If You Had a Whole Day to Yourself........

I'm one of those people that never seems to have enough time for myself. I'm always busy taking care of the kids, my husband and the housework. I would love to have a whole day to myself. I'm not talking a few hours, I mean a whole day, 24 hours. I would sleep late, read a bunch of magazines, maybe even a whole book. I'd watch whatever I wanted on TV without being interrupted by someone. Then I'd take a long bubble bath with candles lit around the outside. If you had a whole day to yourself what would you do?

I haven't had a day to myself in a year and a half. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Me either, I've been waiting about 10 years myself. I think I'm due.

A whole 24 hours to myself?..Aw that would be Heaven on earth. I'm always a busy body too, taking care of my daughter around the clock, putting up with my husband's crap. Give me 24 long hours to myself and watch the fireworks take off. I would have to take me a good hott bubble bath, watch my soap operas in peace and drink some margarita. I never been to the spa, so I couldn't leave that out. I'll chat on Mylot for several hours and I would sleep sleep sleep.

I'm definitely hit the spa to pamper myself. I've been wanting to do this since first quarter of this year. I missed having a body scrub, massage, the works!

That's something I've never done yet, going to the spa. Maybe one day.

If I had an entire day to myself, I think that I would have a spa day. Give myself a facial. Maybe use a skin mask. Deep condition my hair. Give myself a manicure and maybe a pedicure and follow it up with a bubble bath with candles. I'd read a good book and perhaps take a nap. Even better than doing it myself would be to really treat myself at a day spa.

I'd sleep late, watch some movies, read some books. Take a nice bubble bath. go online. perhaps do some shopping, eat my favorite foods, visit someone in a nursing home, catch up on some stuff. Just enjoy life. Take someone out on a drive or to eat.

Every once in a while I get one of those, I have a long list of things I want to do by myself, but I usually end up reading and just snacking, no cooking.

I would love to snack all day but then I'd wind up feeling guilty. But if no one was around then I shouldn't feel guilty right?

When my kids were small, I used to dream to have a day like the one you described. Now, I'll use it to go and see thinkgs, everything but be outside - and of course a sunny , pleasant day. My life is very busy, and most of time time I'm inside (house, work, shopping, friends). I would like to be able to climb on a hill (not mountain , it's too much for me), see flowers and butterflies, hear the birds (even frogs don't bother me).Sit on the ground, face up, watch the clouds moving an changing shapes.

Hi Shar! I had it already,a whole day to myself only..It was on my bithday last 2006.Since my daughters left for school that day,I went out and started my day by going to a nearby church and say all my gratitude for all the blessings I was bestowed for my whole life.I went to a spa..Wow that was really great,and of course that wonderful whole body massage,I even asked for an extra 30 minutes massaged .It was really relaxing and unwinding.I had my lunch and dinner all by myself LOL,wasn't accepting phone calls because I told my friends beforehand that they couldn't reach me on that day,I just thanked them all the day after.I watched a movie alone then.It really went well... Btw,definitely before having the whole day for my self It was a must for me to settle and prepare all my daughters' needs beforehand or else I won't be able to enjoy my special day.

I'm glad you got to have a wonderful day to yourself. What a great birthday gift to yourself. I hope that I'll be able to do the same thing in a few years when my youngest starts going to school.

If i had a whole day for myself alone, I just want to stay at home and play games on my PSP all day long while eating my favorite pizza and zipping some sodas...

A pizza all to yourself would be wonderful. No one to share with!

I have recently joined the ranks of the unemployed, so I have all kinds of time to myself. The first week was pretty great. I slept late, showered late, ate whatever/whenever I wanted. Did some window shopping. Time to yourself is nice very once in a while. I believe I have had plenty for the time being.

I'll definitely make myself some hot cocoa and grab a book. Spend the whole day reading it. Or maybe cook a feast for the family, or maybe change the look of the house. Love to do that.
