DISCLAIMER: Before reading this, know none of this is meant as rude, complaining, shallow or whatever...these are thoughts in my head which is why this is a blog.
I am off work today, needed to take a day before the "hell breaks lose at work" for the next month. Paperwork needed to be done, taxes needed to be prepared, etc.
So I got up at 4:13am as usual and went off to Seal Team 5:45am workout, got home at 7am, said hi to Bob while eating my bagel, then laid down for a one hour snooze fest.
Got up at 8:30am, waited for the BBQ drop off from D.A. and then off to Ukrop's.
We have a dinner guest tonight so in my usual manner, I made the entire baked spaghetti dinner, including homemade croutons and set the table.
It's 10am and off to start the "paperwork" - ugh!
It wasn't looking too bad as my organization made it fly...receipts, statements, interest earnings...file, file, file. Envelope for CPA all ready, this month's receipts reconciled and all the work I thought I needed a day for is done...and it's 12:30pm. I guess I will eat lunch. Done. I am bored out of my gourd!!!
Maybe it's because we don't have kids and because I am so anal-retentive and keep my house and laundry caught up but what am I suppose to do with the rest of the day? It's not that I don't feel productive, because I do. I like being organized, making lists, keeping order and having everything in its place but should I do less on a regular basis so I will have more to do during down time? Funny thing is, I never feel overloaded. Friends tease me when I say my house is messy, because they say it's not, but it is to me. I joke about my pantry (Sleeping With The Enemy has nothing on me) and the fact that I label all the items in the pantry and fridge each week for dinner. I guess I just wonder what I am doing wrong.
Oh well, just thoughts in my head I figured as long as I had time I would blog about it. Ugh, now it's only 1:11pm...

1. The kids LOVE school, they LOVE their teachers, and they LOVE their
classmates. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Here they are on their
first ...

Ahh- now we know why the Orange County housewives fill their days with shopping & gossip! It's not that they are vapid and shallow, it's that they have absolutely nothing else to do! You'd never make a good OC housewife - you are too intelligent and nice. :)
