I am free of children!

[Not_Giving_Up]

Whatever shall I do with myself?

[Fiona]

1. Change your name

and move.

[Not_Giving_Up]

2. Good idea

I can't move...I'm broke.

next?

[LastKnight]

3. uhh... i donno...

make more? lol

[Not_Giving_Up]

4. Impossible

Parts have been removed...No womb for more!

[LastKnight]

5. didnt think the idea would fly anyway...

so in that case, call them up and harass them to death...ask them why their still up, who thier with, and when they will finially get to bed.

ya know... motherly stuff

[Not_Giving_Up]

8. They're asleep

They're only 11 and 9, and one is with grandparents, the other is with great-grandpa. I know where they are and what they are doing.

12. i thought it was a 'my kids have grown up and moved out' situation,

never mind... i feel sto0pid now.

[Not_Giving_Up]

14. No, we're not quite there yet

The cats and I look forward to that time.

6. Hike cross country and live off the land and the kindness of strangers,

telling everyone you meet about the DSM and Bush's war crimes and treason. Take pictures, write a book about it, and buy an RV with the profits from the book and movie rights. Retrace the route of Che Guevera's trek around South America in your new RV, again taking pictures and notes. Write "Motorcycle Diaries: 55 years later in an RV." Sell that book, buy a yacht, and try to determine whether Muslims from the west coast of Africa could have made it across the Atlantic to Mexico,and thus become the basis for the Quetzlcoatl myth, since the word has always sounded Arabic to me. After this, retire to Barcelona and live peacefully.

Either that or watch tv a lot. The first idea will keep your kids from being able to ask for money, though, since they can't find you.

9. I'll spread the word electronically

No hiking for me! My kids don't ask for money, they know I'm broke.

[jobycom]

17. Darn, I did a lot of thinking on that, too

Oh well, your idea is probably a happy medium between my two suggestions! :-)

7. Buy some pot and get high.

Maybe have a party.
That's what I would think about if I were ever free of children.

[Not_Giving_Up]

10. No party

Lump on the couch is sleeping. The first part is done!

[xmas74]

13. kick that lump off the couch.

get some good music playing and make the lump get up!

Children nowhere near the house is a very special occasion. It should not be wasted sleeping.

[Not_Giving_Up]

15. The lump requires 12 hours of sleep a day

Sometimes he's up all night and asleep all day...today it was up all day, sleep by 10 PM.

[xmas74]

19. I wish I could get even half that!

that would be wonderful.

[SOteric]

11. Long hot soak in the tub,

rent some movies you wouldn't watch with kids in the house, eat whatever the heck you like for dinner with no grumpy faces... I'm sure you'll come up with a few things.

[Not_Giving_Up]

16. Dinner happened before the littlest munchkin was gone

Maybe tomorrow!

I see sleep in my future!

[sasquatch]

18. Get some kittens
