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.
Since I am a teacher by day, my blogging is limited to evenings and weekends (because of course I never do it from work. Ish.)
I try to do my blog reading and writing while my husband’s not home. I’ll hit the laptop as soon as he’s out the door for the gym, for example, so that when he gets back I can look busy with the laundry and lunch-packing. You know, like “See how hard I work? I never get a minute to sit down!”
I am SO glad I am not alone…somedays I take a shower at 5pm so that my husband does not know I was in my gym clothes all day long…where does my day go, seriously!
Sounds sadly familiar! lol.
Phew! I thought it was just me!
In China it is customary to wear the same clothes several days in a row. So, at least here, that would save you one thing!
Your day sounds like mine, minus the kidlets. I always feel bad when it’s noon and I’ve done nothing yet. So today I made myself clean before I did anything else. Now, all I have to do is exercise and I can sit here in front of the computer guilt-free!
I clean my house at night and do laundry at night too. Why, So I can blog all day long. A very go routine for me. I start as soon as the kids leave for school.
