Do you know, it's hard to really think of consciously doing something fun and entertaining everyday. I can think of things I enjoy---baking, handwork, puttering through the house, writing stories, reading, and working with my plants. But the thing is---except for the reading, they easily turn into chores.
For the record, I actually did something on Monday that was a change, though it wasn't a biggie. I went to a neighbor's house with our oldest daughter we're looking after (thanks Tina!), and we watched the whole 2 hours of The Bachelorette. A tabloid reader's delight. ;) It wasn't my thing, really, but it was fun to be away from the house for a bit. No little girls to chatter, and time for me to unwind and just be with our oldest girl. Good stuff.
For Tuesday I bought myself a pint of Moose Tracks ice cream and read in bed for over an hour after dinner. The rest of the family was busy doing stuff---second son baking oatmeal cookies because there wasn't any food in the house to stuff down their throats, least ones playing a computer game with their dad, and the others staying busy in their rooms. We were all chillin' but in different ways.
