How I Spend My Free Time

Or, Things I Have Done While Grace is at Mothers' Day Out

• Folded giant piles of laundry while watching Project Runway and The Daily Show (it never seems right to watch all those bleeped-out expletives with a toddler around)
• Worked out at the dreaded gym, as much as it has pained me to use my precious child-free time thus
• Napped, sometimes for almost the whole time she's gone
• Made phone calls, paid bills, written overdue emails
• Applied Manic Panic to refresh the pinkness of my hair (so far I've had to do this every 2 to 3 weeks after the initial bleach/color session at the salon-- annoyingly frequent, but less time and effort than a pedicure, so you know, not too bad)
• Gone to OB appointments, sometimes when I actually have them scheduled
• Done some sewing
• Shopped for groceries in a delightfully leisurely manner unfettered by an impatient, distractible companion
• Re-organized our filing cabinet
• Gone to the post office with small piles of eBay items (why am I STILL trying to get rid of stuff that we moved halfway across the country?!  Aargh, materialism, how I loathe thee...)
• Written blog entries (so meta!)
