Laziest day ever?

[screamer1]

This is week8 of our lockdown. We're barely going out. Kids aren't sleeping at night - they're 3 and 5. Were exhausted because we're making up work hours once they're in bed, so going to sleep at 1am only to have musical beds all night.

Aibu to put on back to back films today? Never done anything like that before. We just need a break.

YANBU. I'm being lazy today. I'll wash pots and put some laundry away. But that's it.

I haven't even made lunch. Ds2 went to a local diner for take out Sunday lunch. It was delicious.

Enjoy your day OP. You deserve it

You are DNBU.
Wall to wall films with duvets and pillows
No cooking - just snacks and then a delivery later if you can, or a very simple pasta and ready made sauce/frozen fish, chips and peas. Do-nothing days are essential when you are sleep deprived.

My DS2 is autistic and never slept more than 2 hours until his teens. We were perpetually exhausted and had a lot of days like that. Did none of us any harm but all of us a lot of good.

I have hit a wall this weekend. I was doing well. Online yoga, jogging 3 times a week, baking.... today I just want to curl up and eat chocolate. I didn't go out at all on Friday. Just sat in the garden. Usually, I'd feel sick of a day of completely laziness. But I'm just spent/bored. I'm working from home too and there's just no 'off time'. By the time my sons in bed it's 9pm and then he's up again at 6. By the time I've had dinner and tidied up it's pretty much bed time - then whole thing starts again.

I'd just love to get out this house on my own for a few hours. Go for a swim, see a friend ANYTHING!

We're having a real lazy day today too OP.

I've just ordered us takeaway (Italian food, I'm so excited) and will eat it in front of the TV.

Nice hot bath later, cosy pyjamas and a film in bed - that's about as much as I'm doing.

Enjoy!

We've had a lovely lazy day here.
Played with DSs giant blocks/toy trains all morning.
Had sandwiches/toast/leftovers for lunch.
Now DS1 is watching cbeebies, DS2 is napping on me and DH and I are on our phones.
When DS2 wakes up I'm going to have a nice bath before our daily walk. It'll be nice not having to constantly watch out for people as its gray and cold here.
Take away KFC for Dinner, DH is very excited.

Of course you are not. It's one day. Even of it was one week, what is that ina lifetime? Relax and don't let guilt ruin it. Enjoy every minute of it as much as you can.

We are currently having one day a week (usually Saturday) where we do pretty much nothing but TV and gaming, and stay in pyjamas. High level lockdown if you like. I think something similar would help you. Lockdown is exhausting as is looking after small kids. Have one day a week as a total breather - so yes to back to back films.

Well, it's Mothers Day here today. Go for it.

I’m still in my pj’s trying to plan some sort of birthday for ds2 in a couple of weeks.
I’ve done a load of washing and a bit of dusting but that’s it and I’m not planning on upping my game anytime soon today!

Thanks all, glad to know it's a goer. I always feel so guilty when I do stuff like this. It's ridiculous I know, if someone else was saying the same I'd say go for it.

The last few weeks I've found myself increasingly on the phone when I'm with the kids and just finding it all quite exhausting. Maybe a weekly film day is a good idea.
