Sidetracked Sally

That is what you can call me! I am the QUEEN of getting sidetracked. My favorite book should be Sidetracked Home Executives, since it so aptly describes me.

This is how the last hour and a half of our morning went:
While doing the dishes I realized that I needed to get some laundry done, since my dryer is broken I want to take about 4 or 5 loads to the laundry mat to dry them so I need to get them washed, went into the laundry room to start the laundry, realized that the supply bag (penicls crayons, glue ect) had fallen off the door where it was hung and is now laying on the washer, moved it and started a load of wash. But of course I NEED to do something with that organizer bag eh? I mean, it's not like I don't have to finish the dishes, sweep and mop the kitchen, run some errands, cook lunch, and do some prep for the first day of school right? NO, I MUST do something with that bag! Therefore I decide that I will get Daniel to hang it in a different location in laundry room, so of course I need to clean out the corner in there so we have room for it. Then I enlist Mallory to pull everything out. Sarah helps by removing all supplies from the organizer. When the corner is cleaned out, of course it needs to be swept and mopped. Oldest daughter replaces all the stuff in the corner in a neater way, the boy hangs the organizer with my help and the youngest replaces the supplies in the organzer.. NOW I just HAD to supervise the whole thing so I didn't get anything done while they were working on MY project. BUT I DID realize that I needed to write a check out and mail it, find a book that needs mailing for paper back swap and mail a homeschool resource that I sold on www.homeschoolclassifieds So the kitchen is a wreck (from the debris that came out of the laundry room) the things needing mailing are all in various stages of preparing. Daniel is working on designing a go cart with parts he found in the Laundry room and of course he already had the hammer out right? The girls are both designing something that they will make together because ds wouldn't agree to let the youngest girl paint his go cart blue and PINK!!! yes, that is right, blue and PINK... hmmm go figure!

Wanna come over for some tea, I think I need some?
