i am losing my voice. maybe it will be completely gone by friday and i wont be able to work the dt at work. probably not so lucky.

ahhh...peace and quiet. julian is asleep and no one else is home. i am relishing this moment until i have to start cleaning the house. i already cleaned 2 boxes of toys out of julian closet and picked up the room and i am washing the sheets. now, the rest of the house (make sure you read that ina paul harvey-esque voice, ok?)

i did all my car stuff today. at least that is taken care of. now, tomorow i can slack off and do nothing. which i am not so good at lately. i feel like i need to keep moving. like there is something else to do either in the house or with the kids or errands to run. i used to have this list of things to do if i was wondering what to do. it started like this:
HEY LAZY!! IF YOU ARE BORED YOU CAN...
and then it listed all sorts of things that needed to be done like change the sheets, make cookies, scrub the tub, go to the gym, clean the fridge, walk medea etc.
it listed things that either a) didnt need to be done on a daily basis or b) i needed extra motivation to do them. oddly enough, it worked. i would consult the list if i was bored and then i wasn't so bored anymore. now i never am really bored just more felling like i am forgetting something big that i need to do. and i never figure out what it is.... oh well.

off to do the wash that is calling me.

  1. i know i'm an irresponsible, selfish, singleton... but maybe just maybe. you might consider adding one thing to the 'bored' list that takes care of jankin and only jankin. the better you take care of jankin, the better that the jankin takes care of everyone else. and everything else. i always forget to take care of myself...
