This weekend I had a ton of stuff to do.....but I....to didn't.
I have an extreme case of short term motivation. I had ADHD way before it was cool to take Ritalin. I get distracted more often than a two year old trying to playing tennis and have the attention span of...oooo look at that!
I was literally in the middle of moping my floor when I sat down to start writing this post. Only half of my kitchen floor is eligible for the "5 minute rule".
I have such good intentions, I come up with pretty good ideas, but my follow through is horrible.
People constantly tell me that I look upset, "smile!" they say. I am thinking people!! I am focusing, if I smile I will start to think about things that make me happy, and then I completely lose my train of thought. I have a train in my head alright...and its going straight to crazy town.
Even though I really didn't get much knocked of my list (I have several unfinished lists), the weekend was pretty great.
James had the whole weekend off and we enjoyed a lot of family time. He took the kids fishing, I stayed home to do something but I ended up doing nothing. We grilled, well he grilled. He cooked a huge Sunday breakfast. I am starting to feel like I was kind of a lazy ass this weekend....
Normally I would feel very guilty about this, but I don't. My kids are (semi)clean, ate multiple meals, played A LOT, did not have any accidents...not harmful one's for that matter, the dog is still alive...oh crap I forgot to take the trash out on Saturday...I guess I do suck as a parent.
OK so I now have a very smelly garage, and one more thing to add to my list (Lysol garage ASAP)
but if I were running around all weekend doing things like the mom I wish I were, I would of missed out on all the fun that everyone else was having, so I am glad that sometimes I just to-don't.

ReplyDeleteHi, I am Annie and I hopped over from the Mom's Mingle. I was totally cracking up while reading this! HA HA! How did you get inside of my head? Glad to know that I am not the only "to-didn't" mama out there :)
ReplyDeletechecked out your blog too and following :) I am convinced that no one ever really finishes their to-do list, as long as we all make it through another day right?
