I had today off. Used some overtime and thought I would book myself a four day weekend. The boys had school. SG, however, did not have the same forethought as I and therefore, well, he had to go to work….tee hee hee.
After making the boys a nice hot breakfast, being informed that I was causing a disruption in their usual morning routine and would I please just try to stay out of their way, (nice, I know, don’t know where they get that from!) and waiting for all the males to just leave the house ALREADY!!!, I found myself alone.
Alone, with no plans for much of anything. Nothing at all if you want the truth.
Absolutely nothing.
Just play it by ear and see what happens was my attitude.
That lasted all of about 10 minutes and then it started…
Seeing as the bathroom didn’t get done yesterday (boys were busy bruising each, err, uhm, “bonding” yesterday) I may as well do it. And while I was doing that I was also cleaning the oven. Huge pumpkin mess in there that needed tending to. And, the oven was actually cleaning itself; all I really need to do is try not to burn my self by cleaning up the ashes too soon. Then there were four more loads of laundry, which I really don’t understand because over the weekend I had already done seven … And seeing as the oven was cleaning itself, I thought that I’d wash the kitchen floor. While washing the kitchen floor, I got the brilliant idea to reformat one of the computers. The both need it, may as well get one started. Cleaned up the DVD’s and CD’s. You know, put them back in their cases, filed them into alphabetical order – no, I’m kidding – I just stuffed them back on to the shelf and made sure all the fronts lined up. Found a couple of old mixed CD’s that I made a while back. Nothing like the rush of stumbling across CD’s that have only “MIX CD” written on them! I was very excited. Popped them in and listened to some Streetheart, QCK, April Wine, and one of my very faves, Nick Gilder, while cleaning the back landing area and swapping out coats and jackets, gathering hats and mitts to put through yet another load of wash. Then I pureed the pumpkin meat, bagged and froze the majority of it. The rest got made into muffins and bread and soup. Decided to wipe down all the windows from the inside one last time before it gets too cold and after that, washed the living room floor. I could go on, but I’m not going to.
And I’m not bragging. Really, I’m not. Well, maybe I am just a little snicker snicker … More importantly however, is that I’m trying to tell that if you should ever decide to take a day off, and you'll have no one around, and decide to start it off with absolutely nothing planned … DON’T!!!
You need a plan!! Seriously… Even if it’s just a plan to make sure you have a bite eat… or go the washroom occasionally… or a plan to make a plan!!!
YOU NEED A PLAN!!
Now, I’m going to watch Ferris and get motivated to do it right and attempt to switch tomorrow for today! Or today for tomorrow…however you say it.
The point is, I’ve got a PLAN for tomorrow!!
Lest We Forget
