A recent poll of 2,000 American Women over the age of 18 is meant to reveal what the would do if they extra time in their day. I always wonder who these women are. Are they moms? Do they work in the home or out of the home? And the answers are always so typical. Let’s take a quick look at a couple of the top answers and be HONEST, shall we?
#1 According to the survey 49% of women responding said they would sleep.
Really? While the thought is a GRAND idea, I get a case of the guilt. I should be doing SOMETHING. Usually if I get the bonus nap, that is when my mama brain kicks in and I am thinking that I could use the time more wisely. Like maybe I have time to remodel the kitchen!
#2 36% said they would read…. Yeah – I LOVE reading. When not escaping to Facebook, I read shows on NETFLIX. It’s easy – Turn on the closed captioning and turn down the volume. (Expert level readers put the captions in French or Spanish ..BOOM! You are learning a new language!)
#3 29% would exercise – OF COURSE! Everyone would exercise!
#4 22% would learn a new hobby. My latest Hobby is finding creative ways for my family to do extra cleaning on snow days! BTW: The Chore Challenge is a great thing! Thank you, YouTube!
In all honestly, If I did have any extra time, all to myself, with no one bugging me, I can tell you exactly what I would be doing. I would be standing in the dining room with a blank stare on my face, coffee in hand, wondering what I forgot to do!
