monday, monday

somewhere between the hours of 9 and 10 am this morning...i lost my moxie
...my verve was gone...
i awoke early this morning with to do lists longer than both of my arms linked together...
i have checked exactly two items from my list:
dropped the children off to school and
ran through starbucks for my white mocha...check and check
everything else has been temporarily put on hold until further notice
i lost all determination to tackle the
laundry
dishes
and
childrens rooms
i have spent the lot of my day:
chatting on the phone
surfing the interweb
forgetting about the diet i started today and remembering it half way through the slice of white cake that i was eating...i didnt even slice the cake actually...just forked it off the tray...
playing with my iphone
walking past the laundry only looking at it long enough to make a face and swear at it
i have googled backyard chickens and sunless tanners
spoken to my sister 3 times
about nothing
and twirled my hair into a mess
so....
it is now time to take the rest of my monday back
i will pick my children up from school
fail at talking myself out of another run through starbucks
and tackle the 3 point list that i forced myself to scribble down moments ago:
1. finish all the {damn} laundry
2. prepare the mr.'s shirt for work tomorrow while questioning how i got signed up to iron them in the first place...i loathe ironing
3. organize my desk caddy so that bills get sent out on time this month!
go get 'em becks...you can do it.
after starbucks lights you up first...

  1. I have sooo many days like this. Too many, in fact. They drive me crazy, as I am a cross em' off the list kind of gal.
    But I have also learned that these days make no difference...there is always tomorrow to tackle the to do list.

    Enjoy the coffee...I will take a grande vanilla skinny latte, please...

  4. How can you be old enough to have three children? You look adorable! I am sixty snd and made my husband vow that I would never have to iron a shirt (we say it was part of our wedding vows ;-) it wasn't but I hate ironing so much.

    My daughter and I just recently started a blog and I am loving being part of blogland.I am anxious to look at the rest of your blog. They are better reading than novels...you can see how I spend my days!!!

  5. Maybe the moxie will reappear when you wake up tomorrow? It was a good day to relax and enjoy yourself, I think - an almost-perfect temperature!

  6. Rebecca,
    It is true! You look so young and chic! I had no idea you lived in Mesa, too. Now I have seen it on you profile. I am excited to have another contact there!
    Hugs,
    Suz
