Staying Home

Hands down no question on the rare days that I get to stay home I'm on the computer writing or working with photographs. Right now I have a list of at least 50 topics to write on or photo slideshows to publish - if only I had more time at home and would stop getting distracted with Twitter and socializing on Associated Content - love those things but not always productive :)

Well Im a SAHM and we only have 1 vehicle so I am home all the time. I get out on Friday nights to do errands and get what we need for the week and right now on Sat. as I shoot on a pool league. Luckily I find so much to occupy me that normally I feel overwhelmed by things to do. These last few weeks I have been going thru and getting rid of things, reading, playing with our 2 year old, I want to start my crafts again. There is so much to do that I dont know if I would ever get bored! I need to clean out my photos, start scrapbooking again, make jewelry I have like 100's of books I still want to read. LOL! Yeah I could go on and on.

well i only work 3 days a week so i am home on tuesdays and thursdays (most often) and if i am home for the day i do house stuff such as vacuuming and dusting and of course laundry. plus i do a lot of crafts. right now i am busy making stuff for christmas, both to give and to sell. i have already lined up projects for after christmas too.

About the same things...clean.....might bake....work on crafts....do laundry....work on crafts....be on the computer....work on crafts.....that's what I do! LOL

Oh, my! I'm always busy, even while resting and watching TV. I have about 10 different craft projects going on at the moment (I get bored with one and pick up another, then go back to the first when I feel like it). There's always housework, of course. I have about 30 house plants that I tend to almost daily, plus my dogs' and cats' needs. On good days, I go outside, plant flower seeds, pull weeds, take cuttings of unusual bushes and try to root them, collect seed pods, pinecones, acorns, attractive dried weeds or small tree branches to make crafts out of, try new recipes, get in some myLotting, read emails, play with the dogs, blah blah blah. Even when I'm going somewhere where I know I'll have to wait, like getting my car inspected (which I do have to get done by the end of this month), I'll take something with me to do, like knitting, crocheting, a book to read, sometimes my laptop, or just play games on my cell phone. Once, I had to take my son's girlfriend to the hospital because she had a bad fever (her mom lived out of state) and I was in the middle of creating a banner for a contest to win front-row tickets and backstage passes to meet The Rolling Stones (which I did win... photos on my profile if you're interested) so I took the banner and some permanent markers along with me. I worked on it while waiting for her to be treated. I can't stand to just sit and do nothing, not even just watching TV with nothing else to do. I've always been this way. My family went on vacation once, where I had rented a cottage for a week at the beach. My kids were young so I knew there would be plenty for me to do but even so I was looking around for stuff to do. I couldn't even just sit on the beach and enjoy it without something else to do! Luckily, my oldest son's birthday was in the middle of that week. He turned 7, so I made him a birthday cake and invited family members to spend the day with us at the beach. It was a lot of fun! Now, with Christmas coming up, I'm starting new crafts, adding to my already too-full schedule, but I love it.

Hi carolbee, I don't go out much anyway and I am always doing things round the house and then spend a lot of time on my laptop so its keeps me going, I am not able to go out these days and if I haven't got transport, then I am stuck, but it don't bother me too musch as the weather has been really awful with winds rain, hailtones thunder and lightening, lol! we have had the lot.

Hi Carol, it seem boring for you at home. On the contrary, I wish that I could stay at home now. Then I would watch movies, listen to music, chat with my friends, etc.

We have just moved into our new apartment so if we are not busy out side then we have a lot of unpacking and settling in to do. Otherwise when it is nasty out side we will both get on the computers and I will work at building websites and my wife will play games.

Hi Carol, Oh lets see probably a bit of housework or laundry, cooking some gourmet meals which I tend to do when I have more time as I really enjoy cooking. The same as you - "piddling on the computer", probably go to the gym or for a hike since I am a gym rat and I enjoy that endorphin rush that comes from exercising. Also, read a good book if I have a book to read and that's about it.

I like to do same as you in doing crafts I like to get the house all clean up and relax and then use the computer plus I like trying out all kinds of recipes I like cooking I use a slow cooker which is great I cook allot of different things types of food. Plus listen to some nice music which is relaxing. cd

Best to take a sleep,, news on TV, also surfing the net,, play with whoever is at home,as we get older,, there is always something to do

I tend to do the same as you i tend to go on the pc aswell as do the house work sometimes i tend to sort cupboards out as well as drawers.I also make a few cards as well so i tend to make some of those as it is all extra money.

ussually, i was at home in a long time if something happend incidently.for example, my kid have sick,i ussualy will be longer be at home than in the office.at home, i busied myself to help my wife preparing everything that can help my chid get well soon.this activity quite busy for me

I usually totally screw up when I'm home for long periods. I really look like a lion in a cage and grrrr....bite anyone!! I try to keep busy cooking, surfing the internet and playing games, but I really hate that, I need to go out! That's for my sanity of mind!

There are lot of things lying unattended at every home.Things to be cleaned and arranged and files to be kept in order in their places.Most of us find some lame excuses to shrug away from the dull chores and flee the house at a drop of an hat. A well kept house always reflect our character.

Mylot, Christmas Crafts (and then I'll have to start on Birthday crafts), line up more work by calling around, call my friend who is in the hospital, check email, call friends whom I haven't called in a while. Rest, read, pet kitty cats, talk to my hubby. Go for a walk, collect bottles, gather something from the outdoors. There's always something to do. Laundry, dishes, and cooking.

Today I had a day off and I am cleaning, catching up on the computer things I have to do, and enjoying my day. Ainge

I am at home all the time, there are most days when I am too sick to really get up and do much but on the days that I am feeling pretty good I will usually end up catching up on some cleaning and organizing then I will jump online and snoop around for a little while.. I don;t mind be able to stay home and love those days when I don't have to worry about getting ready and running out somewhere...The kids keep me busy for the most part with things but I would love to start getting into more crafts but am just not sure where to start, I just need to find the motivation...that is one of my resolutions for the new year is to be more motivated LOL...

lol I am a live-in care-giver and have started crafts for the holidays..also I play ALOT of games on Facebook and other sites...relaxes me...other than that, I just take care of my little lady...Hospice gave her less than 6 months now..I think less than 2 months..been taking care of her for over 5 yrs.

Im not a busy guy nor afraid of the outdoors, I have just come to dislike the urban environment of the place I live in, ever since I moved into the city. I kill time in da house by training with weights, sleeping for the whole day, being stuck on the computer and other boring stuff, i just wanna go to some jungle or beach outing. BTW the last time I went out was last month.
