The kids are asleep. All three of them. Guaranteed to be out for the next six hours. The house is clean. DH is at training. What do I do? It's freaking me out, I'm free! Or at least as free as I can be when housebound due to sleeping toddlers.

I'd put a movie on and watch it start to finish, while stuffing my face with food I normally hide from the kids. Then I'd have a nap. Jealous!!

I'd read a book, and consume something that you wouldn't normally in front of them (due to setting bad example) eg, eat a whole tub of ice cream, eating Nutella from the jar...that type of thing....

Paint toes and finger nails, watch a show, long shower, go to bed early, read uninterrupted, Pinterest, sew, clean my closet, organise photos, upload photos to make albums, HEAPS!

QUOTE (sedawson @ 24/01/2013, 06:32 PM) World of Tanks? Just a suggestion... Soo not getting into that. I have an addictive personality and this sort of occurrence is very, very rare. Think non sleeping toddler and teething baby type rare. QUOTE (MrsWidget @ 24/01/2013, 06:33 PM) Me, I'd sew. Now there's an idea. I wonder where my embroidery frame has ended up...

From each according to his ability, to each according to his nee
Wine, trashy TV whilst surfing the net. That's what I do...
