I was inspired and entertained by Peter Hartlaub's post (I read The Poop whenever I can. The man is hilarious) about what he does when he has some "Home Alone time" from the family. Given that I'm a SAHM, getting some much-needed "me" time is hard to come by. Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband that encourages me to take some time for myself to go out and do things either alone, or with my gf's (which, unfortunately, some of them don't have that type of luxury, or husband) while he takes the brood. Hmm, what to do when the kiddies and hubs are gone??
Hartlaub writes some pretty funny s**t, and I'll admit to an occasional "dance my a$$" off to some RUN DMC musak. Maybe even some Gaga. I like to watch crap T.V. (wait, wait, I do that from time to time when they're playing or napping anyway) like the Kardashians, E news, and catch glimpses of an episode of "The Real Housewives of ___." I need to keep up with pop culture people, so sue me. I'm currently waiting for Vampire Diaries to start up again, which is a guilty pleasure, and not really crap T.V. Who's with me?
Like Hartlaub, I take looong showers. Intentionally. I know it's wasteful, but when you've had kids, you'll understand and sympathize. I also like to eat the junk food that we try and hide in our cupboards. Unfortunately, that last little bit isn't helping me shed the baby weight faster. But on the other hand, I also like to go for a workout, especially a good run. Anything to break a sweat to take out my frustrations about my toddler's terrible twos.
Reading. sigh. I wish I had more time to read. I am used to be an avid reader and read fairly fast. The hubs bought me a kindle after Micron was born and since then, I've used it a handful of times. I seriously need to put more mileage on it--especially since the in-laws bought me a really cool kindle cover.
