Squirrel





I usually start out my day checking emails and such, then pop over here to reply to comments and then SQUIRREL!  I'm reading fifteen blogs and forty-five minutes have passed.  What was I doing?  Oh yeah, needed to write a post for the week.  Get that done, go back to edit for my critique partners, one of my kids cries, fix their boo boo, walk by the laundry room and SQUIRREL!  What was I doing?  Two loads of laundry later, dishes done, and cat box cleaned, I return to my computer and finish reading for one of my cps, open up the next batch of chapters, ahhh my desk is such a mess and SQUIRREL!  What was I doing?  My desk is now beautiful and one of my kids is hungry so I fix them both lunch and wow I need to vacuum but the vaccuum needs to be emptied and how come nobody ever sweeps the front porch?  Another hour and a half pass and I finally return to my computer to finish the chapters, go to email edited work to cp and YAY I have an email from my sister and SQUIRREL!  What was I doing?  Six emails later and a half hour of cyber browsing and oh I better check my blog to see if I need to return a new follow, and maybe I can read two more chapters before I really have to eat.  I open the next story and SQUIRREL!

Maybe I need one of these



I think it's time I give myself a schedule :)  Maybe one of those kitchen timers with a loud ding too, I have a cute chicken one, but I think it's in my daughter's room, her room is such a mess, maybe I should help her organize it, oh my pantry could use that too, and what am I cooking for dinner tonight, oh yeah I need to go to the grocery store...

  6. Ha! This is so me right now. Staying on track has become almost impossible. Being a mom and a writer can be an interesting combo.

  7. I won't even open my reader until I have my blog post written in the morning, otherwise I'd be up a creek without a SQUIRREL!!!

  8. Haha. Hope you are hilarious. I tend to have the opposite problem. If I'm totally into something and honed in on finishing it, don't try and interrupt me. :)

    It comes in handy when I'm critiquing other's work though...like yours! :)

    Then again, I'm only responsible for me. Eventually when I've got other little ones as selfish as myself, things will be VERY different I presume :)

    1. Indeed - multitasking is a gift and a curse! Depends on the day one's having...

  14. LOL. This is so funny. That's how I am at work.

    BTW-Switchfoot is awesome. Did you ever watch A Walk to Remember? Mandy Moore sings a song in that movie and it is their song. Just love them.

  15. I love squirrels :) My cats and dogs always used to fight but they always formed alliances to take down the squirrels... It was almost impossible to stop them. They worked as a murder squad...

  17. The phrase Fall On The Floor Laughing doesn't cover it.

    Donna Hole pointed me this way.

    Looks like you need another Blog Award.

    Come to my site to pick it up.
