (I have a hard time with baths... too uncomfortable). All my comic books, too. Too bad that kind of day will not come for a long time (if ever )

I would just be thankful for a moment where I can go to the bathroom without an audience.

 

[E-beth]

I hear ya!

I have had to switch to taking baths because whenever I try to take a shower, little hands keep pulling at the shower curtain and getting the floor all wet.

 

[Mom of 6]

You girls are so funny and I can so relate. LOL

Yeh, the bathroom is a big problem here.ALL I want to do is go potty not spend 10 minutes afterwards trying to round three active toddles up. Phhhewww. Now I know why I hold it in for so long.LOL



Ahhh a day with out the kids. I think I would do the Jammie thing too. A long hot steamy shower, I'd lotion up real good and get into Jammies and cuddle up with God. It's been so long since I have had a long talk with him in peace.
So It would be me with my Bible and God!

In a Motel Room. tee hee. I'll borrow your babysitter who cleans too.

Oh yeh, the Husband? HUM? What do I do with him?( Unless I get this day of relaxing done while he is at work............but what is a motel room if you don't stay the night, I think he deserves a break too!)

Now that's another topic all together.

Well, if I don't have kids one whole day, let's see. I like mamaneenie's idea of of someone to clean the house while watching the kids but it would have to be a couple of cleaning baby sitters with 5 kids. Then, I would find a way to take a day off work (I run a business from my home) and find a sub for my husband (works 7 days a week and would be too tired to join in the fun without time off). Then I would sleep in, drive to the quietest, farthest place in the country I could find. I's spend the quiet hiking, talking with my husband, and just listening to quiet.
We would go to a romantic dinner, drive to a pretty spot to watch the sunset, then drag my feet all the way home knowing that my day alone was already over and that they are way to few and far between.

Sleep in. Take a hot shower, then eat a leisurely "brunch". Go get my hair colored and cut, shop for a new wardrobe with my thousands of dollars (not). Meet friends for dinner and then a chick movie. Go home and take a bubbly bath. Read a novel until I can't stay awake anymore. Go to sleep alone in my bed with freshly washed sheets.

Just one day though.

sleep in...sleep in most of the day....get take out food, eat it in bed...have a romp with the wife...take a nap...play videogames from bed, or read in bed. Maybe have another romp....go to sleep.

 

[Blindfaith]

LOL Kelly!! Isn't that just like a man? **just kiddin' ya**

I love the responses in here - what a fun thread.

 

[Kelly]

notice that I want sleep more than anything. Age doesn't make you old, kids do.

 

[water_ripple]

It would be allright for a few hours..after that I would miss them, and want them sleeping in their beds..It happens to me and my husband when we get a baby-sitter overnight...It's funny actually..when we get a baby-sitter overnight by the time we go to bed all we can talk about is how much we miss the babies, and how much we love them.
