How do you motivate someone else to get going when you don't feel like it yourself? My daughter no 2 does like to stay in her bed far longer than is necessary. I was not allowed this luxury growing up, my father was an early riser and we had a dog to take out before school, so a lie in for me was 7.30am. Nowadays 9.30 feels absolutely slovenly and I don't like to stay in bed once I am awake. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those people who is up with the lark and getting on with the jobs of the day, I like to get up, have breakfast and then read my book with a cup of tea by my side. I am not at all motivated when it comes to "housewifely" things. However, once I have kicked myself up the bum and tidied around I do like to get on and go out. The problem is that daughter is still lolling in bed. I steel myself and stick my head round her door to chivvy her along. She's a teenager - need I say more? Its now lunchtime and I have been into her room twice to get her moving. The irony of it is that we are going shopping for shorts - for her, not me. I am far too lenient!
Oh, here she is :o) Looks like we are off. I don't anticipate a fun outing, we have to take youngest son who is busy playing on his new xbox. I say new, its new to him, having bought it from his older brother as a birthday present. Wish me luck!
