Justification

After the kids go to bed, I really like to just be lazy and watch TV. I usually end up feeling guilty for not being more productive though. Sometimes this inspires me to fold clothes while I’m watching TV. Last week, while I was watching So You Think You Can Dance, I had the inspiration to be productive again. So I spent an hour turning this:

But cleaning it up gave me what I felt was a good justification to watch TV for a while. I don’t always try to be productive, but this time it worked.

I swear, I am going to throw out every toy we own! I am so sick of cleaning them up! Good job! I say you've earned at least a week of vegging on the couch! No laundry necessary!

Nice work!!! It looks great. It's amazing how fast it gets dirty again.

Holy cow, nice work! I also like to be lazy at night, but I also like to eat with no children begging for a bite. Ivan sees that warning look in my eye and he doesn't even ask. So I top off watching TV with eating...I hear that's good for losing weight. Maybe I should follow your lead and do something besides eating :)
