I'm not sick. I'm feeling perfectly healthy. The sun is shining and it may even be warm enough to play outside. But all I want to do is veg with the boys in the den and play video games or watch cartoons.
I can almost hear my mom's voice: "It's a beautiful day outside! Put that Nintendo away and go play!"
And then there's my 8 year old voice saying: "But I don't wannaaaaaa!"
Is there any rule out there that says I can't mope around just because? Do I have to find something creative and educational and mind-developing for the boys? Can't we just have a day where we don't do any running around for errands and sit on our butts at home?
I really do have things to do. I need to pick up a sweater from the dry cleaners (and pray that two years in storage with a mystery yellow stain doesn't ruin it), get base stickers for my new car, get a new military ID, send a package to a friend in Japan.... not to mention, take the kids to the park or the beach or something other than the front yard of our house.
All those things require me to look presentable. I need to take a shower, make sure my face is a little done up (so I don't scare anyone), and make sure my hair is respectable... which (for anyone who doesn't know me) is a huge feat.
But I don't wannaaaaaaaaaaa!
Poor Hubby. He's going to come home to a wife in sweats, two boys probably in a TV coma, and leftovers for dinner. Sorry Hubby, I'll try to put some effort in... maybe about an hour before you get home.
