When you have a few minutes or a few days, what do you like to do in your “play” time?
As a mother of 3 busy kids, a wife of a self-employed entrepreneur, and the owner of a home staging business, I've come to realize I don't have a lot of "play" time. I keep thinking when Alex goes to first grade, I'll finally be able to have more time (I'm SO over this half day of kindergarten thing), but time will tell in a few months if that is true. To be honest, I'm a little nervous about having all my kids in school all day. What am I going to do with all the time I will acquire? Is this a mid-mom crisis? I guess I'll have to wait and see... In the meantime, these are the things I like to do in my "play" time:
- Browsing different blogs in blogland and dreaming of completing many DIY projects.
- Scrolling through Pinterest - also dreaming of completing many DIY projects or making yummy desserts for my family
- Reading a book
- Shopping - not grocery shopping though, that is not fun.
- Vacationing - I LOVE going on vacation even if it is just for a few days. I especially love vacationing when it is just Aaron and I. It's nice to be together without the distraction of kids and work... well, kids at least. We all know how Aaron will go through withdrawals if he can't check in with the office.
- I love cooking - but I hate the whole meal planning/grocery shopping thing. I need someone to do that for me.
- Watching TV. When I get overwhelmed or need to decompress, I love "zoning" out for an hour in front of the tube.
- Playing card games with the neighbors on a weekend night
So, there you have it. My list of what I like to do in my "play" time. Nothing grand
or even very exciting, but comforting to me nonetheless.
