I relish every moment by not cooking, picking up and leaving it that way, not getting dressed or doing my makeup, plucking my whiskers out in the open (ha!), watching TV & sleeping with the dogs. I am rarely alone long enough to ever be able to do that since DH and I both teach and have the exactly same schedule of time off - including summers!

After 5.5 years of loss, heartbreak, and empty arms, our dreams were fulfilled through the beautiful, selfless gift of adoption. We are amazingly blessed!
I never close the bathroom door (unless we have company over)
I read or catch up on DVR or tackle an organizational project (i like order and color coordinated closets)

It empties today of its strength. ~Corrie ten Boom

It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

Well, let's see...I'm home alone right now so I guess I check the bump obsessively, watch dvr'd shows from the night before that Mh hates (guilty pleasure shows), eat a small snack (today's is two celery sticks and a few baby carrots), and mostly just lay around!
I love getting off of work early.
There may occassionally be a day here or there that the kids didn't run me ragged and I'll have the energy to do some housework. But, honestly, it doesn't happen very often
We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint. Romans 5:3-5

Our sweet little girl, born January 26, 2012
But I always work long hours so I'm not around a lot at night regardless. So..I'm at work, when I get home I watch TV, I work out, I play with the dogs, mess around on the internet, clean, watch DVRed shows, watch movies..
Home for the day or a few hours. I get bored just sitting around. I look around online for a bit and then I'm bored. I don't watch TV. I never really have. I have sewing projects but I'm still learning so I get frustrated when things don't look perfect. I guess maybe I need another hobby.
And I always leave the door open unless we have company
I agree with the other ladies about cleaning and organizing... that's my thing. I also watch my DVR'd shows that DH doesn't like and surf the net.

OMG - me neither! I was too ashamed to admit it, but DH and I never close the door and I seriously have to remind myself to do so when we have people over!
Anyway, when I am at home alone, I like to watch the shows and movies that DH doesn't like, I really like to vacuum in peace and scrapbook, of course!
