If you had a kid and DH free weekend

WWYD?

DH is going to a big pro Magic tournament next month to sell most of his cards and such. So he will be gone for 3 days pretty much. Since I will be about 34-35 weeks pregnant, I decided to get my Mom to take Rosie for the weekend. I just know I will be too tired, uncomfortable, and I have no patients. So I was dreading being with Rosie alone for 3 days. My Mom offered to watch her instead. So, WTH do I do? I haven't had that much alone time in ages.

You should do the following:

Movie

Pedicure/Mani

Haircut

Shopping

Bath

Read a book

Watch your favorite shows

Order take out favorite food

and do absolutely nothing!

At 34 or 35 weeks pregnant, I'd be spending any free time that I could get being pampered. Massage, Mani, Pedi, Hair washed and cut. If money were a concern at that point, you'd probably find me in a bubble bath.

Do you have any friends nearby? Maybe you can set up a lunch date or watch a movie either in theatre or at your house.

I would make a bee line for my BFF s house.  She lives about 6 hours away. Otherwise I would go shopping, go to a movie, rent movies, enjoy the quiet.

Sleep in on Saturday, going shopping by myself, get my eyebrows waxed, take a nap or watch crappy TV or maybe read, order takeout, watch a movie (*ooh or go to the movie theater), go to bed and sleep in again on Sunday!

Sleep in, go shopping, meet friend for lunch.  Pedicure, massage.  Everything PPs said.  Have fun!

Sleep and massage. 

I am so jealous.

I'm Bean and DH-free until next Sunday.  I've painted 3 pieces of furniture and done have some shopping.  I'm planning on getting lots of projects done around the house that would take 17 times longer if they were here.

I was really excited about being on my own for a big, but I miss my Beanie so much.  I feel like I have a hole in my heart.

I am jealous.

I would stay home and do absolutely nothing besides screw around on the computer and sleep. I might watch a movie or tv show that DH would never approve of. I wouldn't have to clean because there would be no one making a mess.

Did I mention I am jealous.

I have a feeling that I will make a to do list of things for the baby and the house. Get 1 or 2 things done or started. Then chuck it all out and eat an entire thing of brownies watching bad TV and eat all Popsicles while enjoying many baths. I'm just afraid I will go crazy due to boredom.

All of this, plus a prenatal massage.

I did watch GoodFellas in the middle of the afternoon today.  That was pretty awesome.

Honestly, after I had a sleep in and some quiet reading time I would declutter and organize like a madwoman.  I think I am the only nonpackrat person in the house, and with three kids the toy situation is totally out of control.  I know they wouldn't even notice if I got rid of half their toys, and I would love to organize the rest, but it is impossible to do with them around!!

Sleep, sleep, sleep. Eat a hot meal. Sleep. Relish the silence. Sleep. Go to Target alone.

Did I mention sleep?

I'd do whatever the eff I wanted to and savor the alone time. I wouldn't do anything house, baby, toddler or husband related (like laundry, vacuuming). Seriously, this is your last down time for a while- and it's a brilliant idea, a few days alone before number 2 comes. Enjoy it.

I think this is a good idea - I always feel energized and ready to go in the morning, so I would probably do a small project or some of the cleaning/organizing that's hard to do with DH/DD around in the mornings (after, of course, enjoying a relaxing breakfast/cup of coffee), and then do more fun and relaxing things in the afternoons like pps mention. A more night-owl-ish person might reverse that, and save some small projects for the evening when you're antsy. OH I would also REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoy reading some trashy magazines/browsing through catalogs while watching tv in the evening. This was my way to unwind pre-baby.

I would lay in bed all day and watch mindless TV.  I haven't done that since DS was born. 

I might leave the house to eat something delicious but bad for me.

I've been needing one of these weekends for a while now! I would totally curl up in my recliner with a good book, catch up on all the shows I have on the DVR that I never get a chance to watch, and sleep all I want. BLISS. Pure BLISS.

sleep, sleep, sleep, eat, sleep, sleep, go to bathroom without a child watching, sleep, sleep, shower without a child watching or calling "Mommy", sleep, sleep

I agree with eat, sleep, repeat thing.  I would also hit up the Casino because I'm like that.  Booyah!

I'm not gonna lie, I read the title wrong as "If you and your DH had a kid free weekend", and the answer of course would be sex. Lots and lots of sex. Then sleep. Then more sex.
