Do You Really Want To Know What I Do When I’m Alone?
<=====that pretty much sums up most days. I don’t know about you, but most days I am ridiculously busy. Doing what? I have no frickin’ idea. It just seems like I am always on the go, always working, always driving , always answering emails and there always seems to be an endless grocery list. Don’t get me wrong, I love my kids and husband. But OMG do I need alone time lately. I barely ever get it and if I have a phone call or a chat I have to literally lock my door. Seriously. I put my head phones on so I can’t hear knocks or questions. Oy. I miss the easy days when my kids were little and they were content to sit and cuddle on the couch to watch Dora the Explorer or Dinosaur. Not anymore. Now my kids have social lives. The nerve. I think my fibro adds to the fatigue but I am tired.
So I don’t go slowly insane here are a few things I do to keep this mama’s brain balanced.
1. Hide with a good book. I love to escape to a different reality.
2. Play Bubble Witch on my iPad ( I used to play Candy Crush but not anymore because I am pretty sure that game is evil and sucking my will to live. )
3. Chat with my equally sarcastic, hilarious friends on FaceBook.
4. Wrap blankets around me and watch tv for hours if hubby and kids let me. This is a must. My body kicks my ass on a daily basis and sometimes my mind and body needs a recharge.
5. Sing and listen to music. I LOVE music. It can lift my spirits like nothing else. Seriously. A good song and I am good to go.
6. Write. I am currently working on a non-fiction book about my life. Don’t worry. All the names have been changed to protect the wicked. 😉
What do you get up to when you are alone?
