What do you do on dreary days?

I would take my kids to McDonald's to the play place if I was in the mood to deal with the noise. My kids love it there and they get to run around and play even when the weather is crappy.

I probably would go visit a friend or something. The down side though is while I'm staying home with my kids most of my friends are busy at work so I don't have many to visit. It is nice to get out of the house. I've been going once a week to have lunch with my husband at work. I pick him up and we'll go grab something somewhere and then I take him back. I usually just catch up on housework if it is rainy outside and we can't do anything.

I used to hate to be in the house all day. I know how you feel. It is good to get out as it breaks up the day and the children like to get out too. My kids and I would walk on the farm or go to the river or water fall. Just something to do as I felt trapped being at home all day. Sometimes in the rain, my husband would drive us out. We would just drive and drive - mainly for me not the children! I went back to work when the youngest boy started kindegarten. This worked out well, as I left for school after they left in the morning and returned before they returned in the afternoon You must be longing for good weather. I hope that it comes soon.

It seems that you had a bad day,how regretful it was! What I want to say is,we can't change the weather or maybe the God's mood,we can do nothing about them.But had you think about something that can also makes us be happy when we can't go out and do something. I have heard some really good talks about how to be happy from a person I like.He said,to be happy is simple.You can store up your happiness for one day when you feel very boring.Like the day you don't want to stay at home but you have to,you can do some happy things you have stored,then you will feel better. Just believe that everyday is a totally different day, we have new life and many pleasant things to do.Enjoy your life and also enjoy the dreary days,you can make everyday full of worth.

Dreary days are really boring but I found out one good thing that I do. I suggest you do it too because it's a nice exercise. I do dance belly dancing. Though I'm not an expert yet but I'm trying to hone that dancing skill and exercise at the same time during boring days. I Just follow the steps in youtube. It's enjoyable. Try it.

When it is raining out or just really cold and I need something to do I love to watch a good movie. I watch alot of movies as it is but when it rains I dont even like to leave the house. I find that grabbing a blanket and jumping on the couch with my girl to watch a movie is a good way to pass the time.
