I know that everyone is like this and if you aren't I want to grow up and be more organized like you!
Read on...
First I made a list of all the things I wanted to accomplish today.
5:45am - I started off by putting in a load of laundry. I also folded the load in the dryer.
Halfway through folding, one of the girls asked if I had seen her lunch card. I had just found it inside the dryer so I brought it out to the foyer to set by her backpack.
I noticed a burned out lightbulb on the stair lights so I went to the basement to get a new bulb.
While in the basement I emptied out the dehumidifier and whiped up the dribbles of water I spilled along the way.
I went upstairs to finish folding. I forgot about the light bulb because I got distracted by the water! Upon entering the kitchen I realized it was now 6:00am and I needed to get breakfast going. I filled the coffee pot and laid out some food that the girls could eat now or take with them in the car. When I opened the drawer where I keep the ziplock bags, I remembered that I needed bags and parchment paper so I put them on my grocery list.
My grocery list was still in the family room where I had left it the night before so I went in there, found the list and tidied up the room.
Being closer to my bedroom, I decided to also tidy that up, find my shoes and get prepared to be out in public driving the girls to school.
By this time the coffee maker had finished warming up and had produced a fine cup of coffee. I entered the kitchen at the same time as the girls. We all grabbed our stuff; coffee, breakfast, school bags, instruments, cash, purse, etc and headed out the door to go to school.
6:30am - As we passed the laundry room on our way out, I realized that load of clean clothes from the dryer was still not folded.
This is why I get nothing done!!!

ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteWas your husband a teacher at Oak Ridge High School in Tennessee back in 1995-6? I was a student of a Bob Biasi at that time and was trying to reconnect with him. Also let me know know if I've found the wrong guy.
Thanks,
