Wednesday Morning Rambles
I didn't put enough creamer in my decaf coffee this morning. Every sip reminds me of that. but I'm too lazy to go fix it.
Today I need to drive 10 children to a choir event, so I need to have my own children help me empty out and clean out the van. It's hard to clean out a van if you don't clean it regularly. Bits of granola bar are, in particular, no fun to clean.
I'm still walking walking walking but so far my dream of walking whenever I'm at my desk hasn't come to fruition. The treadmill is a little loud, and I find it difficult to feel like I can really hear what's going on in the home. Plus stepping on the treadmill *feels* like I'm going to stay put, there, whereas sitting on my rear at my regular desk at least provides the illusion that I might hop up to do other things.
It's a cloudy morning here, chilly in the house, and I am running behind. See why "I should blog!" occurred to me? Uh, yeah. I'm also behind on sorting clean laundry. I was doing really well for awhile, but got behind over the weekend. So today I'll try to catch up. It's very doable, I'm not that behind. My new plan is that I sort it out into small baskets and let the kids each fold their own. I fold the littlest ones, mine, and The Grand Lunar's. It works very well when I do it.
Well, I really do have lots of things to be doing, and can't really count blogging as work. Plus I suspect you may be noticing I don't actually have anything to say. I could tell you about my bizarre dreams, but they were just bizarre, and my memories are fragmented. So I'll spare you that, today. No promises for the future, though.
What i really need to do is spend some time redoing my blog layout and colors and all my very pathetically out of date links to friends and things. I never did fix and put back the little list of friends that wasn't functioning right. But that's one of those "if I'm going to do it I should do it right" projects that I keep putting off. Which, really, is a mode I'm stuck in far too often. Doing anything is often better than waiting to do something right.
Right?
Posted by Kim at April 23, 2008 8:38 AMSince when do we ever let having nothing to say get in the way of a blog entry? Or a response, for that matter?! :-D
Posted by: Rosanne at April 23, 2008 10:08 AMGee if you really want something to do--you could work on MY blog lay out too! LOL (Just kidding)
This is just a test comment, to see if I can get past the captcha police. It didn't let me last time, when I posted a "real" comment, only to have it zapped to blog oblivion.

Posted by: Linda at April 24, 2008 10:17 AMI totally relate to that mode of not doing something because I want to do it "just right". Usually bc I can't figure out HOW to do it right, or bc the whole thing is too overwhelming, or... yeah. That's actually why I don't post nearly as often as I want to. Instead I go and make inane comments on other peoples' blogs.
Kids folding their own laundry? Yup, that works around here. Then they stuff it all in their drawers so that everything wrinkles and looks like it was never folded in the first place. But at least the job gets done... sort of. (I guess laundry is one of those rare things that I *don't* worry abt doing just right.)
I am behind on everything, even my blogging.
