The question asked was:
If you had 2 hours to yourself, what would you do?
The options were:
Pamper Myself, Take a Nap, Go on a Date, Take a Long Bath, Go for a Walk
41% of you ladies said you would like to pamper yourself!
Try it! Leave the kids with family or a friend (make it reciprocal!), or a sitter if you can afford it, and go pamper yourself! You can even have someone take your kids to the park for you, and you can sit home and do your pampering in the comfort of your own home!
Here are a couple pampering ideas:
If you have a membership at the YMCA, you could go to a yoga class and relax or get into the Hot Tub or Steam Room. - Child Care is right there!
You could go up to your favorite book store or coffee house and sit and read a magazine or a book.
Go to the park with your portable music player and lay on a blanket and listen to music.
Here are some other great ideas:

I hope you all take some time to utilize any spare time you may have this week!
Verse of the Week
NIV: Philippians 2:14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,
KJV: Philippians 2:14 Do all things without murmurings or disputings:
Sometimes I kid around with my boys, saying that God's Word says I am supposed to do things by myself because one child is always arguing and one is always complaining. Mr. Murmur and Mr. Dispute.
It is in our nature to do these things, as evident in our lives as mothers, wives, and even from the mouths of our children.
This week I pray we all can concentrate on this verse and set the example for our children and our spouse. Let's bite our tongue, be thankful for what we DO have, and pray about how we can apply this verse to our lives.
I am going to write this verse out and tape it to my bathroom mirror, where I can see it when I first wake up, and before I go to sleep, and, as any child with a preschooler knows, the hundred times in between.
