I do it all, LOL! Some days I putter, some days I nap a lot. Spend time online. And I paint.

Pretty boring most of the time

In my free time, I usually spend quite a lot of time on the computer on my site and Neurotalk and social networking sites such as Facebook talking to my friends.

I also like card making and scrapbooking so I enjoy doing that when I get time also.

I also try and catch up with some of my studies that I have missed during to hospital appointments, not feeling too good etc.

I am one of those people that gets bored really easily so often need something to do. I cant go out that much now so am in the house most of the time which can get really boring.

I watch movies on TV also. I enjoy watching films when i'm not feeling too good as they always tend to cheer me up a bit.

I hope you're doing well and find something to occupy you soon! :-) !

Thanks, Ali. Actually, I responded to the poll, too, and have lots of stuff to occupy my time. Was just curious about what others do.

Sometimes, I feel guilty, because I receive a disability check for doing nothing. Also, because I think that I spend too much time on the computer. Lol. But, I do lots of volunteering, too. And other things.

~ Faith

I am busy doing something with my hands all the time.
Hobbies! That's another one that I should've included on my list. Didn't think of it, because I'm not much of a hobby person, myself. but, they are usually a real worthwhile way to spend time.

I took several years off of school when we got preg. I went back in Aug. of this year, about didn't finish bc of the whole attack issue. I did my student teaching in January and I graduated in May.

FINALLY!

I'm not cetified yet bc I need final test... but I am not planning on going back until Bella (our almost 4 year old) is in school full time. Both of us working full time was awful and didn't work for us. More power to those that can handle the juggle, but we don't like it unless absolutely necessary. Nevermind we payed a ridiculous amount of money in child care.

So I am at home with Bella until further notice. I'm busy with that and trying to be patient with these terrible 3's (terrible 2;s my foot!!) and running errands, cooking and cleaning and playing and everything that goes along with that. I am looking for a PT cleaning job or babysitting job that I could have my daughter at to make extra $.

But I am tired and cranky here lately and I'm not real sure what direction to go.

I want answers because we both want a baby. I really really want a baby...

I don't know what to do about this new desire lately. Is it a bad idea to have a baby if I do have ms?
