Today I stay at home myself, my child went to the kindergarten, my husband went to the office, I have one day holiday at home. After completing the houseworks, I turn on the radio listen to the music, so comfortable, without child's noise, without busy working. I lie down on the bed have a rest, I feel very quite and comfortable. What do you do mylotter when you stay at home yourself for a one day rest? Would you like to share with me?

Well, I'm on Spring Break right now, so I have the opportunity to do a lot of things at home right now. . I like cleaning when I have free time, organizing, re-arranging rooms, listening to music, watching day-time television, going on myLot, running, catching up on assignments/studying, and so on. I will prety much do anything.

When I am home by myself, I usually just try to get a lot of housework done. Also, I run errands and try to plan out a nice dinner since I have more time to fix something a little bit nicer than usual. I also use the extra time to get things done online, like visiting mylot and catching up on emails. If I have plenty of time, then I also really like to get outside and do something, like go for a walk to get some fresh air and exercise.

When I am home alone, there is always work to do. I have two separate businesses that I run from home, so if there's nothing to do with one of them, then there surly is with the other. There's also the housework of course. But if I do have a day all to myself, I read a lot, watch whatever I want on TV, and play computer games. I really cherish the time I get to spend alone.

I am a stay at home mother and I am usually home anyway while my husband is working. My young son is home right now and should be attending kindergarten at some point.
I usually just do my chores and do some things here on the computer to pass away time. I don't really stay home by myself a whole lot but when I do I just catch up on some things that I fell behind on when it comes to some house hold chores and the like.
It is nice to have some peace and quiet once in a while. And I do take advantage of that idea when I can.

I would probably also listen to music in bed, grab a good book and start reading. If I get a bit sleepy then I will just go ahead and take a nap. I prefer to read books than to watch television unless there is a really good show on the cable. I consider days like that to be a treat especially with two active boys at home. I hardly have a quiet day alone.

Hello tjsally. When I do stay at home, I do some chores, while I listen to the radio. I turn-up the volume of the radio, so I wont feel that I am left home alone. I also watch tv and talk to my friends on the phone.

When I have the whole house to myself I like to read, play on the computer, and just enjoy the quiet. I listen to whatever I want, catch up on TV shows on the DVR, and occasionally clean without anyone under foot. I hate cleaning though, so I avoid that as much as possible.

When I am home by myself, I do a lot of work both on my computer and around the house. It is so quiet, I am able to get a lot accomplshed without distractions. Once I feel I have gotten a lot done and I am ready to take a break, I will pick up the phone and call my Mom. I talk to her for a while, thenit is back to work.

I dont get much time alone but when I am I do a variety of things, first I clean and if I feel up to it I will deep clean a room. I scrapbook, read or play here on the net. Rarely I will watch TV. I would love to be alone a little more in my house so that I could clean it stay that way for more then 5 minutes! lol
I actually love being alone and having me time.

I do what I usually don't when there are people around: I watch the television :D Whenever I watch television, it means I'm in my most do-nothing-mode. I don't really like the television except that it's a good way to pass the time for a couple of hours (I can't watch for any more than 4 hours straight) - but I really do prefer spending time either with friends and family or just in front of the PC :)
Thanks for the response on my discussion!
