Here’s my day so far…

It seems like I can never get anything done. Oh, I start LOTS of things but it takes every ounce of willpower for me to finish it without detouring to something else. This morning was a good example of why. May be you can relate?

Here’s my day so far:
Wake up
Get kids up
Get them off to school
Shower & get ready
Volunteer at school
Sign field trip form so I don’t have to do it later
Hit up McD’s for $1 diet coke & $1 McDouble (no onions please)
Bank
Library
Home!
Now it’s time to work, right?
But first I need to write the field trip on the family calendar. But the pencil is dull, so I have to take it to the office and sharpen it.
Walk into my office (diet coke in hand) to sharpen pencil.
Start clearing off my desk
Notice 2 boxes on the floor that need putting away
Open one of the boxes (BIG mistake)
Sort Boxes
File some things from boxes
Egads! My files are a mess
Begin organizing file drawer
Throw out LOTS of old stuff
Re-categorize other stuff
Lots of empty file folders. Yay!
Sort file folders into two piles 1. Folders for me to use. 2. Folders to be used by my children.
Notice the pile of paper clips from the papers I trashed. I can’t throw paper clips away. (It’s an illness.)
Sort paperclips by style and size, then open top desk drawer to put them away.
Oh this drawer needs some attention.
Organize drawer. Oh, THAT’s where all my pens went.
Time to check email.
Click on email from Hootsuite. My card has expired and I owe them $5.
Go find my purse and my new card.
Update the info for HootSuite and make payment. Decide to check Twitter. (Major time sucker here.)
Catch up on tweets. Click on some photo attachments. Cute!
Back to email *sigh*
It’s 1:00pm and I haven’t done a lick of work.
……look! Something shiny!

P.S. While I was typing this, my oldest came in and asked me for a file folder. What’d I tell ya!?  Go me!
