I don't get many times to be by myself. When I do get a chance to be by myself, I have no sense. I work so hard and try to do so much that I pay for it for a day or two afterwards. I wish I didn't try to do so much but I get so excited that I have this time to myself that I just lose all "sense." LOL I'm not complaining, I love having my family around me but being alone at times is so nice. What do you do when you have some time to yourself?

I am almost always alone, and it suits me fine. I am a very private person. Don't get me wrong, I like people, but I do not need to be with them all the time. I like it how it is, alone.

i dont get a whole lot of time to myself either but i like to come on mylot or read if and when i get the chance. I mostly read non fiction, so i think that you have to concentrate a little bit more than if you were reading fiction...thats why i like the solitude of being alone.

Well I feel absolutly comfortable being alone. I like to read some novels, watching T.V., surfing nets or even playing computer games. Sometimes I prefer to think about my own self, what I have done in life, and what I should need to do. It gives me pleasure and motivation to move ahead.

I know what you mean. I don't really get to be by myself that much anymore since I've been living with my boyfriend. When I do get time to myself, I run errands mostly or workout.

Good Morning!
When I am by myself if I don't have any typing to do I get on Mylot for a while and sometimes I play games on the computer. I have other things I need to be doing at home but I usually wait until I have someone with me to help because I can't hold out long to do a lot of the cleaning that needs to be done.
Hope you are doing well and have a great day!

If I want to be productive, I cleaned the whole house with my radio on.because that's the only chance.If I want to relax, I read magazines with the radio on or sleep.

You arre right it is nice being alone sometimes, I know how it feels cause I live with a partially deaf husbnd that won't get a hearing aid and blasts his TV.
If I were you I would talk to my faily and tell them how you rally feel about you wanting to bw alone at times.
Or find a nice secluded spot in the park where you can just chill and be alone.

I'm a work at home wife and so is my partner LOL so alone time doesn't happen to much.When it does I only get a half hour like in the bath for myself or when I escape onto the porch to paint.I love the nice weather so I enjoy those times and a nice bubble bath is great to relax even if it is 8 in the morning LOL
