    So, the stars and planets have all aligned perfectly and I happen to have a kid/DH free house to myself for (don't hate me) ONE WHOLE WEEK. Yes ladies, one week.

    I just dropped DS off and am now alone -

    my first freedom - I used the bathroom with the door open and no one was yelling "MOM".

    I also plan on -
    ordering a pizza with everything I like
    Watching junk TV until my eyeballs fall out
    sitting on the back porch swing drinking in the silence and the beer
    actually getting some real cleaning done, not just the quick swoop and swipe I usually have to settle for.

    Any other suggestions? What would you do with a week of freedom!?

    I think I'd have to walk around naked too.

    Sleep!!

    I get every other weekend off, and it's great, but... If I don't find something to do at least one night, I wind up being very lonely and depressed. The silence is great because you get to hear yourself think, but after the first thoughts come the things that eat at you, kwim? I'm not trying to bring you down, just advising something to do out of the house!

    Long bubble bath with a glass of wine.
    Mary :-)

    Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

    LONG LONG  hot bubble bath with a class of whine and a book. 
    Listen to the music you love as loud as you want.
    SLEEP !!  Do the star on the bed, keep all the sheets all to yourself.
    Yes enjoy the freedom of no cloths on. 
    It is for me to know and you to dot dot dot.

    I would get a manicure and pedicure. Go for a walk. Read a book. Go see a movie alone. Do one of my many to do projects like photo organizing or cleaning a closet. Have some girlfriends over for pizza and movie night. Oh the possibilities! I'm excited for you.

    Read an entire book cover to cover with no interruptions.

    Drink and dance around to 90s music while singing at the top of your lungs.

    Take a long bath or shower

    Eat hot meals of whatever you want without them going cold.

    Give yourself a facial

    Eat chocolate. Lots of it. Calories don't count when you are on vacation.

    Oh yes - walk around naked - that's a good one! Sleep is on the list too!
    And I still have to go to work (one of the reasons I couldn't go away too), so I will be out of the house, plus classes at the gym, so I won't be stuck here!

    Oh yes, and everything I do, I am going to do s-l-o-w-l-y. No rushing around!

    I tend to try and do all the chores the days from kid leaves so that my house, laundry and dishes dont need to be touched for the whole week.
     I buy plastic spoon fork knives and throw away dishes.
     Run around in my panties and leave a dress by front door just in case someone decides to come over. 
    Watch my movies (zombies, gore fest, vamps), eat my food (veggies and no one says ewwww) and pamper myself with masks and nail polish.
     I then take myself out and treat myself to coffee drinks, shakes, breakfast lunch and/or dinner.
     Have the girls over one night or day and have fun. 
    Do some shopping in my favorite places while I dont have to remind kids of no touching or have to hear the whining of kids/hubby about being there too long. 
    Tan in the nude out back.... cement walls and no 2 stories near me love it.
    Organize the kids room and PURGE (this is IF you CANT find something to do with yourself)

    Sleep naked in the middle of the bed, and for as long as you'd like!

    Ya I'd be double clicking my mouse in inappropriate places like the kitchen or the couch. I really hope @gingersnap meant what I'm thinking or I'm just a dirty perv :(

    That's what I meant @eapple, but you might be a dirty perv anyways.

    Rub fake tanning lotion on, turn on the ac, and watch grown-up TV naked while eating mint chocolate chip ice cream!!

    (Naked is both relaxing, and ensures no streakyness from the fake tanning lotion!)

    Not that I do these things on nights that the Ex has DS... ;)

    As I have always daydreamed, I'd walk around the house naked. It's hot enough outside so why the hell not? Wearing a undergarments, shirt and pants, bras especially suck in this heat! Turn up that music and wiggle, jiggle those boobs like you just don't care :D YEAH!

    A bubble bath for sure.  I haven't had one since before I was pregnant with my first!  Also, I'd go to see "Magic Mike" with my BFF.  LOL!

    All of the above! Sleep, nakedness, bubble bath, wine, MAGIC MIKE, girls night... The list goes on and on. Have fun so I can live. Vicariously through you
    I prefer not to think before speaking. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of my mouth.

    I have nothing constructive to say. I'm a bitter, jealous, bitch right now. I hate you more than a tall skinny bitch, @sofaqueen. Unless you are tall and skinny, too. Then it's on like Donkey Kong!
