My husband is off today and tomorrow. The kids are home with him now. It's cloudy, slightly windy, but 81 degrees. Chance of showers overnight. When I get off work in 5 minutes do I want to

a) clean and organzie the kids rooms, do laundry, clean house in general, so it won't be waiting for me tomorrow
b) lay around with him having a lazy saturday. watch tv, a little afternoon delight and nap until time to make dinner
c) take the kids to 6 flags to use our season passes and leave him to have some quiet alone time to relax
d) ditch everything and go camping overnight at the state park down the street. I used to love camping. I think it's cool to be in the tent when it's raining, I just don't want to have to deal with a wet muddy tent.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Mother Nature eliminated a few choices for me. It started raining much earlier than expected. When I got home, my husband insisted I take a nap while he cleanhouse. :) Then we all went to my favorite Mexican restaraunt for some Molacajete and Mexican Karaoke! Church Sunday and another nap. I think he realized that I'm always with the kids or at worlk, so, he wanted to let me relax all weekend. What a spoiled brat I am!

You could combine a couple of activities. Toss in a load of laundry, run the vac -- get the kids picking up and have hubby clean up the kitchen. Let the rest go.
Relax with hubby -- tell him nothing gets your motor running like a nice clean kitchen.
Pitch your tent in the backyard and do some backyard camping with the hubby and kids ---- or leave the kids in the house to sleep (depending on age of kids) and you and hubby use the tent in the backyard.

Hope you ditched the cleaning and organizing. That's everyday. Abandon ship and do something different!!!! Flip a coin! That's how I get in touch with my gut feeling!

I don't know, but forget A.

If you did that, I'd feel guilty that I'm watching TV with my husband instead of washing the dishes. Darn, now I'm gonna HAVE to go wash the dishes because the guilt worked. (Grumble, grumble...)

Smiles!

81 degrees? Are you serious?

I'm lucky if it's 51 where I live.
I'm staying in because the weather is bad, but I'd be all for camping even with a chance of showers.

Have fun!
