We as women, get asked often, "so what do you do?" This question can either depress you or give you an opportunity to embellish the truth. I remember a day sitting there with my 4th brand new baby girl. Women from my church had come by to visit. "So what do you do, do you have any hobbies?" I started to tear up as I realized I had no answer. Hobbies?! I barely leave my house. My highlight is going to the grocery store all by myself and taking my sweet time. Possibly lying about how long the checkout line is so I can sit in the car a little longer in peace. So no I don't have hobbies unless you count laundry. After a minute, I tell them I scrapbook, hoping that will make me sound less homely. And by scrap-booking I mean printing out pictures and putting them in one of those cheap plastic photo pages and placing it in a 3 ring binder.
Ten years later, I try not to sigh when asked this question. Still just as busy and no time to myself. I am a professional dance mom, cheer mom, soccer mom, and my hobby is how to turn my SUV into a traveling circus and be three places at once. And don't forget still act like the love Goddess your husband still thinks you have the energy to be. Do I have a hobby? Get real. If I could fit in a nap every day, I would claim that as my hobby.
