And again...

So, now Connor gets his wish. He's home sick with the flu (achey and a fever). I've been working at home an awful lot lately!

I realized recently that I haven't manged to maintain focus for a long time. Lots of little scrambled thoughts (Did I reply to that birthday invitation? Where is Aidan's homework? I'm sure I had both gloves when I left the house. Who is calling me? ) and on and on, but I never think about anything all the way through. I wonder if I ever will again? It happens at work too, all the time. I was going through some files the other day and realized that I had started the same document twice, didn't complete either and have no memory of working on them. And they are dated December and January! This past December and January! You would think that when I am writing something for the second time it would ring a bit of a bell, but no. At least the two documents were fairly similar, so I'm consistent even if I am forgetful. I hate to admit it, but I've left myself notes one day and had no idea what I meant when I read it the next day. Okay, that's my confession. Please nobody call the looney bin!

So, what brought that on was the thought that I have a load of laundry to fold, one to put in the wash, and one to dry, supper to make, dishes to put away, a house to tidy, a sick kid on the couch and another one watching tv even though he shouldn't be, and instead of focusing on any of them, I'm at the computer! Why, you ask? Because I dropped Delaney off at tap and realized that she needed new shoes. So I sat down at the computer to see if I could pick some up on Ebay. Instead, I checked my work e-mail first since it was still open and answered some stuff and sent a message to tell them Connor was sick and I might not be in tomorrow. Then I started thinking about how he finally gets to stay home from school and that twigged writing about it in the 'blog so I opened it and here I am. Haven't looked up tap shoes, done laundry, made supper, put away dishes, checked on kids or anything. Not one thing I planned to do accomplished, but some other stuff got done. I guess if it gets done it really doesn't matter, but I do remember the days when I set out to do something and got it accomplished. I was efficient and organized and now I've turned into one of those people. You know who you are!!!!!

Okay, now I am going to get something else accomplished. Although this just made me think about that e-mail that goes around about how the wife says she is going to bed and does a million things. The husband says he is going to bed an hour later and gets up and goes to bed. But I am not going to try to find it! I'm starting supper and folding laundry. Really!
