    Default An extra hour

    If you had an extra hour in a day what would you do with it? Would it really make a difference for you?

    I was just thinking that there aren't enough hours in a day to do everything, especially to do something just for me. If I had an extra hour would I really take the time to do my toes, or would I vacuum the dustbunnies under the sofa? The dustbunnies would probably take priority.

    Do you regularly get "me" time? If so, what nice thing do you do for yourself? If you don't is it something you feel like you are missing?

    I should definitely use it to work on my daughter's schoolwork or my own homework.

    I'd probably use it to sit on the computer...

    If I had an extra hour everyday, it would probably get filled up with more housework, lol, so it wouldn't matter anyway. I do get a few hours a week all to myself (when DH takes the kids to town, or they stay with my grandmother when I get groceries). Sometimes I'll use that time to just relax, enjoy the silence, or read, but more often than not, I use the time to catch up on chores.

    I would probably waste it in the arcade or watching tv.

    I think I'd work on jigsaw puzzles or logic puzzles.

    For some reason, 24 hours a day just doesn't seem to be quite enough, does it?

    I'd LOVE to have more me time....where I got to do absolutely nothing if thats what I chose! My husband lost his job last October and since then I've had to work much harder and when I am home...he is here so no time for me to just be alone and do nothing! I vote for the extra hour!

    I think I would spend an extra hour reading each day. I try to sneak it in when I can...but usually, I can't find the time. So that is what I would do with it!

    I would curl up on my bed with a good book, then take a nap.
