Lazy Weekends...

Though I am a stay-at-home dad, I remain incredibly busy on a day to day basis with things other than the contents of Baby J's diapers. On most days, my "to do" lists stretch for a full page. I whirl around like a Tasmanian devil, a powerhouse of productive energy.

But, for some reason, that all changes when my wife is home on the weekend. For example, even though I have a ton of stuff to do, my schedule for yesterday (Saturday) consisted almost entirely of sleeping and watching television. I watched 3 DVD's pretty much in a row! My biggest accomplishment was taking a shower.

Since Saturdays and Sundays are like every other day for those of us without an official workweek, I have a feeling it has more to do with the presence of my wife than it does the day of the week. Like she's some enchantress of listlessness.

However, I'd like to change all that today. Even though the wife is here and it's Sunday, I want to get something done. I want to accomplish something. I'm not sure what that something is yet but I'm confident I'll get an idea if I just sit on the couch and watch t.v. for a little while. It may take all day but it'll come to me eventually. I can sit there all day. I have that kind of unwavering determination.

I think I'll hang out in my pajamas until it comes to me. You know, so I do put on the wrong sort of clothes for whatever this future task may be. And since I'm not getting changed just yet, it would be silly to take a shower.
