The Tyranny of the Urgent

May 28, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

The story of my life right now… The urgent gets done – the rest, well, it waits until it becomes urgent.

Today I am embracing the urgent….

Washing 2 more loads of laundry ( this will bring me to caught up! Yipee!)

Fold and put away clean clothes

Put away dishes

Vacuum upstairs (must find the upstairs first!)

Clean downstairs bathroom

Mop kitchen/dining/hallway

Clean refrigerator

Go to the Commissary ( it’s not easy baking without butter! )

Highlight/color hair ( I am redefining the term ” having roots”)

Call about a terminator ( it’s either me or the spiders)

Exercise walk

Make dinner (needs to be ready to eat by 5)

My kids will help me refine the things I truly consider “urgent” on this list. Wish me luck….

Someday I’ll write a post worth reading….

    Oh man, I know what you mean. I have such good intentions at the beginning of each day, but it seems I only get to the things that just can’t wait and all the sudden I turn around and it’s time for bed. That’s an ambitious list you have – good luck!

    And then when you are completely caught up on the laundry, and most of it is even folded and put away!, the baby will poo all. the. way. up her back and promptly dip the entire sleeve of her freshly washed jammas that you changed her into, in her black beans and rice.

    Or is that just me?

    You always write something worth reading, and when you don’t write, the pictures are just too gorgeous to miss.

    Hi Andrea,

    I’m a lurker, and I’ve been meaning to send you a comment for some time now. I just love reading your blog. Did you know your everyday life was so exciting to some people? It is! Your pictures are always beautiful, too. Thanks for sharing them.

    I have a blog, too, at jmtloveskmt.blogspot.com, but I’m going to be private soon. If you’d like an invite, you can email me at kristinmwarner@hotmail.com.

    And how bad are the spiders in NM that you have to call Arnold instead of an exterminator? Sounds serious to me! :) Have a great day!
