What I'd rather be doing

As usual, on a Thursday, I’m at work.  Don’t worry; I posted this and hooked up with Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop before I went to work.  It’s not like I’d play around on my blog while at the office…… (just sayin’,  in case the boss ever finds my blog).

As much as I LOVE my job (again for the boss), there are plenty of other things that I would also love to be doing.

-I would love to be sitting out on my balcony with a good book and a cup of tea.

-I would love to be having a picnic by the lake.  I live literally five minutes from a lovely lakeside park but do you think that I ever get there?  Ha!  I must get out there!

-I would love to go shopping, not because I need milk and tampons but just because I want to for totally frivolous things.  Of course, I need to work for the money to do that…..

-I would love to have the day to spend with my kids.  Of course, they’re teens now so even when I do have my vacation time, they probably won’t hang around with me.  A mom can dream though.

-I would love to spend some quality time writing both for this blog and some fiction.  I’m not spending enough time on either lately (sorry!)

-I would love to be sitting out on a terrasse somewhere drinking wine/sangria/beer/whatever with my lovely SIL.  I’m not seeing enough of her these days.

-I would love to be sitting on the sidelines watching my kids play soccer.  I enjoy the socializing with the other parents as much as I enjoy cheering my kids on.

-I would love to go to the movies for a couple of hours of air conditioned, well-entertained bliss.  There is always something out there that I want to see but, somehow, I don’t ever seem to go.  What’s up with that?

-I would love to take a nap.  I never napped when I was younger but, once I had kids, I learned the value of a good nap.  There’s nothing like “checking out” for an hour or so on a peaceful afternoon.

What would you rather be doing?
