Today's Poll
What are your lazy habits?
Re: Today's Poll
haha....oh boy. this could be long....
I just throw dirty laundry down the basement stairs instead of walking it down to the laundry room. Half the time it just lands on the steps and then DH gets mad at me (haha). I hate ironing. I donated a shirt to Goodwill because it wrinkled after I washed it and it just hung there for two months because I didn't want to bust out the iron. I mean, generally as a rule I just don't buy things that need to be ironed, that's how much I don't want to iron.
Half of my reasoning for BFing my kids was because I am too lazy to get up and make bottles.
I don't cook.....like ever. DH does it all.
There's more but I will stop here for now. Looking like a bad wife!
I loathe unloading the dishwasher. I always put it off. We also use paper plates most of the time to avoid doing dishes.
I hate cleaning out the coffee maker and programming it. All summer I've been drinking the premade iced coffee stuff and it's been so nice.
I've also really gotten lazy about cooking lately. If it's not frozen or super easy, I end up eating cereal.
Laundry gets left in the dryer for days because I forget about it. Sometimes laundry would get left in the washer long enough that I'd have to rewash it. I'm trying to not let that happen anymore since we got a new washer.
Our dining room table is some sort of super magnet for clutter. I clean the table off and hours later it is piled high with stuff. It's just right there so it's so easy to put stuff down there.
We don't vacuum *anywhere* near as often as we should. And I never do it, DH does.
The past 2 weeks, I bought stuff at the grocery store with good intentions to pack my breakfast and lunch during the week but every night I am too lazy to pack it so I have bought breakfast and lunch every day.

Scrubbing the shower. I hate that I have to do everything bathroom related. I've started to leave the bathroom for DH and it may be a few weeks before it finally gets touched.
I also hate filing important papers away. We have two big piles sitting in our bedroom.
I hate cleaning out the fridge. We don't always eat all of our leftovers and the Tupperware goes untouched for weeks.
For 2.5 years, I ironed my work uniforms. The past few months, I've been lazy and just take them out of the dryer and hang them up.
I do the bare minimum on our lawn. I mow every couple weeks and trim twice a year.
Both DH and I are guilty of this. But it's usually me who ends up getting angry and taking it out. Although, trash/recycling is DH's job, so I take the bag out of the can and just put it by the front door. That's not where it goes, but I'm way too lazy to take it downstairs and outside - DH will do that.

For the non-ironers -- DOWNY WRINKLE RELEASE SPRAY!
I bought a small travel-sized bottle in April to take on vacation with us, and man, this stuff changed my life! It might not make something look PERFECT, like a button-down, collared shirt, but for my blouses and wrinkles skirts, it's amazing. I just spray it on, stretch it a little, let it hang while I shower, and bam -- it's wrinkle-free.
