What do you do when there's too much to do?

You could do what I am doing at the moment, and avoid doing anything excpet for reading other peoples websites :) I just found my neighbor's page since it is part of her signature in her emails. The thing is that I have so much to do, the last thing I should be doing is reading these things...or writing a new one of my own! But I figured since I got the boys' closets sorted and orgnanized by size and season again...I deserve a damn break :) That is 3 closets cleaned out (in 1/2 a day) and now all the clothes in each of their closets actaully fit them again!

Now I should be reading- I have 2 chapters to read for Monday. I should be writing the 4-6 page paper on the book I had to read for that class too (it was an AWESOME book). Or, I could be doing the small resource assignment she gave us on Monday. I could be putting away our mountain of laundry, or picking up any room in the house since they all need it right now. I could be cleaning the bathrooms becasue they need it too. I could be going through the boys' old toys and putting them in keep/sell or donate piles. I could be putting the rocks I bought at Bachmans around the pond in the front to finish the landscaping. They have only been sitting out there in bags for two weeks now. I could be taking a shower since I have the chance to get cleaned up today finally. I could be returning some curtain rods I bought at Target...or filling out the little survey they give you at the register...boy would it be nice to win 5 grand to Target :) I could also be cleaning out the garden, or getting ready to bake. I could be taping off the top half of my very red bathroom so I can paint it tan and leave the bottom red. I could be going through old frames and things to hang on our walls so they aren't so empty. I could be painting the second color on the peg board for my scrapbook room...and I could be working on a page or two while I am at it!

But I am not. I am sitting on here instead. I think it is just that there is so much to do... and I can't concentrate on one thing long enough to actaully finish it, so nothing feels like it ever gets done. Oh well. This is the first time I have sat down today. But now I think it is time to break out the homework... that is until monkey 1 and monkey 2 wake up from their naps :) That reminds me...Andy had a field trip today! I wonder how that went. They should be on their way back to school right about now!

  1. I would have to say that I do the same thing as you, because here I sit right now and I have baskets and baskets of laundry to put away and bathrooms to scrub and vacuuming to do too!! I think some days are very overwhelming!!! 

    I also want to Thank you for letting my kids come to your house during the service on Sunday, I am thinking that we are going to be bringing them there, and if we do we will probably be to your house by like 12:00 or 12:30 if that is OK ??

  2. That is perfectly fine. I hope you dont mind it if my kids have colds though. It's not bad...no fevers or anything. Just runny noses.

    I am glad I am not the only one who gets overwhelmed with too much stuff to do! But seriously... you gotta stop once and a while. Otherwise I know I could  come up with stuff to do for 3 days straight and still not be done by the end of it. It is insane! (But good :)

  3. That is fine, mine just got over all that and they seem to be sick all fall and winter anyways:)  Devon's asthma is getting worse and we just had to spend a ton of money to get Reese his neb stuff for the winter, it is crazy!!  I am bringing hot beefs on Sunday as well and buns, so I will probably plug that in when we drop the kids off too.

    I know, the housework never seems to end! And also lately I am feeling like I wish that I could get like 5 minutes to do one thing all the way instead of starting all this stuff and just having too many things going!
