A Rainy Saturday Afternoon

What is it about rainy Saturday afternoons that make it impossible to get up and get anything done? I managed to clean this morning. Got the kitchen cleaned up and vacuumed most of the downstairs including moving the couch, loveseat and chair in the family room and vacuuming behind them. Started dusting that room, but I put it down when the ATT guy came to fix/replace the DVR box. I haven't picked it up the duster again. It's still sitting in the family room.

Now Richard's on the couch watching a movie, so I don't feel like I can go out there and interrupt that. He deserves a little quiet time. So...I'm on the computer playing games and Facebooking. (When did that become a verb?)

Oh I *could* work on my sharing time lesson for tomorrow. Or my lesson plans for next week. Or the monthly bills and budget.

But it's raining and I just can't seem to move that direction. I mean...my primary book is all the way across the room. So are my lesson plan materials. And the bills are in a completely different room from where I currently sit.

It would take...effort.

It would take...desire.

Eh. I think I'll go back to Facebook and work on my farm. It's much more immediately rewarding and I don't have to move much.

Zzzzzzz..........

Overheard

All within the space of 5 minutes before 8:30 am on New Year's Day.

John, from upstairs: "Stop breathing on me!"

Then...

Richard, calling upstairs: "James, are you being a pest?"
James: "Yes."

Richard (to James): "Go brush your teeth."
John: "Yeah...brush 'em good!"

Gotta love it!

Happy New Year!!!
