Lazy Days

Every so often (okay realistically about once a week), I have a lazy day where I just mope around the house. I feel like I deserve one of these because I work hard the other days or I'm not feeling well. My husband is very supportive and he understands this, even though he doesn't get any lazy days because he has a regular job that requires him to work hard every day.

I don't have kids so I'm sure I won't have time for lazy days once I do and I understand the moms who can't do this but I feel like at this point in my life, they are important for my mental health. I can feel very overwhelmed having a house that is in never-ending construction and all the dust and dirt that comes with it. My house never seems perfect, no matter how much time I spend cleaning so I need that one day a week to just unwind and not to feel overwhelmed by everything.

On these days, I'll still make my husband's breakfast and lunch and I'll cook dinner. I also still do my workout and whatever cleaning I feel like doing (such as dishes, making the bed, or picking up clutter). I just don't make my to-do list and I don't feel like I have so much to get done before my husband comes home.

I'm sure some people don't agree with this and think that because I don't have kids yet, I should have a real job but this is what's right for me.
