Well, Tuesday night, 11:09 PM and I'm wiped out. I'm not even half way done with the things that I have to do! One good thing is that I am almost done cleaning my house to a spit shine. And also I finally got the Portable DVD player for the car so that Kailee can be somewhat occupied on our 30 hour trip. I also finally got the front and back yard cleaned up and my husband got someone to cut our grass as we don't own lawnmower. I did get some R&R this morning while my husband and his band practiced. So that helped boost my energy and my motiviation. The bad news is bad though....yesterday the hot water went out in our house. It did'nt start working again until 1:30 AM this morning! Well, that meant I couldn't do dishes, clean the kitchen, mop the floors, or do the biggest task of all - MY LAUNDRY! It has set me back bad, and ick, I already hate the laundry, I didn't need this. SO looks like I will spend my last day here fucking around with clothes. I have also added some more things to my to do list. I must clean Kailee's closet out so I can find some summer clothes, also find her big box of summer clothes in the garage, and also find her Dora Bathing Suit, which pops up about once a month because she finds it somewhere then I don't have a clue where it is. I also have to clean out my closet in order to locate a couple of clothing objects. And then there is the laundry. Ugh. I'm bored just talking about this. New subject...or sort of...

I got the following in an email and it explained me so well that I had to post it here. It makes me feel really old that I feel this way, but in some way I am just like this, I get so side tracked with all my chores. Well, hope you enjoy this it's really funny! And have a good day everyone, GUESS WHAT!? We leave in just TWO DAYS! Okay here's the funny email...

Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention
Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide my
>car needs washing.

As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the porch table
that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can
under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage
first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the
garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my
desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so
that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting
warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke, a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need to be watered.

I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the
flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and
suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the
remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to
put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the
spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

* the car isn't washed
* the bills aren't paid
* there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
* the flowers don't have enough water,
* there is still only 1 check in my check book,
* I can't find the remote,
* I can't find my glasses,
* and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really
baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail...

Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because
I don't remember to whom it has been sent.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. LAUGHING AT YOURSELF
IS THERAPEUTIC.
