where did my motivation go?

i got up today hell bent on figuring out where those dreaded fruit fly/tiny flying bugs were coming from, doing all 15 loads of laundry that are currently protecting my floors from dirt, cleaning and bleaching the kitchen, reorganizing the pantry (which by the way has mysteriously turned into an empty bag/box collection unit) bagging all things useless and donating/trashing them, sorting out all of our closets, throwing away ALL of the useless nonsense we have been collecting on the main floor of the house, replacing like 12 lightbulbs (my house is dim to say the least) helping the boys organize their toys so we can start to get rid of the tiny mystery toy pieces that are without purpose, steam cleaning the carpet, going to the street fair that is on my front steps, making an appointment to get my hair cut, disposing of the beer bottles and rotten baby bird corpse on my front steps, investigate getting a kitten for june, buying fabric paint for the couch, paint said couch, making a REAL grocery list, going to the dreaded grocery store with three miserable children who loathe shopping, making a wholesome dinner, renting a movie (pending late fees and the reality that there is probably nothing worth renting), downing a bottle of wine, scouring the help wanted ads for a new job and pass out feeling like i accomplished something.


so far i have
-remained in the clothes that i wore yesterday/slept in
-drank a pot of coffee
-scoured the new domino
-been online entirely too long
-developed a weird gut-rumbling (thanks to the boat load of coffee and sugar i am sure)
OKAY FOR REAL...I AM GOING TO BE PRODUCTIVE NOW!

IS THERE A PILL FOR PROCRASTINATORS? If so could someone order it for me? I probably won't get around to it.

i find it silly that dying is spelt wrong. all that work...what a waste.

FREE FUN!

We had our first official family slumber party last weekend. It was sorta awesome. Just your basic affair complete with floor bound twin mattresses flanked by couches, mountains of blankets, kid friendly movies, popcorn and of course a fairly rowdy pillow fight...

Well, I have to apologize, as I should have started this a good long time ago. It has come to my attention that I have a severe case of short-term memory loss, which, unfortunately, turns into long-term memory loss as time goes by. So on that note I have decided to begin writing down daily bits of information for you and, I guess, for me, to have so that someday, when you are bored and hate my guts, you can sit down and read about the life you have had and probably also don’t quite remember…
Remember, it is the mundane moments of our lives that show our true character.


I love you all…MOM
