A typical day for me is up between 4:00 & 5:00 logged in & working shortly there after. Why you ask? I'm a morning person & the more I get done before my day actually starts the better.
Jeri leaves the house around 6:10 & the munchkins are up anytime between 6:00 & 7:00. 7:00 if I am lucky. After getting everyone ready & breakfast (either at home or at daycare depending on the conference all schedule that morning) I usually arrive home around 8:00 or 8:30 to officially "start my day".
I have the best of both worlds...move over Hanna Montana cuz you got nothing on me. I have the wonderful opportunity to be able to work out of my house which allows me to bring one of my all time favorite things to do in the whole world a reality.
MULTI-TASKING!!!!
I love being able to crank out work for a job I love then turn around and get a load of wash done & empty the dishwasher between calls or tasks. It keeps our house going & allows me to actually "play" on the weekends.
Another blog will be about how Jeri might be the luckiest man alive to come home to pretty much everything done but he does his share & is always willing to jump in when asked. Not to mention he did it all for 8 years while not working out of the house when I had my old job.
Anywhoo...the reason for today's little note...I hit a cross roads & realized I now might need professional help.
Every morning when I'm getting the kids ready I make beds. Beds are always made in our house & everything is always put away. I attribute this ridiculous personal tick to me being in the house all day & never doing well with lots of clutter.
Well this morning I was busy & the beds did not get made. No biggie in the grand scheme of things. I got the kiddos to school/daycare, made my morning calls & had a cup of Joe w/ Jo.
So when I got home I still did not make the beds. I then decided that today I would not make beds...a free day so to speak. Lets be crazy & not make beds!! Yes, I am aware I am the lamest person alive but I love me anyway.
Well it started to grow on me over the past few hours & although I have been busy in my day in the back of my mind those damn beds are going unmade!
Ugggghhhh. Let it go!!! I think to myself followed by an immediate SUPERFREAK!!!
Then it started to feel like I was slacking. Like I couldn't manage my life & the whole balance of my orderly world might come to a grinding halt if I don't make 3 f-ing beds. If I slack here what is next...wash, meals, picking up the kiddos, exercise, work deliverables, it would be pure madness.
To avoid any such tragedy, I made all of the beds.

Words of Wisdom...by Isaac (7) - Henry (2.5)
- Isaac's new word is specifically however he can't say it correctly. He only says pacifically. Cracks me up!
- Henry is obsessed with Toy Story & he has only seen the 1st movie! He walks around the house with his Woody & "Butt Lightyear" dolls. :)
- Henry's favorite new question at 23 months old "what are youuuuu doooooinnnn?" Love that gubby
- When telling Isaac that Stephen Hawking has been called one of the smartest
people on the planet he replied with "evensmarter than dad" - Henry calls Isaac "Ikie" Nothing makes me happier than
hearing that while they play. - So I have a
zit under my nose & this morning Henry (21 mts) asked me if I had a booger. Nice. - Henry's new favorite animal is a frog. At 19 months old he pronounces frog like "fauck"...it's awesome
- Even though you don't like someone you still need to give them a valentine....Isaac prepping for his
school party - She likes being called a zombie that's why I like her...Isaac telling me about his friend Jenna
- Using a blue crayon as a toothpick does not carry the same positive end result as its' wooden counterpart.
