I am a stay at home mom and was tired of just waking up and not doing anything with my day,so I decided to take an initiative and plan something for each day of the week. I hope that this works for all of you SAHM.
Monday: Go to the mall and let your child play at the playground inside the mall (depending on the age of your child). Then I would walk around and buy at least one thing that I like. Spend the day out and about, its better than being in.
Tuesday: Call a friend and make plans to get a pedicure or a manicure,treat yourself to something nice. You can leave your kids with a babysitter just for an hour or two.
Wednesday:Go to a movie, see a comedy,something that will make you laugh. Laughter is really important and even if its just for a couple of hours it still helps.
Thursday:If you dont want to spend any money you can always do exercise and energize yourself.Go to your closest park and take your kid or kids and just jog for a little bit, or go for a swim at a nearby pool, or you can go to the library and read some books or magazines, relax and feed your brain.
Friday: Go to the beach and get a tan,always helps to get some color,makes you feel more sexy,and sexy is good.
Saturday:Get some ice cream. I love sweets and ice cream is a good way to satisfy your taste buds.
Sunday: this day is a resting day for me,you can choose whichever day you like for your resting day. I could go to church or spend a day cleaning and playing with my daughter.
Here are a few more things you can mix up with your days:
*Find a hobby. If you like to draw or scrapbooking you can keep yourself busy,and try to do it outside in the fresh air or somewhere comfortable.
*You can always join a club, there are many clubs for moms and you get to meet new people and do things together.
*Have a get-together with friends,call all of your friends and invite them over for a small dinner and desserts,your friends will want you to have another one soon!
*Go and search around whats near you, a zoo? a museum? places a tour guide would take you,you'd be amazed at how much there is to do.
Come up with new ways to keep busy,be creative and fun. I hope this helps some of you SAHM and less of you will be stuck at home for once.
