The alarm clock goes off and I hit the ground running, errr okay. So I rub my eyes, throw my hair in a pony tail and stumble down stairs hollering at the kids to wake up. Same diff.
It’s a mad rush to get the kids dressed, feed them something barely nutritious for breakfast, pack lunches, check backpacks, send them back upstairs to change their …inappropriate/ too tight/wore that yesterday/you are not wearing sweatpants to school no matter how many times you tell me you that’s what all your girlfriends do…. clothes. Hurry hurry, yes you have to wear a sweater out the door mayhem. Sigh.
Turn on the coffee. Throw in a load of laundry, pick up a leftover piece of cold toast and sit down for just a minute to pay some bills. Oh, maybe read a blog or two while I’m here……..
WTH? Next thing I know it is 2pm? Yes I said 2pm! I am still sportin’ the sexy pony, have accomplished exactly nothing, and now have a killer crick in my back as a gift from sitting on my rump all day.
Run my butt through the shower, start the dishwasher, take a swipe at the kitchen crap magnet counter, throw in more laundry, and vacuum the front hall. Leave that beautiful Dyson vacuum in the middle of the family room to help complete the illusion that I actually did something today.
Grab an apple to shut up my growling stomach.
Now must drive like a mad women to get to the school before the bell goes!
Eeek. One more day lost in the world of blog.
Mrs EyeCanSee says
Thank god….I thought I was the only one who could lose entire days to the internet. It’s kind of scary really!
Randi Troxell says
hahahaha… its a classic, leaving the vacume in the floor… love it!

You forgot the part where you and I sneak off to chat at a little coffee shop for an hour and a half and then window shop at Sephora for another 30 minutes before going home to a clean house, where hubby took care of everything, the kids did their homework and we spontaneously lost two pounds. Wait, that didn’t happen. SOB!
Cara Smith says
I have those days, except I get less laundry done.

Livingit! you have a dyson? wow even to have it laying in the livingroom would be nice…
Holly says
We are living parallel lives…except my kids are not wearing too tight clothing..the older one doesn’t care..the younger one only wears monkey things. Blogging the great time sucker…I would be much more productive in the real world without the Internet.

Mighty M says
I totally get these days! Every day is a fresh start, so good luck tomorrow!! 🙂
Alyssa says
Funny. We can get lost so easily, can’t we? Today I didn’t. So it’s late, late, late at night.

I wonder if they will put this in the diagnosis manual for psych disorders…something like..”Blogemia”..or “Blogsessive Compulsive Disorder”..I swear we cant kick it alone..?what should we do..!
litlsuzzy says
congratulations! you get more done in a day than I do. I figure it’s just going to get messed up again so it can wait until later. I have been known to move stuff around so it looks like I at least tried.
Caroline @ The Feminist Housewife says
I definitely have days like this…
it’s so horrible when my hubs comes home and complains about his back hurting from working 13 hour days, and then I’m like, yeah my back is killing me…
from sitting on my ass all day.
Lol!
Technodoll says
Hey! Replace the kids with chickens and dogs and you have my life! LOL LOL!
Me (aka Danielle) says
Sounds like a day in the life of…ME!

What a great day! I don’t get them too often, but every now and then I “call in sick” to work and spend a great day like that. (The trick is to call in sick when you first wake up so that your voice still has that froggy sound!)
