This is how I feel my day was yesterday.
I decide to do the laundry. As I start toward the laundry room, I notice that there are cheerios all over the floor and my car keys are in the cereal bowl. I decide to pick up the cheerios before I do the laundry. I lay my car keys down on the counter, put the cheerios in the trash can under the counter, and notice that the trash can is full. So, I decide to take out the trash. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left, my extra checks are in my desk in the office/playroom, so I go to my desk where I find a sippy cup full of juice.
I'm going to look for my checks, but first I decide I should put sippy cup in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the sippy cup, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye --they need to be watered.
I set the sippy cup on the counter, and I discover baby wipes that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back in the bathroom, but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the wipes back down, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote, one of the kids left it on the kitchen table. I realize that after school when they go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote as they fight over who lost it, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.
I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down, get some paper towels and wipe up the spill.
Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the laundry isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm cup of juice sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can't find the remote, I can't find the wipes, and I don' t remember what I did with the car keys.
Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail.

I think you just described my life in a nutshell!! That's too funny. I always wonder how I get so tired, but I never seem to get anything done. Hmmm... I love your new background. It is so cute!
Hey, that is my day! It is amazing how much time and effort it takes to do NOTHING. Fun background. Happy Anniversary.
HA HA, that's hilarious. Good luck with that, I don't think that is something easily conquered. I have been working on that for quite some time now. And I’m sad to say there is no triumph story here. (Remember our lovely conversation concerning kitchen floors?) You know, you could always resort to more drastic measures, maybe some medication or robotic brain alteration? Either way when you figure out how to conquer this entirely miserable never ending pattern, please let me know. :)
I have a lot of days like this! It's nice to know I'm not the only one. We have good intentions and that has to count for something!
Oh my gosh! I was busting up laughing, because so many of my days are just like that! There's always something that interrupts every project I start! You crack me up! I hope you get your laundry done eventually! Maybe after another five chores that need to get done...
p.s. I love the new look of your blog! =)
HA HA!! THAT'S HILLARIOUS! It's so true though. I can totally relate!
