Just another normal Monday morning......

  • Start washing machine for laundry. The sound of water makes me remember that the dishwasher needs to be started. 
  • Walk into kitchen and turn on dishwasher. Phone rings. 
  • While on phone see that email from husband has come. 
  • Read and answer email after phone conversation is over. In the meantime, see 3 different emails that "need" to be read. 
  • Child #2, who is almost 9, can't seem to find a pencil and desperately needs help. Help child find said pencil which is on table right in front of him.
  • Tell child #1 to help child #4 put together a number puzzle. Take puzzle into living room and see cups on end table that should've gone into dishwasher. 
  • Put cups in the sink and see coffee that was made 2 hours before. Decide to warm up a cup.
  • While coffee is in microwave, see water bill on computer desk. 
  • Walk through laundry room, to get to the car, to get checkbook and see the washing machine full of water and no clothes. 
  • Try to push dirty clothes down into machine full of water. Close lid, and hope for the best.
  • The sound of water reminds me of the water bill so I retrieve checkbook from car. While in garage, see Christmas presents that are stored in storage room. Remember that something is on sale today that I need to order for hubby. 
  • Sit down at computer to order present for hubby and decide the blog needs to be updated.
  • While writing blog, remember coffee that was put in microwave that is now cold again.
  • Realize how truly miraculous it is that anything is ever accomplished around here!

  1. I am glad that I am not the only one who has (most) days like this. Somehow we get it all done (kind of). This job is not for the weak at heart! Hang in there!
