A whole bunch about us you may have never wanted to know.

I have a little confession ...

My confession is this: I'm the laziest person you know. Seriously. If you've seen my house you have probably guessed that. I am not about to clean after the kids go to bed; therefore, my house never quite gets as clean or uncluttered as I'd like it.

I was thinking about my laziness this morning as I tied my shoes. I realized that I haven't worn these shoes in a while, because I prefer to not have to tie my laces. Yes, imagine the exertion and effort it takes to bend over and tie shoes! However, for that purpose alone I didn't wear these shoes at all last winter. And that's precisely why I wear sandals all summer (this also knocks out the step of having to put on socks. Socks with sandals? Those people have their own issues ...).

I actually have shirts I haven't worn in YEARS because they require ironing. I keep thinking I should just iron them or get rid of them ... and yet I don't do either. Maybe one day I'll whip them out and people will think I've bought a whole new wardrobe. (Good thing button-up shirts really don't go out of style ... not that it would stop me from wearing them if I did get around to ironing them ...)

I can often be found eating ice-cream while watching the Biggest Loser. We've joked about the irony of it. However, if any of you are also fans of the show, I'm glad to say I wasn't doing this during Tuesday's episode when trainer Bob said their show doesn't do us any good if we're just sitting and eating ice-cream while watching it. Paul and I just laughed ... and then considered dishing us up a bowl. (We didn't ... probably because we were both too lazy to go dish it out. :)

In any case, I just thought I'd mention how much I enjoy being lazy. I mean I REALLY enjoy it. It's a shame, though, because I rarely get the chance to be really lazy. I have decided that when my youngest goes to kindergarten, though, I'm sitting there for a week watching movies and doing NOTHING. Anyone's welcome to join me ... as long as you don't expect my house to be clean when you get here. (That'll happen the second week ...)

BTW, on an unrelated note (except for the ice-cream comment), Dreyer's Girl Scout Samoas ice-cream is out!!!!! I LOVE that stuff ...

I totally laughed when I read your little confession! Can I just say "ditto"? I WAS eating ice cream during the Biggest Loser until Bob scared me into putting it down! It was funny and creepy at the same time. Mostly just funny though :)

I laughed too. I've never eaten ice cream during the show but I've commented on how I just lay there watching it because I'm too tired/lazy to get up join them in their exercises. I also have a wide variety of exercise videos that get done once or twice, and then collect dust. Oh, and lacing shoes is a pain! I love slip on boots:)

I don't believe you. Sure, you like to relax but I also happen to know you are one of the kindest and most giving people in the world. Taking care of the people around you is work. Probably doesn't seem like work when it comes so naturally to you. :) About the ice cream... I am so going to get some when nap time is over!!! Its all your fault I am addicted!
