but just once in awhile.
I'm talking about having a day where I feel like I've actually accomplished something. Maybe even a couple of somethings. Most days feel like I've just spun my wheels all day.
There are lots of odds and ends to wrap up before Pete and I head off to the California desert in less than a month. When you are a mom, you don't get ready to leave by just packing your bag. I've got my stuff to contend with, plus the stuff of 4 others. In my younger, pre-family days, I could often put things off until the last possible nanosecond. Those days are long gone.
What did I take care of today?
-shopping for a special occasion dress for a 15 year old
-costume requirement for the above mentioned 15 year old
-marketing strategies mapped out for my husband's business
-making a table in MS Word with the help of a friend. Yay Linda!
-PSAT and PLAN tests scheduled and paid for again for the 15 year old
-MS Word reinstalled on my laptop (after massive hard drive failure)
What's left to get done tomorrow?
-bills, ick
-attack the disaster that I call my desk
-execute the maketing strategies
-rental car reservations for California
-hotel reservations for California
-homeschool reports for child #3
All this needs to get done in between finding time to exercise (oh spin class how I long to attend tomorrow), 2 children's doctor appointments, and assorted school instruction/direction.
When I type it all out, I begin to understand why on earth I can't manage to keep my eyes open past 10 p.m.
