I have always prided myself on my ability to juggle multiple things at one time. My mom has always said that I burn both ends of a candle and then attempt to burn the middle too. Well, I like to stay busy, but lately I have had trouble completing my mile long lists. I "write" them in my head, and then usually attack them. But, since I got back from Florida, I have lost my energy. I just want to play with the kids.
Ok, so I cleaned up the playroom and had Andy help me re-arrange the furniture in our bedroom. Oh, and I cleaned our windows and took down the curtains and washed them. After that, I removed the cheap plastic blinds the former owners had and replaced them with roller shades that do a better job of blocking the light so that Andy can sleep now that he is on the third shift. Alright, maybe I have not been a complete slacker, but I did not do what I wanted to do:
1. Arrive home from Florida and put away all the clothes from the suitcases (still not done)
2. Finish all laundry, including fresh sheets on my bed (alright, did the sheets)
3. Clean the bathrooms (does cleaning the toilets count?)
4. Go grocery shopping (Seriously, have had to do this several time, it was like Andy was starving for food by the time we got home; and the baby is eating 6 jars of baby food a day!)
5. Finish painting the dining room (has been unfinished since last November; don't look up anyone)
6. Start painting the finished basement (have had the paint for nearly a year)
7. Weed the flower beds (too hot)
8. Finish organizing the office (the computer sucks me in)
9. Finish sorting BJ's clothing and figure out where I put the shelves to his bookcase (it has only been without shelves since before he was born!)
10. Create Pre-k lessons for my husband to follow with MM so that she continues to progress even though we can not afford daycare this year (does thinking really hard about this count?)
So you see why I just want to sit around and play with the children.
