I am having one of those days where as i do not know what to do

Okay, you know what you do when you don't know what to do, mediate! Sit down, breathe, relax, and let your thoughts lose for a while. Try not to really think, but if the thoughts come up, try to analyze what you are thinking. Another thing, read. Just read a book, any book, and just keep reading until you cannot read anymore.

Why not take advantage of the quiet and read a book?

what a trial, just what you always want, peace and quiet, and now that you've got it, you don't like it...

haha =D Relax, it's not a bad thing after all because we will end up doing other things instead.. lol =D When i have got too much time on hand, i will definitely be turning to other things instead. At the end of it, whatever free time i have, will be spent on chores.. haha =D U are lucky to have music for company, while i have got only the wind when i go for my runs.. haha

There has been one time in the four years that I've had two children that I've had a day where the kids were gone and I had nothing at all to do. I was actually quite lost about the situation. You see, I've been completely devoted to my children since my daughter was born and I quit working. However, once I adjusted to the fact that there was absolutely no noise at all in the house I was pretty much ok with it though I did miss the kids.

U are too used to having things around u, being in a noisy environment. It's really nice to have some peace at times, because we really need it. For a start, we might feel helpless because there's nothing to do and we are like wasting our time. Fret not though, for people like us, there won't be any moment of free time as we tend to look around the house for more chores to do, just to fill the the time, or maybe, the void inside of us. Once we can get over that, we will know what relaxation is all about.

Hi. jugsjugs. I wished that I had a moment like this. Maybe you should just enjoy your time alone. Maybe you can think of something that you have always wanted to accomplish when you had a house full. I hope that you will enjoy your silence and privacy.

I like to be alone sometimes and listen to music and just enjoy myself. I don't feel I get nearly enough alone time like that. To have all of your children gone at once must be a rarity. I had my great grandson over and my grandson when to spend time with his sister while grand and great took care of the little one.

I felt like that yesterday. It has been school holidays here for the past two weeks and yesterday was the last day before school starts again. My friend picked up my daughter to in order for her to spend the day with her child so I was in the house all alone and it was ever so quiet! I went grocery shopping and breezed through it on my own. I felt strange and somewhat sad my baby was not at home but I’m sure when school starts I’ll adjust!

Silence can't drown, as it doesn't need to breath. It will just keep coming back for more. It'll sneak up on you the next time you expect there to be sounds from all direction. It's in the basement right now...Just waiting for the perfect opportunity. Whistling will only make it angry!

i wish that i could have that kind of peace and quiet days, i am living in college so all my friends will come to my room chatting and making noises. it is really hard for me to do what i want. guess that you just love your family too much that you willing too spend all your time with them. i always hope that my mom can have some free time to do what she want, so that she won't get bored with all those housekeeping stuff. perhaps you can spend the time out with some friends, it should be nice. you should enjoy the time where you can spend it for your own...^.^

Hi Jj Such days comes to my life too, just alone in home, my wife is away say at my elder son's home far away, younger son on a business tour and his wife away at her parents on a wedding function, i feel lonely, watch tv, but really get off mood soon, take out my car, drive in the ring road, enjoy nature.. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Professor. .

Then maybe its your time to be alone and be at peace just by yourself. It is also an important part of life. Where you have to have some moments of peace and timeout from reality. You have to enjoy it since its not everyday you can have those moments where you can be alone. Contemplate on some things or do something you wanna do for the longest time. Maybe have your time off and go to a spa perhaps. Relish those moments before you go back to reality.

hmm... there are really times when you feel that something is wrong when something "not usual" is happening. I've been through that, where I'm home alone, just turning everything on... the tv, stereo, internet... and still... i don't know what i really wanna do and i don't wanna invite friends over..

I have never had children myself so I can't relate to this situation personally. But from what I have been told and what is shown in some cartoons is that having the spouse and kids away is a rare treat to be savored, a chance to do something just for you or something that you enjoy but don't usually have the time to do. Enjoy it while you can. I think that is important for every person to have some "me" time to enjoy all by themselves. Work with your spouse to schedule times like that for you and for them.

this is a good sign. you have the whole house to yourself to do whatever you want by yourself. read a good book or magazine, watch your favorite show, movie, or dvd, give your self a facial, manicure and pedicure, go for a walk, relax in bed, talk a bubble bath, play games on the computer, etc. just enjoy this quiet time alone before they return, and treasure these rare moments of peace and quiet. you dont know when you will get it again.

I think it's about time for you to pamper yourself or do something that could make you happy like shopping or watching movies on dvd's or online. You can even sleep and never bothered to wake up because nobody to prepare foods for except for yourself. Call it just for myself day.

Ohh you sound like my mom jugsjugs.She always says she wasn’t her own time and peace in home.Me and my bother went to camp and dad went to see his father.8 days there was no one.Just three days after she started ringing us calling us back home. Its like be careful what you want you may get it!!!!

Hi Jugs. Isn't it strange when we are so used to having to do for everyone but when we get time alone we are at a loss for what we want to do? I hate those days when I don't have something to do for someone else. Which happens only once in a great while. I know what you mean when you say drowning out the loud silence. It is strange when my husband goes to work with out me I don't know what to do with myself either. I mean you can only clean so much before you have worked yourself out of something to do....LOL Hope you had a great day though you was alone.

I would take the opportunity to relax. I've a model aircraft that I am part way through, so that is probably what I would be getting on with.
