July 17th ~ Procrastination Queen

You know that ABBA song, Dancing Queen? I need to rewrite the words for me.

Procrastination Queen
Mind not clean (A good subject for another post :) )
Way over seventeen....

etc etc... lol

You see, the thing is, I got myself a job.

It's part time. ~ 5 hours a week to not be in "Mommy Mode"....

This is a good thing (spoken in my best Martha Stewart voice lol) .

But I work from home... DO you hear me??? I WORK FROM HOME!

And that measly 5 hours needs my FULL concentration...

Ok.....for those of you who are channeling Martha.....you may not understand this........but HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO NOT GET DISTRACTED?

I sit down at the computer, cup of hot coffee in my hand, smiling to myself over what I'm about to accomplish.....and voila ~

The phone rings....

So I don't answer it, wait til it stops ringing, sign onto the computer so that my phone is busy and I won't get any calls.....and voila ~

I begin wondering about things I can look up on the web....or I see a friend I feel like instant messaging....

So I turn off my computer sounds, and go back into the field I need to be working in........and voila ~

What's that smell? Did I accidentally leave a load of laundry in the washer? Shit!

So I redo the laundry, sit back down at the computer (my coffee is cold but I try to ignore that).......and voila ~

The doorbell rings. It's the kindergarten crew looking for my daughter.....I know it....so I don't answer the door. They'll go away.

DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG

Good Lord......so I answer the door, give them a band-aid, explain where my daughter is, let them use the bathroom, give them a cup of water, let them borrow our 4-square ball, AND SHUT THE DOOR after they promise to not knock for two hours.

DING DONG

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"What?"

"But will she be HOME in 2 hours? Do you have a napkin? We're getting a new dog. I saw Free Willy last night! My sister had McDonalds."

How is anyone supposed to work?

I need a nap.
