Before you go any further... get your mind out of the gutter!

LOL - No, really, get your mind out of the gutter. That said....

I like to play with myself and by myself. When no one is home and I have the whole house to myself I dance, I sing, I play silly games with the cats (I'm a 35-year-old woman who plays chase with the cats). I'm relaxed and stress free because the kids aren't home to bicker and I don't have to deal with the hubby sitting around watching me be silly.

Sometimes when I REALLY want to be silly I'll make faces at myself in the mirror while I'm doing my makeup or hair. It's fun to just unwind and behave in a manner that I wouldn't do in front of anyone.

I really think that most adults have forgotten how to have fun with themselves. As a kid I use to love playing outside looking for bugs, watching ants looking for food, chasing chickens, playing with my dog and cats and having fun by myself. I loved playing with other kids but I had more fun doing stuff I wanted to do and when I wanted to do it. Adults forgot how to do that, especially moms who put their kids first and forget about themselves.

I've always had a saying, "if it stops being fun then I won't do it any more" well you can't really do that with your life so why not just have fun?
