to have a lazy day? Or two?

I'm on maternity leave.

Prior to Christmas I beat myself up every day that I was not doing enough. Going out, playing with baby, washing, tidying the house etc and felt quite anxious making sure I wasnt being lazy.

Since Christmas I've really got into my maternity leave and have even started to chill out a bit (I even bought myself a magazine the other day Grin).

But now I'm worried I'm starting to become lazy/won't have the get up and go when I go back to work.

Don't get me wrong, today I am looking after baby as well as always (baby currently having a nap), cleaned the kitchen and done some washing, but I feel that I should start doing things like defrosting the freezer, cleaning tops of cupboards etc. I did have plans today but they've been cancelled.

So - is it ok to online shop and watch a bit of TV instead of doing stuff around the house or going to the supermarket for the sake of getting out?

(P.S It's the huge pile of ironing that's making me feel guilty)

You might feel better for getting some stuff done. But there's nothing at all wrong with the occasional lazy day - enjoy it while you have the chance, and no need to feel guilty!
