6:30-6:45 Hit snooze button several times, wake up late
6:45-7:30 Find that wonderful hubby has done most of the laundry AND the dishes while I was in a coma last night! Wake up children who complain of stomach aches and cry about having to go to school. Check emails, try to drink coffee in between yelling at kids to get a move on.
7:35-7:45 Still in pjs, scramble into car and push kids out at carpool. Go back home. Planned to run this morning, but since it is raining, opt to stay in pjs and get to work. Sigh at the thought of having to workout on Saturday instead.
7:45-8:45 Look at presentation that I have to give this week and realize that I am SO not prepared! Anxiety runs amok and I decide to get ready for my 9:30 meeting (volunteer activity) instead.
9:30-11:00 PTA meeting.... get so much information and added to my to-do list for volunteerism.
11:00-noon Start going through all of the emails that have ended up in my in-box. Get caught up in it, send Kim a note that I am running late (gotta love technology)
12-12:45 Meeting with Kim at coffice very productive. Realize that I forgot to brush teeth this morning. Resolve to be better tomorrow. Go home and RUN mail to the mailman, who has decided to be kind and wait for me. Get upset at morons who can't do their jobs thoroughly and now have to make another phone call/write letter/send it in AGAIN.
1:00-2:15 Brush teeth. Eat. Blog. Determined to finish resume.
2:15-5:30 Kids come home and immediately ask what we are doing today. Pout when I tell them "nothing". After getting them settled with snacks and homework, pretty much ignore children. Research and work on my resume. Children interrupt on occasion, and I have a notedly short temper with them. Resume working on my resume. (remark that resume and resume are spelled the same, less the accent - I think it's time for a break!) Youngest watching his 30 minutes of TV (turns into an hour). Resolve to manage time better tomorrow for second time today.
5:30-6:00 Wonderful hubby is already preparing dinner. Youngest upset that we couldn't go to Toys R Us today. I set out to tackle the mount of folded laundry that covers the dining room table. Enlist children to help, when I notice it's all MY stuff. Put away laundry, have children set table, feed dog, etc. Scan and email document to friend, return phone calls from friends. File some of year's worth of bills so that I can finish taxes for accountant.
6:00-6:30 Sit down and enjoy wonderful dinner. Food is so much better when someone else prepares it, don't you think?
6:30-7:00 Dishwasher still running (again! this never used to happen!) so dishes are rinsed and left in sink for tomorrow. Wonderful hubby irons his new shirt (?!) I sit down to do more research and work on blog. Kids playing Wii and don't interrupt.
7:00-7:30 Get kids ready for bed after tearing them away from Wii.
7:30-8:00 Write to-do list, check email. Panic about meeting tomorrow - more about fitting into my old business suits, which are probably VERY out of date, than the actual interview/meeting. Panic about presentation on Thursday. Resolve to take tomorrow one step at a time. Have glass of wine to calm myself.
8:00-10:00 Exhausted and ready for bed, but somehow manage to watch film with subtitles in its entirety. Overall an okay day. I'll be better tomorrow!
