i think being lazy is very under rated

I love being lazy at the time

Then after a lot a lazy I don't enjoy it as much as guilt
Kicks in

Then even later after more uneasy laziness I look around and am surrounded by an awful mess and then I panic and cry.

So I'm on the (lazy ass) fence

There is a quote I read somewhere about lwasting time being required for creativity. I save that as my excuse :)

Seriously though I do go slightly mad if I don't have a large amount of faffing about time during the week.

I think lazy is a bit like takeaways and chocolate - its great initially but after a while it feel a little less great and eventually too much of it won't leave you feeling great.

Though right now laziness and chocolate during DS's nap sounds great!

Me too. I need a lot of downtime to be lazy or I feel like I am going crazy

I love being lazy but feel guilty with it. So I can really only enjoy it if I've put some effort in first - like yesterday, I did some cleaning, went for an hour-long walk, did some exercise DVD and was then very lazy indeed for the rest of the evening. Does that count? Smile

I agree being lazy is great in the short term, and too much of a good thing like Chocolate it doesn't feel good in the long term.

Me too, OP. DS is off today with a sore throat and slightly high temperature, so I'm just about to put my breakfast dishes in the dishwasher. I also got dressed and put a wash on, but that's all. Suppose I'd better go and clean my teeth now...

Very very important to have some lazy time. BTW it's not lazy, it's recharging time, and without it we'd all blow a fuse :o so stop feeling guilty.

I feel guilty when I just do nothing, apart from watching son & TV. However I am 21 weeks pregnant with sciatica so doing a lot is very difficult/painful.
