I ought to be blogging but I’m playing Lego Star Wars
I ought to be working but I’m doing the laundry
I ought to be reading for my leadership training but I’m absorbed in detectives
I ought to be running but I’m working through lunch time
I ought to be making dinner but I’m hugging my kids
I ought to be calling my friends but I’m vegging out with TV
I ought to be fetching the kids from school but I’m stuck in a meeting
I ought to be sleeping but I’m awake in the night again
I ought to be planning back to school but I’m focusing on today
I ought to be cleaning but I just can’t be arsed
I ought to be gardening but rain is enough
I ought to be parenting but I’m letting the digital babysitters rule
I ought be romantic but I’m having an early night again
I ought to be baking and preserving and blogging and enriching and supporting and kissing and collaborating and plotting and gossiping and designing and tidying…. but I’m playing candy crush instead.

I can identify with the I oughta be cleaning but can’t be bothered haha.

I think you ought to be doing exactly whatever it is you are doing in the moment Smells, but I’m sure you know that from the ironic slant of this post. I enjoyed reading it as I often feel the same way, but it’s so relaxing to shrug off the ought to and shoulds and just enjoy – so enjoy!

Thanks lovely. I am mostly comfortable with not doing the things I ought to be, but sometimes there’s this cloud of guilt too.
