For example:, today I wanted to put away the pj's my mom got Owen, sounds simple right....get the carters bag out of the living room!
- I go to hang his clothes up in his closet, but find that it is overflowing with clothes that are too small or out of season
- so I needed a box to save his clothes in
- so I had to go into the basement (here is where I see all the other projects that are haunting me)
- I wanted a large plastic container like I have put his other clothes in, but didn't have an empty one, but there was a "Jeanna: winter scarves & purses" bin that has been in the way.
- So up to the living room where I sorted thru that container that hasn't been opened in 2 years.
- Then I had to get a bag for the items to donate
- Then I had to put the items I wanted to keep in my bedroom (they still need to be put away...)
- Finally I have an empty container, so back to Owen's room I go!
- The container is full before I can blink, but I decide that is enough for one day.
- But while I am at it I went ahead and did some other organizing in his closet.
- Now there is a few random things on the floor, but for the most part it is cleared out.
- I still need to label the rubber bin and take down to the basement.
BUT to make myself feel better I should say the other things I tackled today:
- Organizing Owen's closet
- Cleaning out 1 rubber bin from basement that hadn't been opened in years
- de-junked the drawer in the hall bath that wouldn't open that was driving me NUTS!
- did 2 loads of laundry and all of Owen's is put away, just a little of ours is on the bed folded ready to be put away
- Put dinner into the crockpot and stirred occasionally throughout the day
- did about 2 hours of items for HES/family business
- cleaned out email inbox
- read a little from my book (got to have some reward time in my day!)
- blogged 2 entrys about Owen!!!
- boxed up pictures that are going to be mailed off to be scanned! (major on going project and I am sick of seeing the boxes sitting around my sunroom!)


I'm with you on this post. Part of being a Mom is just having no time for things anymore, I know that, but it's hard to take that in stride. I'm actually okay with it because I like being a home-body. But yeah, I need to come up with a task list for my weeks. Nothing gets done unless I have a check list. Plus I only have from 4pm-on at home so my time for tasking is precious. Most days I just say "Whatever!" and hang out with Corinne:)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I am amazed you can list it all. I don't have time to do what I want/need, but I can't even remember what those things are a few minutes after I move on to my next thought!
ReplyDeleteJeanna, seriously, you have WAY more done than I ever do in a day. ;-) I feel like I can never get it all done. It stinks. Sometimes I just say "forget it" and have fun with Charlotte. ;-)
