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.
I’m glad you censor what your kids wear to school…of only more parents did that I wouldn’t have to stare at breasts and buttcracks all day.
I know this world of which you speak! I’m afraid a lot of us do. We can kinda take comfort in that fact.
Now did you actually write this about you, or are you peeking in my front window? I wish I had a dollar for everyday that I have done this. 🙂 Here’s to a more productive day later. Who says it needs to be tomorrow?
Yup …. I relate !
I am laughing because that has been me today too. We were on vacation last week and didn’t blog so I am playing catch up today! It’s now 2:30 and I have been in this seat since 9:30 a.m.! I need to sweep, but there is always tomorrow. I am enjoying my all day alone routine once again! 🙂 Yahoo!
I can relate. I do this ALMOST everyday. Its addicting I swear.
P.S. I’m following you now =)
You just described my perfect day!! Thankfully, I had a whole bunch of those over my 2 week break. 🙂
I’m a nerd. I ‘reward’ myself with blog-reading when my chores are done — but that’s usually why I’m running around in circles trying to get dinner started and Li’l Bit naps for too long too!
Can happen all too easily! Big ‘ole time vacuum is this blog stuff!
That’s how I roll every day I’m home. And half the time I don’t read that many blogs. Where does the time go?
I hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but with my last child off to college, life hasn’t slowed down one bit! Wonder if it does once you reach retirement age??? I’m beginning to think not…
There’s an award waiting for you on my blog!
Sounds just like all too many of my Mondays!
I know these kind of days all too well! I sometimes leave the vacuum out for the “illusion” too! haha!
Oh, that happens to me soooo many times!
