[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 146258, member: 1161"] Think of things that you want to do and have put off, such as a craft or painting a room in your house, then go out and get the stuff and do it. I get the occasional paint by number and fill in my time, and easy child likes to get my "artwork" when I'm done LOL. Or think of things that interest you, then go take a class such as a knitting class, or cooking class (they have them to teach you to cook more heathy as well here). If you have a University/College near you, you can sit in on some of the classes/lectures, just check with the registrar's office. Here there's a small fee, but you don't have to buy the books or take tests. My husband has monitored a couple of the classes here on archeology, plus had a couple hour+ convos with the prof. on that subject. If he monitored enough he could have gone on digs with him, but work/life interrupted. Go to old folks homes during visiting hours and just sit and talk to the people there, play a game of cards or two. So many don't get visitors and just love to talk to people.

I'm just counting the time until easy child is old enough to leave alone, and I'm planning on joining some clubs etc. I've recently got back into doing needle crafts, have told easy child I'm not her entertainment director and she's pretty good now of getting things for herself. Take this time to do what you want, even if it's just relaxing in a bubble bath with a book you've been meaning to read. [/QUOTE]
