5 Ideas To Get Moms Through Alone Time

Okay mom... 

The hubs has gone to do his thing and the grandparents picked up the kids. You have the house to yourself and time to spare.

What's on your agenda?

You've looked forward to this time and even created a full list of things to do. You thought about the loads of productivity that would be yours and could barely contain your excitement.

I've been there.

When everyone leaves, however, you find yourself lost, lazy, bored, or too tired to move. If you're like me, you can't figure out how the first three are even possible. Blows my mind every time!

Well, I can't help you with the lazy part- although you deserve to do nothing- but maybe I can offer a few ideas to get you back on track.

You could take the logical approach:

1. Don't

2. Do

3. A

4. Damn

5. Thing 

Or go more of a productive route (per se).

1. Relax. 

Did you know that relaxation is productive? It's you, giving your mind and body the down time it definitely needs to rejuvenate. If that's not productive, nothing is! 

2. Call a friend and catch up. 

Life is unrelenting most days for me. I barely have functioning brain cells to keep up with my kid's names, so you can forget social calls! This is the perfect occasion to do just that. Take advantage mama and make the call! You may not get another chance for a while.

3. Tackle your email. 

Let's not mention mine, um-kay? This is a do as I say, not as I do kind of thing. Email... it never stops and it sure as hell doesn't take care of itself. Open it, save it, delete it, reply to it. Tame it while you have the time.

4. Do the pampering thAng. 

Because why not and who in their right mind wouldn't? If you're a mom, the need for soap and water or some sort of cutting device is forever present. Get off of your tired butt and go in! Don't forget your bottle of wine.

5. Clean It.

If you just have to clean something, do an out of the ordinary task. Organize your medicine cabinet, tidy up your linen closet, or drop off those Goodwill items you've been holding on to. There's never a lack of things to do.

I know this is a small list of ideas and not the most exciting, but they are noteworthy and useful. If you find yourself blessed with free time and you can't think of anything to do, come back to this list. I'm sure it will get your juices flowing one way or the other.
