^^^ and smell the fear escaping their aging pores at core power yoga in Georgetown, midday.

The thing is: it just makes them so boring. They have no other interests or topics to talk about. Because all of their brain attention and time are devoted to just one thing. If I start to talk about something else, I see my friend's eyes glaze over and her attention wander away. (Maybe b/c she's starving, too. . huh, never thought about that, but that may be true!).

The exercise/shower/get ready part could easily run 3hrs a day. "Domestic" stuff around the house could be an hour a day. General shopping could kill the other half of the day one day a week. I would spend about an hour a day cooking because I love to cook. I guess the rest of the time I'd just aimlessly fuck around.

As far as socializing, that would probably be limited. The SHAMs in my area are so boring and most of them are really out of shape, so I'm guessing they are pretty tired most of the time carrying around so much excess body weight.

How's that dystrophic body disorder working out for you?

Not PP. You must mean body dysmorphic disorder. Dumbass. I've never seen so many fat jealous heifers on a thread.

It's good, I guess, that you're protective about people getting the name of your mental illness correct.

Lol no. I just know how to spell.

tell yourself whatever you need to in order to feel superior, happy whatever. Nobody needs to justify anything to you. I am sorry that you are a miserable bitch and I am sorry for your husband and children. I hope you feel better soon. And oh yeah, go back to "work".

I exrercise every day, clean, run errands, shop, bake, organize, occasionally read, go to appointments, get my nails done. I look great and part of that is just the glow from stress-free healthy living.

LOL, what? 2 DAYS to shop? "Monitor finances?" Hilarious.

Okay. Why is your meal ticket husband trying to fuck me every time he sees me?

I volunteer as a court appointed special advocate, but it doesn't require my time every single day.

School is out early, or out entirely, or one of my 3 kids is sick an amazing number of days. I discovered this when my kids went to from day care to school and we had to hire a au pair to cover all the gaps. Then I quit.

So, now that I stay home, I do many of the things that I used to do after work between 6:00 pm and 11:00 pm when I didn't have kids. I pay the bills, exercise, cook, and occasionally go out for lunch. In addition, I have a couple of really big volunteer jobs (managing the communications for a grant making organization and a couple of school-related things) that take at least 10 hours a week but shut down during the summer and over holidays.

I think that I enjoy staying home more now than I would have when the kids were babies.

I workout everyday, grocery shop & prep meals, run errands, keep the house clean, volunteer, handle all home improvement/repair projects and do a little WAH actvivity (about 4 hours a month). Basically, anything that would take away from family time on weekends, I take care of during the school day.

I do this too. And kill time on DCUM making fun of WOHMs. You know, on commercial breaks.
