focus

So... this busy mom really needs to focus. I think I need to get more cameras, or maybe binoculars to focus on everything happening simultaneously recently.

I heard about the new movie "I Don't Know How She Does It" (just watched the preview and it's ME!) and it got me thinking, how does any working mother (stay-at-home-Mom's included.... nw THAT'S work) do it? Is it any wonder why there are SO many sayings about us mom's doing it all?
Even as I try to find time to blog realy quick, I am constantly being pulled in all different directions... knowing I don't really have spare time to blog. But I'm a "list-maker," hence I conclude that this could very well be my list for the day.

Speaking of which, today's list includes:

making vet appointment for Chief... his limp came back. *pout* 9:00 am tomorow, check.
--sending invite to Annabelle's quilt show (which reminds me to look up the date... "ALT-TAB" to google.com to search... okay. October 14th & 15th. Mountain View Church. 10am-4pm. Done

-laundry... a daily thing

-dishes. Technically this is a chore reserved for my "live-in babysitter" or the kids... but when I'm at work and cannot enforce this assignment, I run out of my iv bags (read: coffee cups)

-garden. usually my little relaxing time, however; with a quickly fading front lawn, it's more of a plea to the neighbors to not be mad at my unsightly yard and a cry for their compassion and understanding so they see that I'm trying!

okay... this is taking too long...speed-list:

vacuum, windows, garbage, recycling, bills, get DaniSue from preschool, lunch, shower, put face-on for work, commute... ahhh. finally work.

Working from 3:30 to midnight. Sad that this is the most relaxing part of my schedule. Real adults (for the most part).

Ok... the big question of the day is: How can I make my kids stay kids just a little bit longer? With so many "anniversaries" happening this month, I have been really reminscing about the last ten years and all that my little family has been through. I mean, ten years ago, I was a newly-wed who was also pregnant with my first little baby. Now look at these guys!!! Danielle will be four years old on Monday, Annabelle's almost ten, and Gabe is seven. This time next year, all three of these beautiful munchkins will be attending the same elementary school. What happened? No more diapers, sippy cups, or "binkies" (pacifiers for all you non-slanguists).

Get thicker hair, stronger nails, and healthier skin!

Is it time for an informercial? I guess it IS slightly past midnight...

I'm not much of a "seller" or "advertiser" at all. But I've been taking these vitamins "Nature's Bounty Hair Skin & Nails" for two months and finally have nails! Real nails that extend past my fingertips! (gasp!)

Not to mention, I am horrible at remembering to take my vitamins. So this is the best of both worlds since it appears to be an all-in-one supplement, with extra biotin (the stuff that strengthens your hair and nails) hence the name.

Ooooh~fancy!

Just wanted to share. You can thank me in a few months... better yet thanks to Andrea, who recommended I take something with biotin when I was admiring her nails while complaining about my own.
