Maddy showed me this hysterical video of why things never really get done entirely, my version goes something like this............
I walk into the kitchen to check my Scrabble games on FB. I stop to pick up the kid's shoes. I take Ned's to his room and start to make his bed. I find one sock and so turn to look for the other one. In the bottom drawer he hasn't closed is the missing pair of scissors. I walk down to the kitchen to put them away. I see a dog barf on the floor and set the scissors on the entry table. I go into the laundry room to get the carpet cleaner. I forgot I hadn't switched the laundry from the washer to the dryer. I take the dryer clothes to the back room and start to fold them. I hear my cell phone ring, but don't know where it is. On the way through the dining room I see a Lego creation and decide to put it away in Ian's room. On the way up there I see the dog barf, so set the Lego on the couch. I go into the kitchen to get paper towels. I forgot to do the dishes. I am putting them in the dishwasher, when the phone rings. It is the school I forgot to do a dismissal email. I sit on the couch to do it and realize all the pillows and cushions need to be fluffed to maybe remove the little boy feet smell. I get one fluffed and the cat jumps up to be pet. I then have to pet Hoover, because you can't forget his insistent nose all wet in your elbow. I walk into the bathroom to wash my hands and see one pair of underwear and a blue crayon on the floor. I head to the back room to put the crayon away, but see the dog water bowl is empty. I set the crayon and underwear on the table. This goes on all day. I pick the kids up at the bus and they ask what I did all day? Why didn't I make cookies? It is now time for bedtime and half a bed has been made, 1/3 the laundry folded, 1/2 the dishes washed, no dog barf actually cleaned up, a blue crayon and pair of underwear on the table, scissors missing, no dismissal done. Big sigh!!
