Top Ten Things I would do.....

If I had a whole week of absolute free time (no kids, appointments, commitments, etc...) and endless spending money (that just adds to the fun) this is what I would do:

Day 1) Rent several movies that I have never seen and watch them all. I would have to have breaks in between because I would go crazy sitting all day.

Day 2) Spend the day with a good friend(s) that I haven't seen in a long time! As many as possible! I like to keep in touch with all my friends from the past!

Day 3) Catch up on my scrapbooking. The last page I worked on was K's two year birthday party and he turned thirteen this year. I think this could actually take up the whole week or month or year!

Day 4) Spend the day at the beach relaxing, playing in the waves, snorkeling, reading magazines, taking pictures , listening to the waves, ahhhhhhhhh.....

Day 5) Cook several recipes that I have been wanting to try but never have. Unfortunately, I would probably eat them all as well.

Day 6) Spend the day at the spa with a full body massage, pedicure, manicure, pool, hot tub, etc.......

Day 7) Shop, Shop, Shop till I drop! I thought I might like to visit as many malls in my lifetime as possible!

Day 8) Spend the day hanging out with my husband!


To be honest with you I am stumped at this point! Everything else I have come up with are things that I would want to do with my husband and my children! Some of the previous items I would want to do without my family, but the majority just wouldn't be as fun without them! For example, I would definitely want K with me to for the cooking day. The day at the beach would be quite boring if my fella's weren't with me! I would love for my husband to watch movies with me but I don't think we would agree on all the titles. I definitely would do the spa and shopping expedition alone or preferably with girlfriends!

And each day I would start out with a nice, long quiet time with God and then go for a nice relaxing 3-4 mile run!!


Okay, so the next Top Ten are things you would like to do with your family.......... new or different things that you have never done together!!!!!

Trust me - I used to feel the same way- but the feeling you get from running becomes very addicting- it's hard to explain! Cute comment!

Right now I just think I'd sleep and sleep. Too much boyscout camp and company me thinks! My eyes are drooping. Great post! It's funny how much we long for time alone but a little alone goes a long way, I think. Here's something else for your list. A bubble bath with candles and classical music. Read a novel(or two). Wander the art museum.

I think I'll post an entire entry devoted to just this topic! I've got one of those weeks coming up in August - I hope! Don't get me wrong, I love being with my kids. But I really need a break sometimes!
