didn't get a thing done today.....


I totally am having those days where at the end of the night you are EXHAUSTED but feel like you got nothing done.... I was in the shower, at 5PM, discouraged about just that...getting nothing done. I started trying to run down the list of what I did all day so I could figure out why I never get things crossed off my list... there are piles everywhere, dishes in the sink.....

*Got two kids up
*Got them both dressed
*Fed them both
*Peed
*Packed 2 backpack
*Packed one lunch
*Found 4 shoes
*Found Frog costume since Olivia was sick and missed Noahs Ark day last week
*Took pictures of said frog outside
*Drove both girls to school
*Made breakfast
*Peed
*Did 2 loads of laundry
*Did dinner dishes from last night
*Checked email
*Cleaned living room enough so I could sit on the couch and eat cold breakfast I had made half hour earlier

*Paid bills
*Got to school to do room mom duties at pick up time
*Went to courthouse with crying child to make sure my husband does not get arrested on Nov 16th for subpoena that was issued yesterday (that's another blog entry!)
*Got all the way to the courthouse door and was told I could not bring my cell phone in....walked all the way back to car to THROW phone in the front seat.
*Went back to courthouse
*Gave proof of immunizations for our freakin dog to lady so husband does not get arrested
*Explained to still crying child why we WERE NOT asking the guy at the desk for a sucker (the answer... I was pissed off he made me walk back to the car with my phone and crying child)
*Went to vet to get money back for overcharge on immunizations

*Went to post office
*Return carpet samples

*Got in a "fight" with a loan officer over the phone about car loan

*Was assured of crack smoking being done by loan officer by wise father-in-law
*Ordered school pictures online
*Picked laminae and tiles for a non paying design job

*Took shower
*Helped Olivia memorize her Awana verse while I was in the shower.
*Signed awana book with eyeliner
*Started dinner
*Tried to update husband on all activities for the night while stirring food and holding up to small towel around huge belly
*Worried about cars driving by that could see me in the front window, stressed and barley covered.
*Decided if they did see it they would never look in my windows again when they drove by
*Finished getting ready
*Swallowed Dinner
*Took TUMS
*Went to Arbonne party
*Realized I forgot to put Mascara on when getting ready
*About died when I remembered taking to woman about how great the mascara is.

Nikki, I laughed so hard at this list that I was crying!! I think you could enter this to some magazines and get some money for it - then you could use the money to hire a personal assistant!
Love you~

This sounds very similar to my days lately. Peeing and all. =) Miss you at Bible Study, although your days seem full enough without one other place to go. We should try and get the girls together soon to play!

HILARIOUS! I should make a list like this, so everyone knows why I cry in the shower after a long day of "getting nothing done".

Just catching up on blogs I enjoy reading, and yours is one of them. This was a priceless entry. I loved the part about signing the AWANA book with eyeliner, since I just signed my daughters "cubbies" book the other day...I had a pen, but an eyeliner would definitely work. :)

HOW in the WORLD, did you remember all of this? Did you have a notepad, jotting down each incident....when I was raising kids, each minute was a blur into the next. I didn't think that i ever had time to pee or shower....so consider yourself fortunate.....that you were able to pee and shower AND that you remembered!!! This was WAY FUNNY!

I agree about the courthouse thing. I had to carry a kid IN THE SNOW and go back to my car and throw the phone in the car. I was VERY PO'ed!
