If I don't flip my calendars to May, it can still be April, right?
(Oooo! On the same note if I skip ahead to the June page, can it be time to move already?)
See I have these lists of things to do... And yesterday (and part of Tuesday for that matter) I felt awful and didn't get some stuff done. And then random other things get thrown at me like "oh your daughter needs her vision tested!" And "you can get Zach's new skates heat molded and sharpened after school." Which ended up taking 2 hours and 15 minutes with driving time (I had figured an hour tops) and we missed the twin's soccer practice. That wasn't a terribly bad thing (the soccer practice part, the hour and a half at the ice rink sucked) because Emily has been misbehaving during soccer practice and Ally was having one meltdown after another yesterday. So they both went to bed at 7:30. I may start doing that every night because this morning Emily had cleaned the kitchen (my migraine-ish headache kept me from straightening up last night) and Ally was ready to go to school a full 10 minutes early unlike most mornings when I'm shoving them out the door to run after the bus.
Where was I? Oh the lists... Not getting done... For some reason I have a warped sense of time and can't figure out how long things take to actually do them. (This is Greg shaking his head so hard in agreement that there's been another earthquake in the Indianapolis area.) In the measly 3 days Greg is gone this week, I had planned to clean the carpets, wash the walls, scrub the basement floor, and repair two kitchen chairs. Which that's all (probably) possible to do if I didn't have 5 children to feed and clothe and help with homework, a massive headache and cold, 2 Girl Scout events to put together and do, and keep up with my Etsy shop. (Which I'm actually a bit behind on in orders, so sorry lovely customers!)
Right I know, I'm only one person but it just all seems theoretically possible so why can't I do it? My head is starting to hurt again thinking about it all. Can I say here that I'm not cleaning the carpets, washing walls, scrubbing the basement floor, and repairing kitchen chairs today? I think I can get that all done tomorrow...
