Avoidance Takes A Lot Of Work

Do you ever wonder how people view you? Today one of my mom friends said, "What? You mean you aren't perfect?" and she wasn't being sarcastic. It was a mix of flattering and weird for me to hear. I know that I can work hard, but I slack my way through most of every day, never getting close to motivated enough to do a whole heck of a lot.

I spend a lot of time on the computer and a lot of time watching TV with Noah. Basically, I sit on my ever expanding ass a lot. Then, after naptime, I rally the reserve forces of energy and clean the house and start getting dinner ready. Stay at home parents take note, this makes it look like you've actually been working all day. Then we have dinner, hang out and/or run errands and get Noah to bed late.

I don't get much accomplished. I'm not continuing my studies in massage like I want/ought to. I'm not exercising. I'm not journaling. All of these things would have positive results for me but I am avoiding them as if my life depended on it.

Is this depression? Or am I just lazy?
