Last week was an absolute lazy week for Scott and I. I was just getting over a cold and every time I stepped over the threshold of our home the overwhelming urge to do NOTHING seeped in. I fell into temptation and drug Scott along with me.
Monday: "So, how about Subway tonight?"
" Great, I'll go grab it on my way to the Library."
Tuesday: " Taco Tuesday sounds good?"
"Great, I'll pick it up when I go pick up my prescriptions."
Wednesday: " 'Friends' and a hamburger sound like a good way to spend the evening."
"Great, I'll grab it on my way home from work."
and so on..................................
This destructive pattern happened right up until Saturday night. My dishes hadn't been touched, not that there was much to do, and the laundry was certainly piling up. Scott never complained, and so we continued to live like pigs for a whole week.
We watched movies, caught up on all our missed TV shows (love the tivo), and downloaded songs for our ipod. We even tried to tackle our bathroom remodeling project on Saturday but instead grabbed a hot dog and soda at Costco after going to a matinee movie. Man, life's hard!!!
Saturday night we finally realized that this had to stop. Our lazy days had to come to an end. I was actually missing the cooking I used to do. I really wanted to wear clean clothes, and the dust on my bathroom vanity was just too much. I blame all this laziness on the bitter cold we've been having. We've been in the mood to just be comfortable and warm, and that is exactly what we have been. Comfortable, warm, and mega lazy. What an awesome way to start out the new year when you haven't made any resolutions. Hopefully when I step over the threshold tonight Scott will hear, "Hey honey, how does spaghetti sound?" and then when he goes to bed he'll have a clean bathroom to clean up in, and some clean pj's to wear.
I think we all have weeks like that! It's nice to be lazy once in awhile. And I'm sure if you saw how messy my house is right now, you'd feel much better! :-)
ReplyDeleteEnoy the lazy days because the crazy days happen way too often! I love not cooking. It's so stress free. Good for you!
ReplyDeletehaha that sounds a lot like the beginning of our year. I'm glad you guys are able to get in the relax time once in a while.
ReplyDeleteWe had one of those days just yesterday. The girls are sick (again), so we're not going anywhere. Movies and snacks all day long. No real meals. Jammies until noon. No cleaning. But we all got baths, so I'm not a complete sloth, am I?
