monstermania part howevermany

Sleep: 3hrs
MIL arrives: 4 hours
Depart for Canada: 23 hours
State of House: Fukushima level
State of Car: Chernobyl level interior; empty tank
Other things that must be done today:
huge bank deposit for one swim team
create paper plate awards for school swim team
find someone to feed cats
pay (different) swim clubs bills and file tax return
pack for trip
rescue car roofbox from garage
do research/paperwork prep for trip (print hotel details, maps, itinerary etc)
try do decide if the thing I remembered I was needing to to as I was falling asleep was the cat thing or something else. I couldn't find a pen to write a note (it was after 3am) so I left my phone in a certain way as an aide memoire and thought to myself "phone, X, phone, X, phone, X" as I drifted off. Woke this morning and immediately remembered -without even looking at the phone there was something I had to do..... ugh.

there's more, I'm sure. I have a notebook in front of me to write a list of all that needs done, and then I thought I might as well put it here so all y'all can laugh at the latest fine mess I have created for myself.

I'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way. Good luck tackling that list!

Thanks. I would sorta rather it wasn't quite this borderline. Part of me wants to be a domestic goddess rather than a slob, but I can't think which bit of the rest of it I'd give up to get that -I want it all!

So far I've emailed my friend about the cats and the teachers to excuse the kids from school and set up the flight-tracker for MIL's plane.


And found out about Quorn and checked facebook.....

Paid the swim club bills and done the tax return thingy. Cats are sorted (need to drop off keys). MIL is over Newfoundland and Labrador. Delta5 if anyone wants to join me in tracking -if there's some job you are procrastinating about

cropped and saved some photos from Hector's recent tourney....

Man, you are going to have to come up with a serious hobby when your kids move out or you may go crazy with nothing to do.

um...... Filled a scrip order and got some flyers ready to take to school this afternoon.

created reimbursement forms for two swim clubs. Did this need doing? yes. Did it need doing today, right now.....? ....

Thought of a dozen more things I need to do today.....

gawd I'm sleep deprived/hungover

Are you posting from a smart-phone or are you on a break from vacuuming?
