I usually have from 8pm till 10pm to myself at least 2-3-4 nights per week because Ken plays hockey and is on the Evangelism Committee for church and he is also an elder in the church. I really enjoy this time to myself and often, like last night, don't get to bed on time because I'm enjoying it so much. It's not always "free time" either, I'm usually making a list for the next day, meal planning, Bible Studying, making lunches, folding laundry, emptying dishwasher etc.
To be honest, sometimes I'm a little overwhelmed with a day off and feel quite lost unless I have time to prepare for it. My sister in laws have occasionally taken the kids randomly and given me a break and I sometimes am at a loss deciding what to do. I know that it's a ways away, but I do wonder sometimes what I will do with my free time once all the kids are in school. It must be so different.

Great list. I'm not much of a bath girl, but the other day that's all I wanted to do, just soak and read a book, and I did get to which was great. We could have a lot of fun together if we had the day alone, but together. Have you found as many good thrift stores out there as we have in the east?
I love the conversation bites that you recorded! You definitely need to do it again. And your list is a good one - I should have put thrift store shopping on mine too. And I hate to tell you this - but you really won't have tons of time when they are all in school - you'll be busy preparing for the minute they walk in the door, all the activities (including fund raising), the meals, the laundry, and on and on and on. But it will be different during school hours for sure - the panic will be before and after school! At least you won't have cows to milk too :))
