Lazy cold

    I know I have seemed very lazy. I have in fact been lazy. This freezing winter weather has eaten away at me and is settling in my bones. It's hard to have the drive to do things, simple things, so hard to have the energy. I'm spread too thin amongst all the things in my life, parents, sisters, in-laws, children, daily chores, problems, hobbies, and trying to write. Some days I forget to make breakfast. Some days I don't clean or cook at all. Sometimes I don't get laundry done for days, and often it doesn't get folded and put away before it is worn and needs to be washed again. Some days life itself is too much. Some days certain people just make my blood boil by talking to me. Some days I just want to curl up in bed, snuggle with my kids and husband and watch tv or movies all day. 

    I love winter and the snow but I miss having energy. The cold just tires me out and slows me down. Sure that wasn't a problem in high school, but now that I have 6 kids, and a wonderful husband, being tired is a costly effect of the winter. So even though it's -5 degrees outside, and all I want to do is snuggle with my babies, and read. I am going to try to not be lazy today. Do some household chores, read and write, then maybe I can be a little lazy and get cozy with my little snugglebugs (my kids).
