Work day

July 8, 2008 by Lauren 19 Comments

It was a productive day!  We got donuts (more about that on Brad’s site), visited with Beth and the kids, then Brad went to Lincoln and I settled in to clean the house.  I like making lists so I can cross stuff off and stay focused.  I’m a little ADD when it comes to house cleaning – pick up the laundry to take upstairs; notice that there are shoes on the steps; the shoes remind me that I was going to go outside and move the trash can, then being outside reminds me that I like ice cream, then I look up an ice cream recipe on the internet and the next thing I know I’ve been surfing the web for two hours.  Lists are golden

I worked pretty hard for about two hours, then I watched episodes of Doctor Who on YouTube.  Yep.  That’s my Tuesday.  It was awesome.

Cross ‘em off!

      They are the worst rooms in the house, but I got distracted by the Doctor. Maybe today… (I have a new list!)

    If you are making a list for tomorrow you should add “pick Lloyd up from the airport.” Dont let Brad come.

    You should turn your day into a book… If You Give Lauren a List, then she’ll read it very carefully. While reading the list, she’ll see that she should take the laundry upstairs. When going up the stairs, she notices….

    Lauren–you’re a power house!!! You go girl!

    (but in case you need reminding, I looked up “vacation” on line & here’s what it said:

    1. a period of suspension from work, guilt free
    2. freedom or release from activity, guilt free

      All I need for vacation is:
      1. Not having 20 preschoolers.
      2. Time in my house.

      Hooray! I love vacation! 🙂 I am learning that I would make an excellent rich person – staying home is my style!

      You’ll have to refer to our woefully un-updated “Who’s Who” under Pages and Stuff on the right. Maybe I’ll spend some vacation time updating that…. 🙂
