Some Days, It All Just Works

Wow, it’s not even 11:15 AM and I feel like I’ve accomplished so much. Ahem. So far today I have:

• Gotten my high schooler up and out the door (a yeoman’s task in and of itself)
• Attended my middle schooler’s parent-teacher conference (and got a great report, I might add)
• Returned home, fed said middle schooler a balanced breakfast (so it came from Dunkin’ Donuts–I’m bragging about efficiency here, not perfection)
• Driven my middle schooler to school, complete with homemade bagged lunch (delayed opening today due to conferences)
• Done some grocery shopping (would you believe I can carry $135 worth of groceries all at once?)
• Picked up a friend’s son after he missed the bus and drove him to school (this kid was trying to milk the delayed opening for all it’s worth)
• Talked to dh on the phone (twice)
• Completed two loads of laundry, with the third almost ready for the dryer (folding and putting away doesn’t count–it’s clean and ready to wear, so it’s done)
• Updated my blog (okay, so that’s not DONE by 11:15, but pretty close)

Left To Do:

• Assemble tonight’s dinner (sausage and potatoes anyone?)
• Pray (if it doesn’t get written down, it doesn’t get done)
• Complete an assignment for a client (gotta pay those bills)

So, moms, what’s the deal? How come there are some days when I can barely get my teeth brushed by noon and others when everything comes together with so much efficiency that I think I might actually still have some multi-tasking skills left after all? I think it has something to do with spring being right around the corner. The light outside is different, if you know what I mean, and I think it packs a whole different kind of energy. Whatever it is, mine is not to question; mine is to shut up and do.

Until next time,

Joan
