Am I the only one?

After I work two or three days in a row, my first day off is a waste. I don't get anything accomplished. I have all these big plans, but when I get up in the morning I don't even feel like changing out of my pj's. I just want to sit at the computer and waste the day away.

Then, I feel so guilty when my husband gets home from work and the house is still a mess. (I have washed the dirty dish and put on a load of clothes to wash...have done something :) )

You only waste ONE day?????

that's on a good week

I try to get all my work done on my work days that way my days off are just that. That and I hired a house cleaner to do the floors, windows and bathroom twice a week. It all helps when you have four kids and both work full time.

I can have four days off and then turn around and think I've done nothing with them but I study too so when you add everything up you need some time to do your own thing even if it's to veg in front of the telly for a day or two, or a week, but a month would be too long i think. Or would it?...

Here is my philosophy: Hubby can come home and say thank you for all things I did do and have a pleasant evening, or he can come home and complain about what didn't get done and have a not so pleasant evening. It's pretty much up to him. :innerconf Funny, he never complains!!!! Do I feel guilty if nothing gets done for one day??? Absolutley not!!!!:w00t:

Lol, I'd love to stay in my pjs everyday, no, you are not the only one :)

I do this too! It's usually at least a day that I lose! Esp with working nights so I sleeo all day or spend the day tired and cranky.....

I feel the same way! I'm so exhausted that I just don't want to do a darn thing. Then after you've recovered it's time to go back and do it all over again.

My husband never says a word when he comes home and the house is a complete disaster. He understands and he helps out a lot around the house as well as my children. I do however feel guilty for sitting on my toushy all day w/out doing anything, but sometimes you just need a break from it all. We need to learn that it's okay to take care of ourselves as well as everyone else. At least I do. :onbch:

Count me in.

I'm still in my PJs. I even worked out in them....at home, of course.

I usually spend the first 24-48hrs recovering too.

You're not alone!!

*sips margarita whilst not caring that the house is a wreck*

Well now I feel better... I thought I was just lazy....but I am TAKING CARE OF MYSELF. lol

Yep, I did the same thing when I worked at the bedside. That's one of the reasons why I disliked working 12 hour shifts so much. I had no time left to do anything except eat and sleep when I got home, and then I spent a whole day (sometimes two) recuperating when I finally had a day off. I always have to roll my eyes a bit when I hear the "Wow, it would be great to work only 3 days/wk."

That's funny!

I work 7p-7a and try to make the day I go back to work a good one. Clean, cook, do things to make the next few days smooth

Lol, I'd love to stay in my pjs everyday, no, you are not the only one :)

Just came off my 2 days straight (ok so that is not so much compaired to many of you) It is now 8:30 pm I am still in my jammies from this a.m.
