Ever have so much to do that you don't even know where to begin? That's me today. I'm just not able to focus or get anything done. I'm just spinning my wheels, completely unproductive. I would like to get some things but I just...can't.
So here's some random, unrelated, unimportant commentary to keep me distracted:
There's a guy in our building, about my age that I only run into when I'm wearing the same two dresses. I swear, I hardly ever see this guy but when I do I'm in the same dang thing! Not that he even notices, but how does that keep happening? I have a lot of clothes. A lot.
***And that's as far as I got.***
See, I told you I was having a tough time concentrating! Just so you know, that was from Monday - the rest of the week was much more productive.
Looking forward to the weekend. We've got adult plans tonight and then of course HALLOWEEN!
I LOVE Halloween! It's just such a fun holiday. I mean, dressing up and candy? Who doesn't love that? I work extra hard to make sure my girls develop that same love. Again - dressing up and candy - it isn't too hard. And of course they take after their momma - anything with candy and they're in.
I took them to a little Halloween party last night - kept them up way too late but it was worth it. Plus, we're sticking them with my Mom tonight so I don't have to deal with their lack-of-sleep grumpiness.
And then of course I have got to catch up on laundry! M came to me this morning and said "Mom. Our dirty clothes basket is up to here." as she put her hand almost up to her eye. And the sad thing is, she's probably not even exaggerating.
I do have a semi-reasonable defense though - besides my natural laziness and inherent disdain for housework. I'm only allowed to do one load of laundry a day! Seriously. It's in our lease. Something about the water lines and the threat of being responsible if they burst...or something. All I really paid attention to was the "one load per day" part. Because I like to stockpile my laundry. Okay, it's not that I really "like" to...it's actually just a result of me trying to avoid it.
So what I usually do, what I've always done, is just do a whole bunch of laundry in one purge - load after load after load after load after Dear Lord, please make it stop!
And like pulling a band-aid, it hurts for a second and then it's over. Finally.
So this whole one load a day crap. It's not going over so well.
Honestly, I just forget to do it more than anything. I'm just still not used to having to get a load in every night to get it all done. Laundry is totally not on my radar. The hubby has been working almost every night after work until 8 or 9 so I've been single parenting it for a while. By the time we get home, get dinner, get through homework, get the dishes done (and have I bitched about not having a dishwasher yet? If not, remind me and I'll get to it in a minute), and get the house picked up - the only thing I want to do is nothing.
See what a whinebag I am? This is like any normal night for anyone and I'm over here like "But I'm too tired to do laundry! Waaaahhhhaaa"
But seriously, this fourth grade homework stuff is no joke. I'm embarrassed to admit that there have been multiple occasions that I could not help with math homework. Multiple. Isn't that horrible? I mean, I have multiple college degrees and I can't work fourth grade math? Wow. I don't even know how that's possible. Well, yeah I do...I suck at math.
So yeah, my weekend will be filled with costumes, candy and lots of tears as I wade through the mountain of laundry....
