Day Off

I came back from maternity leave with about double the days off left than I had expected.  I purposefully didn't use them during my unpaid time of leave so I could take some time around the holidays and now have 7 days instead of my expected 3.  I can roll over up to 5 and already have some days in January accounted for, but because of the extra unexpected days, I'm going to use one next Friday for a personal day.  I'm sending the kids into DC and getting a day to myself (minus the breaks I'll need to take for pumping)!  Now, I can't decide what I want to use the day for.  Do I spend it holiday shopping?  Do I finally start a scrapbook for DS (who's now 2 and I've got nothing started for him)?  Do I give myself a spa day?  Do I do any combination of these, or anything else you can recommend?

So, what would J14 do?  If you had a child free day to yourself, what would you be doing with it?

    SPA DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I might throw in some shopping also, depending on the crowds.  Also, drinking..I'd do that too.

    Holiday shopping.  I think most of mine is going to have to be from Santa Amazon this year.  Fridays will still be busy, but nowhere near the mess that's weekend holiday shopping!  Treat yo' self to some spa relaxation too!

    I'd do some holiday shopping, lunch with a friend, and then end the day with a pedicure!

    Spa & Shopping. And go see the new Hunger Games with DH. We are currently trying to coordinate this.

    Sleeping in may be a challenge since I'll have to get up to nurse DD anyway and DC is closer to my work than DH's, so I figured I'd just take them in as usual, but then figure out my day from there.  I'm liking the spa idea more and more.  Just have to figure out what's best to do with a broken foot.  And I will probably do some shopping because I can't remember the last time I went shopping anywhere without a kid in tow.

    Ah the possibilities!
