getting lazy

those who know me well know that i am slightly neurotic when it comes to cleaning and clutter. it's hard for me to walk away when i see something that needs to be fixed. steve can probably tell you, well....complain about, how we will be getting ready to go to bed and i will see something that needs to get done and i just can't let it go. i have to do it. sometimes i go to bed 30 minutes later than planned because i see a bunch of things that i "need" to do. don't get me wrong, my house isn't perfectly clean, but it's pretty good but not perfect. i do have piles of papers on my counter or books on my coffee table, but generally i hit a limit and i HAVE to tidy up. lately this has been difficult for me. i have this constant debate going on in my mind: "that needs to be cleaned up. i can't handle that stuff sitting there." "i don't feel like moving from this couch. maybe i can ignore it because i really don't have any energy right now." back and forth, back and forth. sometimes steve will come home from work and i will have a list on the counter of things i need to get done and he will do it all for me. here is the problem with that....i now want to make a list everyday. that way everything will get done that i want done but i won't actually have to do it. haha. i am so evil. well steve is in calgary right now. so making a list wouldn't accomplish anything. my nieces were over today and my one niece LOVES books. she comes in my house, heads straight upstairs to the book shelf and starts reading. i love it. BUT i am crazy when it comes to how my books are organized. so now there is a pile of books that need to be put back in their "proper" place. i have walked into my den a few times to put them away and then walked right back out because it would require me sitting on the floor and getting up off the floor sucks. so i left the "mess". i also have banana peels in my garbage that i know will start smelling soon so i SHOULD empty the garbage, but i don't want to. that would require me going to the basement to the garage and if i am going to empty the garbage i should empty the bathroom garbage cans from the 2 upstairs bathrooms but again, i don't want to do it. well i WANT to, but feel too lazy. the curtains in the baby's room are all pinned and ready to be hemmed but i am too lazy to get up on a chair, take the curtains off the rod and hem them. i want it done, but don't want to do it. i noticed that a bird crapped on the table on our patio....again, too lazy to clean it. these are all things that i would normally do IMMEDIATELY but lately i am getting more and more lazy. i keep hoping that the "nesting" energy will kick in so i can get some of this stuff done. maybe this will help prepare me for the disaster that my house will be once we have children running around.
