Friggin Fraggin Friday says it all. What a weird day. I may or may not have forgotten today was the last day to move out of my apartment and back in to the house (results of a situation best left to another post) So my day did not go as planned to say the least but as you can see by the notes I did accomplish most of what I set out to do....sort of......
It's Friday. Friday is my weekly day of domestication. I always make a list of everything I need to accomplish to prevent the house from going into Thunder Dome status and still enjoy my weekend. Since I am now committed to blogging daily I will be posting Friday's Blogs in two parts. First I will be listing all of the things I would like to accomplish and then re-posting the blog with notes as to what I actually accomplished (and my excuses). I am off to a late start today which turns out to be awesome because I can both add coffee to my list and scratch it off. AND coffee makes me delusionally ambitious so my list will be a thing of grandeur indeed. Hey screw you spell check. Delusionally is a word. Isn't it? Moving on.
1. Gym - Cardio and Yoga - about a thousand trips up three flights of stairs to get the rest of my stuff should satisfy the cardio portion of today's program. I will sleep in the corpse position also known as the foo-kin ti'ed salutation.
2. Wake and Bathe Children - Technically I did both of these things.
3. Breakfast - Donuts at Maverick
4. Herd them on to the Bus - 1 out of 3 ain't bad
5. Take squirt butt to the babysitters - This one is completely true
6. Bank - Nope and at this point in the day a few random things happened. Well it was more like 3 specific things. Internet, Beer and IMAGINATION TIME. In my defense the beer was the coldest thing in the fridge and the internet was the coldest thing in the fridge and my imagination is always the coldest thing in the fridge.
7. Scrub Down the Kitchen - Mostly true. Scrub is a funny word that lends itself to so many different interpretations it's really kind of ridiculous let's not get bogged down in semantics.
8. Sort through the bizarre amount of papers through out the house that constitute in class and take home homework. Try to figure out if anything needs to be saved or if I can recycle everything. - I might have demanded Hannah do this.
9. Wash, Fold and Put away a Cabillion loads of laundry - Not quite a cabillion but close. Four.
10. Grocery Store - Nope
11. Scrub bathrooms - Oh! I did do this! And can I mention how much I love the Clorox Toilet Wand. I know I really should rave about fashion and movies and music and blahhhhh BUT this thing is bad ass.
12. Organize Bedroom - Organize shmorganize. I did put all my shoes away in order of color and heel heigth.
13. Plan meals for the week - This may have been when I was drinking and thought it would be fun to use facebook to interact with all my friends whose name starts with the letter A. If your name starts with A and we are facebook friends you know this is true.
14. Grocery Shopping - I really should admit this is a typo but I firmly believe that when you make an obvious mistake you can't roll over. This is the time you insist it was an intentional and strategic maneuver. I put this on my to-do list twice because I'm psychic and technically I get credit for one of these. I did shop today at the Grocery Store but that's because my grocery store has a toy department and at the last minute my daughter reminded me she had a birthday party to go to. So ....
15. Take hand me down clothes and coats to be donated - I bagged them all (most of them) and I set them in the living room by the door ready to be loaded to take in the morning. (I might have played North Pole for an hour and a half but you'll never know for sure)
16. Eat something while trying for the billionth time to understand how twitter works and why so many hookers are following me. - I actually spent 5 hours doing this as explained on item 6. But I learned a lot of stuff! Some porn sites are free. There's two hours I'll never get back.
17. Recite the cremation of Sam McGee while cleaning the Living Room (because there is a big mirror there and I like to really get in to it.) - I did this but in two parts. I eventually cleaned the living room but first .... I found out that my voice is SO much scarier if I lay upside down on the couch.
18. Kids have returned by now put them to work cleaning their bedrooms. - This is true. It was also the point in the day that I realized that I had wasted the whole day and I had to sober up, go pack and do everything on this list.
19. Sit down and answer all the emails from the day - This I did do. All 2 of them.
20. Sit down with the kids and decide how we will make our yard the most Halloweenish Halloween yard in the history of the universe. - This did not happen, however I did take the kids to get Ice Cream, Take Aud to a birthday party, eat at Arby's, Take squash to his cousins, record the funniest voicemail greeting EVER, pull out one of Hannah's teeth, have a tickle/dead leg fight and make Aud noodles because the birthday food was "not her style of eating"
21. Bike Ride - Damn It
22. Dinner - Yes!
23. Movie Time - Damn It
24. Kids to Bed - Yes!
25. Add a few notes to the ole' Blog - Workin' on it
26. glass of wine in celebration of my days accomplishments - ........................ probably shouldn't have made this my first order of business but hindsight is 20/20.
27. Sweet sweet slumber - This is still the plan
27 things to do. Not impossible. This will be the day that nothing will deter me. Wish me luck.
So my Friday was a little backwards is all. If I learned one thing today it is that all procrastinating means is that I get a lot of shit done later.
