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!

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 :)
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!!
Hello, you have stolen my identity and I'd like it back now, please! ;) 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!)
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
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! :)
"Ahh Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda"
"Stop should'ing all over yourself" sista!
Some great "shoulda" quotes from Sex and the City - my mantra to life!!
Can I add one?
What I Should Be Doing....working on my own business blog
What I'm Doing Instead....commenting on other people's blogs!
Have a fab Friday!

Please pass the yogurt pretzels and wait for the dryer to do its' job. Happy Friday, great post.
Mirror on my life!
great post x
I should be working. ;-)
it took me four times clicking on your blog for it to work...grrr.
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!
Mother in law clean - EEK thats scary :-)
What I should be doing would fill up a banker's box, instead I'm blogging.
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)
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????#
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!}
Have a great weekend...no matter what you are doing! :)
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!
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!!
What should I be doing? Spending time with Hubby.
What I'm doing Instead- Reading posts from those who were so gracious to leave comments ths week.
Thank You. Keep Doing What You're Doing!
Sounds like a day in my life, except for the mother-in-law. She's on the other side of the country, hee hee.
I love, love the last line!!

yogurt covered pretzels...now that's MY KIND OF TREAT! And isn't a dryer an iron? no? Yes. Jean...I gave up on them after baby #1 - o v e r r a t e d.
Just say what I say, "I don't feel like it!"
What a great post! I loved it! Did you find some cute jeans? I love jean shopping, just not on me!
Stacie-I removed my music player..I'm told this should speed up loading time! Thanks for sticking with me:)
Sara-Found some great jeans AND they were on sale! Woo
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!!
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.
