8 Things My Kids Think I Do When They Are At School

June 16, 2015 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

kids-home

When my baby (last child) started school this year I told him I would be bored without him. I asked for his suggestion on what I should do with my time. He said without even hesitating that I should watch M+15 Movies all day. So I asked them what do they think I do all day (neither said work)?

My kids like to take random selfies and I love finding them on my phone. Today I thought I would take a few of my own.  The temptation to tease them was ripe.

Here are the top 8 things my kids think I do whilst they are at school and now I have confirmed them with selfies left on my phone.

1: Eat Chocolate – Specifically their remaining Easter Chocolate. I do actually do this from time to time.

2: Drink Coffee – This one is true, I do drink coffee most of the day.

3: Clean the house  –  My kids actually think I like cleaning the house. Who “likes” cleaning?

4: Sleep – I once jokingly told them I go home and get back in bed. They still believe me. I never have.

5: Watch the news – Actually they suggested I did this, so that they don’t have to be quiet for the 6pm news update in the evening. I don’t do this.

6: Take random selfies on phone – Guess this one has finally come true.

7: Vacuum up their toys – I tell them if their toys are on the floor when they go to school than I will suck them up. I do.

8: Watch scary M15+ Movies – I wish I could find the time to do this but I am too busy actually working or cleaning (and not liking it)

What do your kids think you do when they are at school?

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
