Sit in my recliner and mess around on the computer... I can see her room but she's usually too engaged in whatever I've given her to bother me for a few... Her favorite thing is a spool of ribbon lol... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329502 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 22:17:40 +0000 pinkcupcake 329502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jumperoo! Or sometimes that makes it worse b/c she starts screaming with joy in there :P In that case, I'll just surround her with toys, lie down next to her, close my eyes, and try to pretend I don't feel her breathing on me/poking out my eyes. Hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329353 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 17:20:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 329353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Does it sound horrible to say I pull the same trick with dog? He always wants to go for a walk as soon as we get up on the weekends, so we pretend to be asleep so he leaves us alone. Of course, we usually start laughing and ruin the "trick". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329346 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 17:16:48 +0000 Rubies 329346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! HAHAHAAHAH, that is hilarious. Hmmm. If I need a break, and I was alone and desperate for some quiet, I would probably just strap her in the carseat and drive around. Not very relaxing but def less tiring than chasing her around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329268 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:54:57 +0000 erwoo 329268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just watched an entire movie with me on the couch and floor. I played with him here and there, of course. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329265 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:48:55 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 329265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also sit or lie on the couch, pick up my phone and try to get online for a couple of minutes to clear my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329252 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 14:18:39 +0000 Honeybee 329252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also go for a walk. We walked A LOT the first few months of DS's life. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329230 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 13:53:23 +0000 looch 329230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go out for a walk. The air clears my head and sometimes I even pop on my earphones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329229 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 13:52:39 +0000 Mrs.M57 329229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put her in her jumperoo, that can last from 5-20minutes depending on the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-you-need-a-break#post-329219 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 13:42:15 +0000 chopsuey 329219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>But you're alone with your Lo?</p> <p>I.. Sit or lie on the couch and have her play alone. When she comes to me whining about something, I'll close my eyes and pretend to snore. Hahahha<br /> She knows that it means that I'm "sleeping" and she shouldn't bother me. </p> <p>Sometimes I feel bad, but shiz, I need a break! </p>
