I don’t want to adult today. I don’t.

December 5, 2016 by The Rambler 56 Comments

I Dont Want To Adult TodayI don’t want to adult today. I just don’t.

It wasn’t happening for me when I opened my eyes this morning.  The child me told the adult me she wasn’t having it and we don’t want to do ANYTHING. I told her look….

I would like to not wake up before everyone this morning.  Let my noodle stay sunk into the pillow of heavenly abyss and dream, I demand inside.

I want to not stumble around my kitchen and make breakfast, lunch, and dinner today making a meal that is family friendly.  I want to make brie flavored pumpkin ricotta filled peanut butter candied pear sandwich. For all 3 meals if I want.  Because I like all these things and it won’t matter if no one else does. (disclaimer:  I don’t eat all those things together, together, but for arguments sake…you get what I’m throwing down)

It would pleasure my internal diva to not pick up the dog poop in the backyard so the lawn guy doesn’t skip my yard today.  So what if I want to live in a delusional state of mind that when the dog goes to do his business, it magically disappears.

I’m boycotting my grocery store run.  I want to have a Mary Poppins fridge.   I will just open her up and her mystical wonderful things will happen.  Like, a penguin will come out and serve me coffee in a suit.

I want to not do 1335905868 articles of clothing in the laundry area.  I want them to animate and fly into the washing machine and take the heat without my hands helping.  Sigh.  And yes, fold and put away please.

I want to not sit on the computer and pay the bills. I want to pretend that money DOES grow on trees and that all I need to do is walk outside, clip a little here and the husband won’t grumble when he checks our account.

Ew…I know this is all kinds of Nancy Negative today but, man….she showed up hard this morning.

The Child Me shoved her thumb back in her mouth took a deep sigh and said “Fineeeeee” in the brattiest of tones and went back in her room to wait for another day.

    Yes if the laundry could just do itself that would be fabulous. Why do I have to do it?!

    When I think about adulting, I always flash back to when my kids were little and barfed. My gut reaction was always, “Wait. *I* have to clean that up??” #happynowlinkup

    Team NO ADULTING! I feel like this every, single day. I don’t want to put pants on, especially if they have a zipper. I don’t want to check homework tonight, and I definitely don’t want to go outside and see real people. Pass. LOL. So relatable! #happynowlinkup

    Dropping in again from #FridayFrolics I’m still avoiding the grocery store but my children may need something more substantial than fish fingers and cheese toasties tomorrow. Adulting may have to commence again in the morning.

    #eatsleepblogrt couldn’t agree more, the bonus of adulting is you can jump on the sofa, eat chocolate for breakfast…just don’t let the kids see ?

    My girlfriends and I recently went away for a weekend. We hired a cottage and basically stayed in our PJ’s all day and talked, and drank and ate. Some time out from being a grown up and it was amazing. Thanks for linking up to #FridayFrolics. Have a fantastic Christmas. Hope to see you linking up again in 2017.
