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!
Carrie says
Oh, thanks for making me feel much better about what I should be doing…! LOL! Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments…Mam! {hee hee, I read the previous post too!}

Rebel Mother says
Ha! Gave me a tickle! As you say life is short and it is much better to do ‘Doing Instead’, than ‘Should be Doing’!
Enjoy!
PS Have to agree with Eliza – Mother-in-law clean????#
Busy Bee Suz says
Too funny. It is nice to know that you are just like the rest of us!!!!
I should be doing a lot of things…but I ain’t!!! (that is the southern in me)
Kristin says
What I should be doing would fill up a banker’s box, instead I’m blogging.
Eliza says
Mother in law clean – EEK thats scary đ
Kimberly says
I share many of those same should be’s. I wish there were 35 hours in a day to get the should be’s and the I am doing done all in the same day.
Have a great weekend!

I’ve got a mother-in-law-coming-over-so-house-must-be-cleaned-today situation here, too. So, what am I doing? Reading blogs, of course! đ
Missty says
Oh I am so right there with you! I should be doing a TON of things, and here I sit! Ugh!! LOL
But your last line is the BEST! Your right life is short! So enjoy, right!
Happy weekend! Hope its a good one!
And funny on the mam thing. It bugs me when I get mam’ed. lol
Loukia says
Hello, you have stolen my identity and I’d like it back now, please! đ Seriously, wow, like could we be twins? Because that sounds like ME! Haha! LOVED IT! (Wait – except for the baggy pants syndrome. I don’t have that, unfortunantly. I have too tight on my ass syndrome right now!)
Randi Troxell says
love that last line and …. what you should be doing is what you ARE doing! plenty enough time to diet, cook, clean – all that later!! have a great friday!!
Margo says
AMEN. Who came up with this should business anyway? “Says who?” is what I want to say back many days. Instead of saying “I should”, say, “I choose”. That’s what my life coach tells me. I’m working on it đ
