Yesterday (Monday) I experienced a lack of focus like I haven't seen in a long time. We were running all weekend long, and had Monday off work, so it was our first day home over the long weekend. And it was raining all day. I woke up at 8 and:
1) tidied up the counter
2) did a load of laundry
3) unloaded the dishwasher
4) skipped breakfast in a sort of defiance...nobody (read: Chris) ever says "What should we have for breakfast" or makes coffee. So I didn't even mention it. And of course, nobody offered.
5) watched a 30 minute travel show.
6) tried to read the paper and couldn't focus.
7) went to grocery store for milk and pizza sauce.
8) made homemade pizza.
9) pulled a couple of weeds and wandered around outside, looking at the flowers and veggies between sprinkles. When I say a couple of weeds, I literally mean like six.
10) tried to nap, but my dad stopped over for a few minutes.
11) wandered around the house with no focus. Considered reading book. Decided not to.
12) sat in front of afternoon tv, not really absorbing anything.
13) made steaks and sauteed escarole for dinner. Made Nolay season steaks as it was too much thinking for me. I mean, I thought of the escarole thing, wasn't that taxing enough?
14) sat in front of evening tv, not really absorbing anything. Considered going on the basement treadmill. Didn't.
15) turned on computer thinking about watching something on hulu. Didn't find anything interesting. Chris asked if I wanted to watch Invictus. I didn't.
16) sat in front of night tv, not really absorbing anything.
17) painted my toenails.
18) thankfully, went to bed.

Omg, Kim. You are becoming me! Except I would never skip morning coffee, which Tom & I never make for each other as we have seperate and incompatible coffee-making protocols.
What color are your toenails?
I went to McDonald's for the boys' breakfast on Monday and then proceeded to cook myself an egg sandwich. Sometimes I get very irritated at them about breakfast, and I didn't feel like cleaning a bunch of dishes.
Mmmmm pizza!
Orangey-Red, Swami. I went out on a limb and bought turquoise polish, but have only worn it once. It scares me.
Mmmm, breakfast sammies.
That sounds about what my weekends are like. Except for the homemade food stuff. :-)
Maybe I need to embrace this instead of fight it. However, my homework and my weeds won't do well if neglected like this!
