As I sat INDOORS yesterday, I did a lot of thinking. I thought about what I could do in the house, what I should do in the house, and did, one thing. Well actually two, I did a lot of laundry, but the word is did, not folded, but washed and dried and put into baskets, Patrick brought it upstairs, and there it sits. I think I am having a real attack of the lazies. I just don't feel like doing anything anymore. What is that about? I follow through on that too. NOpe, don't feel like it, so I don't. I used to push myself to the brink so that I would get everything, I mean everything done. I was working full time, raising two and then three kids, Scott was working, the kids were involved in baseball, Cassidy was an infant and woosh, I was up until 11pm some nights doing laundry. Washing, drying, folding and placing in a basket to be put away before I left for work in the morning. Now, well look in that basket for a pair of pants, I think I washed them yesterday. I guees it is that I am no longer in the "go Mode" as my sister Marge would say. i hope that is all it is.
Patrick will be 14 in less than 2 weeks. I can't believe that my little baby will be 14. The time went so fast. I know I know, I sound like an insane old lady. Really, I can remember bringing him home from the hospital, and now he is 14. WOOOOOOOSHHHHH! We did do something right, although, there are times when I feel that he was raised by wolves, boys, I have heard sometimes are raised by wolves, even though they live in your house and you try to teach them, the wolves come in at night and infect their consciousness. He is growing at a rapid rate, and right now is about 5 foot 9 inches tall. I am taking the kids for sneakers today, they are off from school, and I am afraid what size he will be in now, last count he was wearing a 13.
I guess this isn't a philosophical post, again it is mundane, but well, I am trying. Maybe I will revisit the comfort zone to figure out what still and does make me comfortable. Or maybe I will write a post about someone or something I know, those can work! That is all for now, sorry you can wake up now! And Cathy, sometimes, just sometimes, I have 3 or 4, once in a while, 5 readers, if you count that my son tries to read my posts over my shoulder! But, I am glad that you are hanging in there! All of you, the handful of you that read!

Every once in awhile we all get the lazies. I usually get mine after trying to do to much to start with. Weekends are the worst after a long week I just don't feeling like doing much.
Even with Patrick at 14 I would recommend two things enjoy the time you are with him. He will grow up faster from here on. Secondly, take a lot of pictures. It'll drive him nuts but at least you will have them.

Well, when it comes to laundry, I ALWAYS get the lazies. Because I was a "career girl" before getting married and kid, projects always came and went, being completed to move on to another project. When I got married, I categorized my housework the same way. BUT, as we all know, housework isn't just a project, but a project that NEVER ENDS. I never have a problem getting the laundry washed, but folded and dried is another story.
OK, you've learned my major flaw. But not bad considering my ex-sister-in-law doesn't wash laundry at all. She just piles the clothes in her basement and buys new. Yep, YUCK!
But, just hang in there. I go through the spells just like you do. However, I have to keep focused, even on the mundane stuff to keep my journal filled for school.
Don't worry. I think even your mundane stuff is worth reading!
Piles it in the basement and buys new? What the...? LOL!Sorry, I can't imagine.
Miki - if you find something that ends your lazies, send that recipe my way.
Yeah. She's VERY gross. She blames her lack of household knowledge on the fact that she was adopted and her mother never taught her. Very sad indeed.
If you think things are bad now with the lazies, wait till you retire. You won't want to do a darn thing. We sit around and look at one another when we're not watching TV or the kittens. Yeah, lots of fun.
On the other hand, I could do laundry 24/7.
The problem here is that I am a stay at home mom. My house always looks like a bomb hit it, and well, there are times that I just don't care! I used to be busy, before Cassidy went to school, and last year, we were on breakneck speed, going to the doc's all of the time. So, maybe that is the thing. Cathy, your ex sister in law sounds very odd indeed. Isn't there a point that you stop blaming what you weren't taught, and learn it yourself? There are quite a few things that I wasn't taught, my mom didn't have the energy or the time I guess being the 6th of 6, and she worked full time, which was odd at that time, but once I was a "grown up" that had to change, and well it did! But I digress. OH well that is that!
I am just so bad at getting around to everyones blog and commenting. You write great blogs and I like to read yours.
I have the lazies soooooooo bad and I don't know what to do about it.
Take care xx
When you figure out how to cure the lazies let me know!!
I always enjoy reading your posts Miki! Even talking about mundane stuff is interesting! xxx
