A lack of responsiblility

One of the best parts about being deployed, is that every once in a blue moon, you get to just completely abandon your adult tendencies of responsibility to anyone other than yourself.  In my case, it's slightly different since hubby is in fact here too, but with the constant varying schedules, I find more time for myself than I ever do at home.  We occasionally get a day off to help recharge our batteries, and during those days, my mind tells me that I should be getting up to take care of things, aka laundry, checking finances online (which very recently means I DON'T have to make a trip to the USO), hitting the gym and catching up on reading.  So as my alarm keeps going off (and I keep hitting snooze), I try to muster up all of my motivation for the day, and realize that I have none.  I can do all of my "to do"'s tomorrow without missing a beat and I can DEFINITELY just continue sleeping without a care in the world.  So what do I do?  Turn the alarm completely off and roll over back into blissful slumber.  Now, this behavior may absolutely be described as lazy and showing a lack of initiative, but really?  Really.  I'm a deployed soldier, who works 12 hours a day, without weekends or holidays and for goodness sake!  I have the rest of my life to have motivation on Saturday mornings.  So I've decided to thoroughly enjoy my freedom, and to go BACK to bed!  Just thought you should know.
