Life has been downright hectic lately. I know I say that almost every day, but it’s true, what can I say?
In between my daily two-hour commute, rushing at the office, and rushing at home, I’ve been using my spare moments to daydream about what I’d do if I had an entire day to myself. No deadlines looming, no poopy diapers to change, no husband who wants to cuddle (not that it’s a bad thing), no sippy cups to refill, no newsletters that need to be edited, no fevers that need to be brought down, no fights to break up.
Just for fun, I also like to pretend I’ve got a little bit of spending money. Say, $500 or so, that I can spend anyway I choose.
In these daydreams, I usually end up in the shoe store, buying shoe after shoe, ending up like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman as she struts down the Rodeo Drive after her massive shopping spree.
If given a day to yourself and $500 (that you can’t spend on the kids or household stuff!) , what would you do?
I would do absolutely nothing!!!! Walk around in my pjs, take a nap, drink a glass a wine. No pressure for me to do anything!
At first I thought this would be an easy question to answer but now that I’m trying to write it, I can’t figure it out! $500.00 isn’t enough to go to Las Vegas for the day so what else would I do? Thinking about Las Veges, I don’t think I’d pick that either if given a day and enough money.
I don’t really like to shop….
This is much harder than I thought it would be! I’ve become a very boring mom!
i’d hide out in a spa and get pampered from head to toe!!!
Simple: shop and buy every little thing I’ve wanted but denied myself!
I guess this comment should go under: u know ur a mom when… because I would spend the day to sleep! Sleep in as late as I wanted, not worry about getting up when I don’t feel like it, washing any bottles out, I could nap when I wanted to and take it for as long as I wanted! Then I’d go to the mall in my most comfiest (is that a word?!) outfit, pay for one of those 30 min massages and use the rest for bills. I know that’s so lame but man do I miss SLEEP and my sore body is screaming for some attention & relaxation!
Omg! I asked this question yesterday. I have a giftcard my husband got me and he said I have treat myself and that’s it! I pick wherever I want. I’m doing a lot of shopping for summer clothes and nice “accessories” that we both can enjoy! As hard as he works for our family I love being able to cater to him.
