Reverse Roles

Have you ever been in the mode of just NOT WANTING to do the necessities? That's what I'm in right now. With the boys home it feels like shoveling snow while it's still snowing. So I wait until Brando comes home and do it then or he does it. The sucky part is I don't get to enjoy it then, just for a few brief seconds and then I go to sleep before I wake up in the morning to another disaster. Sometimes I feel like a backyard would fix everything. I could just MAKE them go outside to play, then at least the snow would subside for a minute. I try to convince myself it'd be just another factor they'd get bored with but having always had a backyard in the past I know that's not the truth - they freaking love it. In the meantime I'm stuck shoveling snow while it's still snowing.
