What I should be doing

LoriD10

I should be cleaning and doing the laundry but instead I am sitting on my couch (on my laptop, of course) and doing absolutely nothing productive. DH comes home in a few weeks and I promised him I would have the spare room and the dining room cleaned and organized. I have accomplished absolutely NOTHING since he's been gone. And frankly I just don't feel like doing anything. My energy level is extremely low and my back has been hurting really bad this past week and I just don't want to do anything. But then I look around my house and feel guilty for not doing anything. So hopefully I can muster up enough energy sometime today and clean a little.

i understand how you feel anytime i have a deadline to get something done i procrastonate and wait til the last min but somehow once i turn them 80's rock bands on i seem to get things done really quick and the time flys.maybe i'll do this today and work on getting the office stuff taken down to the basement so we can turn it into the babys room.

Good luck mama hope you can get some energy!

I feel you... I was doing the same thing this morning... and DH conveniently had something else he had to do... so I finally got off my butt and "just did it." (Our living room was a mess thanks to DS's toys and remnants of snacks. =/) Vacuumed, dusted, picked up, etc.)

Now I'm going to tidy up the bathroom and then take a shower... since I was just informed we're going to a BBQ for my husbands Unit. (Army.) At least DS will get nice and worn out playing with the other kids, and I won't be on "duty."

If my DH wasn't around, I would get NOTHING done too.  The only real motivation I have right now is the fact that he is working his a$$ off spackling, sanding, painting and moving stuff between our rec room, the guest room, and the baby's room.  I feel pretty guilty sitting on my butt while he works.  So now I'm attempting to organize the closets in the house so we can actually make free space in the nursery closet.  Umm.. yeah.. I think I'm making more of a mess in the process.    This nesting thing isn't coming easily to me, that's for sure.

I have a list of stuff to do today also and the only reason I have any motivation is a) part of what I need to do has to be done so we can paint the baby's room next weekend and b) DH is shoveling rock out of our driveway where it was dumped this AM for our backyard and I feel guilty sitting inside doing nothing while he's doing that.

But I'm still sitting here online.

Don't you love it when they wait until the last minute to tell you about something going on.
