Call it the depression of "waiting", call it the doldrums of winter - but man, am I LAZY lately. There are things I could do around the house: laundry, clean up the winter cobwebs, clean up my office, go grocery shopping, scrape the ice chunks off my driveway --- but I DON'T WANNA!
I called my friend Suzy on Friday night and asked her if it was horribly lame for me to go to sleep at 9:15pm. (Ironically, this would been about the time we would have started making arrangements to go "out" in college!) She assured me that it wasn't lame -- however, thankfully we talked for a long time and I didn't get to go to sleep until at least after 10pm - much more respectful!
This winter has brought SOOO much snow - and brought it so early (we've had snow since before Thanksgiving up here). Combined with the freezing weather, I am so OVER winter. I'd like to bribe Mr. Groundhog tomorrow to please bring the end to winter.
But instead of continuing to whine, I will realize that I am very lucky these days to have laundry to do - as that means I have clothes to wear and get dirty to wash, and that I have machines to clean them and water to rinse them. And I will gladly go to the store and be happy that I have enough money to shop for food without really stressing all that much. I just forget sometimes, don't we all?
Okay my house is a mess too!

I am the same way this time of year. I am so ready to be able to go outdoors and stay outdoors. Winter always bring laziness with me. I completely understand "I Don't Wanna!"
ReplyDeleteYeah, we do forget sometimes but that's okay. I am with you on the winter depression. I am over being in the house all the time. Everyone down here doesnt leave the house during the winter, super annoying. Thank goodness it's February - almost over!

Sounds like we are all in the same boat here. Take some comfort in knowing you are not alone!
ReplyDeleteI don't wanna either and my bathrooms are telling the tale...UGH...they HAVE to be on the agenda for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHouse a wreck and laundry galore!
You'll get motivated and clean like a mad woman when you get that court date!
Hugs!!!
Amen! This time of year is hard and we don't even have snow! I can't stand to be cold and poor little Andrew loves to be outside - doesn't care what it's like! Cabin fever... By the way, 9:15 is NOT early. Wait until you are home with your little one. 9:15 will seem like a LATE bedtime for you! :-)
