Winding Down
by Mama LionTaking care of a baby almost 24/7 is HARD work. My days have been starting around 8 am (thanks to hubby for doing a short morning shift) and last until 6 pm. If you ask me what the date is I probably wouldn't have a clue, BUT I can tell you the time and the day of the week! Want to know why? Because every day I'm counting down the hours until hubby comes home and takes over so I can finally relax and I'm also counting down the days until I reach Wednesday (my mom comes over to help or Baby Lion goes to grandma's for the whole day) and the weekend.
So after a long, tiring day I unwind by first reading my blogs. My three fave are The Skinny Website, The Purse Blog, People.com, and of course Xanga! I have other blogs that I check also, but those require having to actually read, which I don't want to do unless it's Xanga.
Something else that I've also picked up to help me unwind is playing Mario Party on my Nintendo DS. It's such an easy, fun, and mindless game (no thinking involved), AND I get to play while lying in bed 
.What do you do to unwind after a busy day? Any fave blogs or games you'd recommend??

I love catching up on my Xanga as well to unwind and have made many friends on there that I like to keep up with. There's a good blogspot blog I like to read as well which I may very well mention in my Momaroo blog here. Definitely worth a read!
As far as games go, I've been loving MarioKart for the Wii! It's addictive! But I only get to play that after the little one goes to bed of course!
I grab a book and take a bath to relax. With 3 boys under the age of 5, I need it. Haha!
I don't play much video games but lately I've been playing Oblivion on Xbox360. It's a bit like Dungeons and Dragons. Nothing like hacking up monsters with swords and running around on adventures to completely zone out.
I love to read blogs, but sometimes I end up getting wound up with the things I read instead of it helping me wind down. IDK. I am pretty good for grabbing a bowl of popcorn (air popped for me - none of that yucky microwave stuff) - and vegging infront of the TV. I also like to take a nice hot bath sometimes. Not big into the video game thing.
I get lost in the world of Everquest 2. I agree with TornadoChaser there is nothing like hacking up monsters and doing quests with friends online to unwind after a long day with the kiddos. Lately they have been going to a babysitter's house though because of my summer class schedule.
I get in my xanga, blogger, google reader (other blogs), facebook, myspace, and email time in during Donovan's naps during the day. If I have time I catch up on gossip at PinkIsTheNewBlog.com. At night sometimes the hubby and I will watch The Daily Show clips online for a good laugh. =)
tv, check e-mail, xanga, facebook, IM friends to catch up, and if i ever do get a chance go out with friends...
