Wow. I've had the perfect Pitman kind of day!! And I realized that it may or may NOT be my fault that I never get anything done. I have a simple day planned out, and I never accomplish what I planned! Today is a perfect example of that. I had planned to send a report to our Autism Psychologist, go to our Autism Consultant meeting, pick up one last gift for Daddy, then pick up some groceries. Come home, and make some more Christmas cookies. See? Simple. Or is it?
I had to download a program so I could scan the stuff into the computer so I could send it... accidentally downloaded the wrong program (ended up being from China...), found the right program, downloaded it, realized I had run out of time and forgot to eat breakfast. Grabbed the kid, some snickerdoodles for breakfast, the other stuff we needed and ran out of the door without our Aldi's grocery bags --big no no. Missed my turn but made it to the appointment in time. During the appointment I realized, when Cassie pointed out to me that we needed to eat lunch, that I'd have to put lunch into the mix. We went to KFC, and I've realized there are no decent KFCs in CNY. The service here sucks.
Made it to Aldi's, realized I didn't have a list, and just decided to wing it. I forgot more butter. Bought some bags to bring it home. Got home and realized the driveway was a slushy mess, so I had to shovel. Came back in the house and realized I still needed to put the groceries away. Put the groceries away, sat down to scan the documents, and realized I had to finish installing the program. As I was doing that, and getting ready to scan, Cassie hollers that we have a leak in the ceiling of our bathroom. I calmed her down, checked it out, and she was right. As she was "indisposed on the toilet", I chose to go back later to see if it was wet, or an old leak we just missed. Went to scan in the documents, realized I needed to in-dispose myself also, and while I was in there I remembered I needed to go touch the upstairs bathroom ceiling. Then Marley came in to tell me he REALLY needed to go frolic in the snow some more. So I took them out, sat down to scan the documents, and remembered about the upstairs ceiling. So I went up, and yes, it is wet. Cassie said she knew it was wet because it dripped on her... TWICE!! <sigh> Step-Brother said I needed to get an electrician in ASAP to move the light, so Cassie and I figured out which breaker it was and just turned it off for now.
I get back to the computer, only to find out that my report hasn't been attached yet. So, I cancel it and start over. Then I find out that Cassie is about to starve to death again, so I have to start dinner. Thats when I think about this blog. So, I start dinner, start the blog, and finish dinner, eat dinner, and now finish the blog. It is now 6pm. My report still has not attached to the email so I can send it. I still have no more freakin' cookies made, and I'm wondering where my day went and why its not bedtime yet. Meanwhile, I still need to feed the dogs and let Marley romp in the snow for a few more times.
CRAP!!! I also just found out that Christmas is only a few days away and I have to clean my house. <sigh> So, is it my fault or not that I never get anything done?
