What I Should be Doing….cleaning up my house. Mother in Law is babysitting tonight and the house must be beyond regular babysitter clean, it must be Mother in Law clean.
What I’m Doing Instead….shopping for a new pair of jeans that does not make me look like I am wearing a diaper under my pants. Severe case of baggy pants going on here.
What I Should Be Doing….having a salad for lunch. Light on the calories, easy on the hips.
What I’m Doing Instead…Oh Help Me…. I’m munchin away on the dreaded yogurt covered pretzels again!!
What I Should be Doing…..ironing. Again.
What I’m Doing Instead….throwing those shirts back into the dryer and forcing those wrinkles out with the gift of heat!
What I Should Be Doing….hitting the treadmill.
What I’m Doing Instead….hitting the couch.
What I Should be Doing….reading the paper so I know what is going on in the world.
What I am Doing Instead….reading blogs! I can’t stop!
What I Should be Doing….grocery shopping for dinner.
What I’m Doing Instead….thinking it would be a lot easier to order in a pizza.
Life is Short….going to stop kicking myself for what I should be doing!

Sounds like my weekend too. Especially the what I should be doing. But the ironing awaits me with a stern look and an unforgiving glare.

LOL!! OMG I clean on days that I know he in laws are coming too. It’s good motivation for me once a week to get myself in gear, but this week they didn’t come over so my house is is chaos!!! And I have only grocery shopped and cooked a handful of times since I had my twins almost 3 years ago, ahhhh!!! Thanks for the reminded that it’s ok!!

Go take a long bath! And play your favorite music with an icy drink….
Or gas up your tank and do not look back when the mother in law arrives!!

You know, I always disliked the word “should” – especially now that they aren’t enough hours in the day to do it all!! Happy weekend!
