Yesterday, Thursday was even worse than Wednesday. I got Bruce on the bus at 7:30am then had to write out all of my information on my Avon pamphlets and books because it is taking forever for my stamper to get here. Knowing my luck it will come in the mail today. So I got all of that done and it was about 8:30 ish.....Then I had to get the kids in the bath and get them ready to go get Jackalynn signed up for Kindergarten. That was to be at 10 am. Jenna was ok with getting her up but with Jackalynn having really curly hair that gets tangled easily brushing it is no small task. So I had to spend about 15-20 minutes fighting with her to get her to sit still and let me do it. So I am finally done with her and Jenna by 9:30. I and Blake on the other hand were still in p.j.s So then I had to hurry to get him and myself freshened up. We do manage to make it on time. Mostly because the school is 2 miles away.
While there everything is going good until I realize that I forgot to get a copy of her shot record. So now I have to go to the doctors office to get one. We make it through kindergarten round up and I notice at the last "station" that it is nearly 11 and I had an interview set up for 11. So I hurry to make the phone call to let her know that I was running late and she didn't even answer. FINALLY we get done and of course they say she is absolutely ready for kindergarten, which I had no doubt would be the case.
So we get home and I think, ok down time to get some work done. Jenna acted like she was ready to go to sleep. Well I go to my room and come back out to find Jenna licking icing off of the last little bit of cake. So needless to say she didn't take a nap till much later. I also needed to go to the store. But by that time I would have been rushed to go to the bank, to the store, drop off my Avon pamphlets and my Ameriplan (R) pamplets, then drive 15-20 mins back to my house since I live in what seems to be the middle of nowhere. So I think, just wait till Bruce gets off the bus. This way I can clean up the cake mess and finally start to get some cleaning done. Well that actually worked out for me.
What didn't work was taking all 4 kids to the store on a Thursday. They drove me nuts. So we got home the same time as Ben, luckily, so I wasn't stuck bringing in all of the groceries. But I was stuck putting everything away so Ben cooked on the grill. But what did I forget at the store, hamburger buns. So had to go to the only think in this little itty bitty town, the gas station. The buns luckily were on sale for $1.50. Finally I was able to go home and ....do more work. Had to get Bruce's family project done. I had procrastinated on it like I always seem to do. It is due today, Friday. Well we eat then I start working on it and got all caught up in looking at pictures of Bruce as he was growing up which is what the project was all about. So the kids started playing Sonic the Hedgehog on PS3. Well we are close to beating it so Ben started playing it while I finally got the project actually started at 9pm which is the normal bed time.
Ben beats all but the boss. So he asks if I want to try.....procrastination kicks in. I play and beat it. Then move on to the big boss. I lose all 20 some lives we had built up and now I notice it is 11pm. So I rush to finish the last few details on the project and finally get to bed around 12. Mess still on the floor from project and kitchen still dirty from dinner.
After being woke up about every hour or so by a different child throughout the night I wake up this morning at 6:45 and walk into the living room and all I want to do is crawl back into bed and dream of little fairies that come and clean for me. But this isn't possible so what do I do. I sit at the computer....lol Procrastination is KILLING ME!! So now here I am writing about everything ignoring the mess that Jackalynn and Jenna are continuing to make in the living room. Believe it or not this is only the main events in my day.
And then I get an email with the perfect quote. ENJOY!
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
