What do you do when you need a pick me up?

Eat a cupcake

New outfit!

Shop til I drop.

Eat chocolate and shop, even if it's just window-shopping.

Since I'm nursing...then just the shopping.

Nursing is no reason not to drink. It's totally safe, unless you're too drunk to parent.

Small- leave work and go to get a soda from the gas station; if I'm at home, go for a walk
Bigger- go out with friends, go get a new piece of clothing/accessory

[luv2rn4fun]

Drink, get out for coffee, go for a walk or run, get a haircut (definitely need to do this soon!), catch up with friends and/or family...basically anything that doesn't involve my normal day to day SAHM routine and gives me some "me time" (which I literally never get these days).

[catsarecute]

Shopping for sure! I also get really excited to get my hair cut/colored. When I have an appointment, I count down for the day to arrive. Something about being in the salon is relaxing!

[moopoint17]

Online retail therapy.

Oldnavy.com gets a lot of my business during those down times.

[SallySparrow]

Get a slushy/icee.

Buy A clothes.

Buy a new book.

[justjen]

Fancy coffee

Buy cute kid clothes

[mlt]

Organize something in my house. A freshly organized closet or drawer is a serious mood lifter.

I work out and/or eat something like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream. In the long run it helps if I do both of these instead of skipping the workout, but sometimes I go straight for the ice cream after a hard day (or night).

Pedicure

Eat snacks. White cheddar popcorn and a candy bar is my favorite.

[dcn]

Get a treat, like a milkshake or chips and queso and watch a movie. When I'm not pg pour a glass of wine or have a beer along with my junk food.

[simpsongal]

Buy house stuff, drink, get fried chicken. I do these things pretty frequently.

I haven't read OPs but if someone responds "work out" - I will escort you out of this thread.

[kitty]

Starbucks and wander around Homegoods

[osulori]

Run, drink, and eat ice cream. Usually in that order. Or maybe run followed by drinking while eating ice cream.

[cincodemayo]

Eat candy. Get "fancy" coffee.

Go outside and get sunshine

[Deleted]

I mow the lawn too. Everyone leaves me the hell alone and it's refreshing!

Also, buy random stuff on Amazon. Usually to keep the kids occupied. It's also a pickmeup when two days later the package man appears with it. 

I put the kids in the stroller and run back to the lake. Let them play around a bit and go home. 

I also rearrange furniture/clean closets.

Sometimes I stay up super late, drink a beer, take a long shower, do my nails and wash trash TV or read a book. I'm tired the next day but the downtime when everyone else is asleep is so worth it.

[pattieice]

Get a Starbucks if I want something hot, or DD if I want an iced coffee, and wander around Homegoods and Nordstrom Rack. Luckily for me these stores are beside one another.

Tonight I am playing trivia and I can not wait. We haven't played in a month. It is so nice to have a couple of hours to myself and not worry about another soul. There is not much kid talk and I get to feel like myself, not a mom.

[lilles]

Buy a Coke Slurpee (don't hate on me anna7602

And of course shopping!!!

[heygrey]

Beer and magazine on the porch in the sun.

I usually fall asleep and it is fantastic.
