SHEs Organized

Today is cyberloafing day. People are still tired from changing clocks so are surfing.

It must be some kind of loafing day for me. * sheesh * I just get so disgusted with myself. Actually right now, I'm sorta disgusted with the whole world.
This was pretty much my day:
We slept till almost 11:00 a.m. That would really sound terrible, except we did not turn out the lights until around 2:00 a.m.
(That part does sound terrible, doesn't it? DH found out that they deliver the paper at 1:00-1:30 so now he READS it at this ungodly hour.)
Then... I spent about 30 minutes on the computer, ate my breakfast, and s2s.
I washed a load of clothes.
Meanwhile, I did NOT vacuum, b/c dh was listening to a ballgame on the computer and I thought the vacuum would annoy him.
I played several games of Sudoku. (sp?)
I did NOT go out and walk, b/c I was clean, from my s2s.
DH s2s.
I called allergy doctor for refill.
We went to the hospital to visit dfil.
I talked to dmom on the phone. She needs me to help her with some filing.
I talked to ds on the phone.
We went to Wmart.
I took dmil's groceries to her.
I came home.
I took another package to dmil, which dh had forgotten to put in the first set.
We ate supper.
I talked to dmom on the phone. She didn't need me tonight, can't find file folders.
You can see I came by all this somewhat honestly.
I spot-cleaned some spots on the kitchen floor.
She suggested that ddad might need to go to hospital too. If he does, this will be an hour away from dfil's hospital.
I wished I lived in Florida w/dbro.
I played more Sudoku.
I dozed on the couch.
Dh went back to hospital.
I washed another load of clothes.
I played more Sudoku.
I thought about exercising.
I watched Hoarders.
I did not exercise b/c I am the laziest person in the world.
I thought about vacuuming the floor.
I thought about mopping the kitchen.
I thought about organizing my picture albums.
I thought about putting grades in the computer.
I thought about s/s the bathroom.
I did not do ANYTHING b/c I am the laziest person in the world.

I don't know if there is any hope for me at all. I HOPE when I retire I can finally use the cards as an incentive to create order and productivity in my life, as Harriet mentioned earlier, but today has me feeling pretty hopeless. With dh's crazy "schedule," I don't see how I can ever overcome HIS "routine" and create any sort of regular system for myself.
I have PMS. And I have eaten two Krispy Kreme donuts tonight. I probably am not at my most rational moment... but good gracious, this day has been a pretty big failure.

Okay... I'm going to snap out of this and do FIVE things I can be proud of. I'll be back soon.

Yeah, I can't believe how tired I am, and it was only one hour lost. I guess the busyness of the past several days hasn't helped either.

Oh, Lucylee! You are not the laziest person in the world! You do, however, have an awful lot of stress in your life with two sick families, a grandbaby on the way and a full time job. I think that much worry in one's life just eats up any energy one might have. Oh, and PMS definitely doesn't help. (Big hugs).

1. I sent thank-you email to dfriend who dropped off devotional book for me this morning.
Church has been out of these booklets -- Upper Room -- for past two weeks & I've been grumbling about it. I probably haven't exhibited a very Christ-like attitude about it. Dfriend found extras in the office. He probably thinks I NEED to be doing my daily Bible reading, that's for certain!)
2. I s/s both bathrooms.
3. I put away clothes that had been hanging to dry.
4. I exercised 15 minutes.
5. I set the clock on the vcr/dvd player, which had gained 7 minutes, and set the dvd to tape Dance Moms tomorrow night.
(That doesn't sound like a major ta-da, either, but setting the vcr is a BIG hurdle for me. I hate my vcr.)
6. I drank a bottle of water.

Thank you, (((Harmony)))!!!
I really needed some encouragement tonight, even if I do know I could be doing better. I try to hold on to the thought that today was just ONE DAY off... and I treasure those days sooo much right now. But when I retire, EVERY DAY will be a day off -- except for the days I get to babysit dgrandbaby -- so maybe then I will have a different perspective.

And I DO enjoy dh, and I'm sooo glad he is NOT a workaholic like my ddad... but oh my goodness, today I was just about ready to strangle him. While he was listening to the Braves, he was also playing a game on the computer that had some sort of trumpet-like sound every time he made the correct move. Ooohhh... I thought if I heard that horn blow one more time, I'd be ready to throw the computer through the wall.
See -- a smart girl, at that point, would have gone out and taken a walk in this gloriously mild weather we're having.
I am not such a smart girl. * sigh *

I played outside most of the day. Worked with Park Committee from 8 to 9:30 and then came home and hooked up the hose. I used the water pick to get the root ball of the agave I pulled yesterday out of the ground.

Then I started working on a tree by the driveway. The tap root must go down to China. I pulled on it with the Rhino and then our friends used their truck. This was after I used the water pick on it.

It is now tipped over but I have to use the ax on the tap root to get it all the way out.

In between, I rested my back on the heating pad and read a book.

The book is called "Angel on Board" by E. J. Thornton. It was a freebie on Kindle this weekend. I cried thru most of it as it is about guardian angels from their point of view. Really, really good.

DH felt good enough to cook supper - chicken drumsticks on the grill with green beans and tater tots. It was yummy.

I should go do the dishes - but they will be there in the morning.

I just checked school email -- in preparation for tomorrow -- and there was absolutely a message from God in my email.
A lady I have never met has started a prayer circle for our school. I have taught her children but she & I have never met face to face. She has sent me encouraging messages before, but tonight she shared a post from her blog and -- guess what her topic was!? How the to-do list will ALWAYS be there, but maybe the most important things we can do are the little things that involve spending time with our families. Wow.

So... just for my peace of mind here at bedtime, I am going to revise my daily routine post a little.

slept late to recuperate from late night w/dh & adjust to daylight savings time
refilled the vaporizer
laid out clothes for tomorrow
bought groceries w/dh & helped put away
called allergy doctor
washed two loads of clothes
talked to dmom (twice)
talked to ds
visited w/dinlaws
delivered supper & groceries to dmil
sent thank-you email to dfriend who dropped off devotional book for me this morning
spot cleaned kitchen floor
s/s both bathrooms
put away clothes that had been hanging to dry
exercised 15 minutes
set the clock on the vcr/dvd player, and set the dvd to tape Dance Moms tomorrow night
(b/c we'll be gone to church singing w/ds tomorrow night)
drank a bottle of water
searched for am*zon package which has not yet arrived,
sent e-mail to sender, printed out info to check w/local post office tomorrow
(Apparently, package is in limbo at my local post office? Am*zon says it attempted delivery on March 1. How strange. How can they fail to deliver to a post office box??? This is dgrandson's baby bedding & mobile, so I'm pretty concerned. But they have plenty of time to find it... 3 1/2 months, anyway. )
prepared lunch items for tomorrow
addressed three birthday cards for later in the month
(I've been late sending every card I've sent in 2012; this is an attempt to do better!)

I don't feel so lazy at all now. I am so glad you ladies are here, and I am so thankful for my messenger from Heaven who sent that email today.
