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.
That is hysterical!! I have left the vacuum out to make it look like I’ve been super busy too. If I want to be really convincing I’ll leave the feather duster upstairs on the dresser too 🙂
sometimes i wish that’s how my life ran… but alas, i work full time. boo.
I shall place a paper bag over my head and confess to the same thing.
Sigh. there’s worse sins, right? I mean, we could be featured on an episode of “hoarders.”
oh, that happens to me all the time! i have a big rump to prove it, yikes!
ShhhhH! Stop telling my secrets to the internet! I also like to put stamps on the envelopes for the bills I paid and leave them out in an obvious place so it looks like I paid bills. And leave the window cleaner out too.
you just told our secret!
I’m the master of the mad dash. But check this out. Hubby gets home even later now so I can put it off until after dinner.
Sounds just like one of my days, right down to the sweats debate and leaving out the vacuum! Love it, lol.
whew…i think i need a nap now…smiles.
Haha, I thought I was the only one that left the vacuum i the middle of the room giving the illusion that I’ve been SOOO busy cleaning!
Love the illustration in this story 🙂 very relatable!
And so go the days of my life….
Wow! I can absolutely relate to that! Fortunately, I have mastered the art of the mad dash through the house to get everything done before hubby gets home. It’s important to maintain the illusion of being very busy. 😉
I hear ya! I’ve had days like that too. I get caught up reading blogs that I haven’t accomplished a single thing.
And this beautiful weather doesn’t help too. I’ll end up eating ice cream instead of doing laundry.
Oh yes, I can relate Lol!!
OMG! Have you been spying on me? This sounds very like most of my days. Ugh! I need some balance.
