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.

Everyday, I do this everyday and I feel like I am really missing out on my life but I love blogging.
My husband will call and it feels like 5 minutes later he is home.
I say how did you get home so quick. He says that was 45 minutes ago I talked with you………..
Missie says
Been there, done that and it doesn’t get better as they get older either! LOL

I wish I could get in more blog reading time these days! But my two year old is keeping me on my toes constantly! Not that I dont get to do plenty, mind you but more would be fabulous too! Now all my blog reading gets done in the evening when both girls are home and not quite so wound up…and once they are in bed, its on!

I’m so glad to see that i’m not the only one who can lose a whole day on the internet!
Jacqui says
wow you just described me!! i got so lost in blog land that some days i forbid myself from turning on the computer!
kathryn says
Oh, yeah! This was fabulous! And so true, it borders on scary.
I refer to it as “Continual Computer Contentment”, or the dreaded CCC. It’s the modern-day equivalent to the Bermuda Triangle.
**ZAP! ZOOM!!!** Day’s GONE.

Salt says
Isn’t it amazing how you just get sucked into it? This happened to me this past Sunday. I decided to sit down for a few and read a bit before my yoga class and the next thing I knew, I was almost late getting out of the house.
Lindzena says
Ha! Sounds like my day when I’m at home… except no kids, just a computer… so I have far less of an excuse than you do. Congrats on being more useful than me at home!! Your blog is ridiculously cute, keep it up!
Sara @ Domestically Challenged says
So glad I’ve never done that. Ever. ahem.
Those cricks suck though, don’t they?
Cheeseboy says
