Making my own life harder when DH is away

[prettygirlincrimsonrose]

Does anyone else do this? DH is away this weekend and we have DS (19 months). I was planning to get things sorted once DS was in bed in order to make things easier tomorrow, stuff like making sure things are tidy and getting food prepared, and then enjoy watching programmes DH doesn't watch. But even though I knew it would make tomorrow so much easier, I just couldn't motivate myself to do anything, I just ate too much and messed about on my phone, couldn't even be bothered to watch an actual programme. Ended up going to bed early but slept badly and I'm now up and doing some stuff, but I'm going to be shattered looking after a toddler tomorrow. It feels like on some level I'm trying to make things difficult for myself and I have no idea why.

Just a theory but if you get everything done tonight, you'll have nothing to do tomorrow. So you'll have nothing to fill your time or break up the day and it might drag a bit, esp. if DH isn't there.

My OH was away last night and all day today. I have left all the housework! I’ll take DD (2) to soft play this morning then spend the day doing jobs to pass the time and won’t feel bad as DD has had time at soft play!
I also spent last night watching tv and eating crap! I’m awake now because I needed a wee (37 weeks pregnant) but I’ll be asleep again soon for a couple more hours and definitely won’t be getting up to do stuff!

You sound more sensible than me purplelion! I was tossing and turning and worrying about stuff so I couldn't get back to sleep. Have fun at soft play.

And I think you might have a point GibbonLover, just feel like I should be doing lots of fun days with DS and I should have done things yesterday to make that easier.
