What do you do during the day?

I'm retired and live alone so people think that I have all sorts of time. I seem to be busy all the time, though! I usually make lists of things as they occur to me so I don't forget them. On my list right now are: Call the doctor to make an appointment Finish knitting socks for a Christmas gift Can the rest of the tomato sauce (one more canner load to go) Cut down the sunflowers that have finished for the year Catch up on mending Clean out the car Dig strawberries to give to my daughter Shop the salvage grocery store and the discount store to see if I can find some bargains Move furniture and clean the wood floor in the living room I won't get it all done in one day, of course. Do you have any hobbies? Any topics that especially interest you?

I work from Home, I write reviews online and update my Blog with articles on a number of different subjects like stuff that is in the News and also about Music and other things.

I have three kids like you do and that can certainly keep you busy all on its own between their activities, and doctor's appointments, and going to the grocery store, and getting things they all need. Two of my kids are teenagers though and one is 8. I volunteer at the school a lot. But mostly the housework, cooking dinner every night, and doing laundry for 5 people keep me fairly busy. Then I also started my own business 10 years ago when the kids were young. I sell used books online, it is not something I recommend getting in to these days because with the economy the competition and the Kindles it is a hard business now, but there are also a lot of sites you can get involved in to keep you busy. I am on so many online sites now I struggle to keep up with them now. If you want to learn about some you are welcome to private message me.

It sounds like me, I have a two year old and a almost 3 months old. I like to do the housework and run the errands in the morning, when my children go down to nap, I have my own time. Actually, that's pretty much all I do everyday - housework, playing with my son and housework, really not much, because I don't have my other families or friends here so I don't hang out with anybody. I find fun in playing with my babies, maybe taking them out to the park or going out again afternoon for a little shopping, little things like that.

Well, I have been at home with at least one child for the last six years. However, my little one started school this year so I am at home by myself for the first time. What I have been doing to pass time is to clean up at the house early in the day. Then I take some computer time. Next I will start with my dinner planning. That pretty much passes the day until the kids are home.
