Wait . . . isn’t there a blog with that title? Oh, yes, here it is! http://www.ishouldbefoldinglaundry.com/ Beth has a great site, you should check it out!
But . . . back to this post. I really should be folding laundry. Or cleaning the kitchen. Or planning dinner. But the house is . . . quiet. For the first time today.
So, rather than do the smart, predictable, productive, and mommy-like things that need to be done, I am gabbing away here. I actually think that’s healthy, too (or at least I tell myself that so I don’t feel too guilty). I do need something that is just for me. Something that is therapeutic, and that I enjoy. This fits in well, too, with my life with three little ones. I don’t need a sitter (although that would be nice), and I absolutely adore the community of friends and women who read this and can relate.
But it does beg the question, what did I do all day that kept me from folding the laundry that’s poured over a portion of my couch? I know I haven’t sat down, except to feed the baby. So . . . what have I been doing?
Jo-Lynne wrote a post at Musings of a Housewife almost a year ago titled What Do You Do All Day? I have revisited that post today, and I’m tempted to keep a time sheet (as she did) to see just where my time goes.
I’m sure that making meals and cleaning up meals takes up a chunk of my day. And there is the shuttling of my oldest to and from camp this week. And we did take a much needed trip to Target this afternoon. Oh, and I mopped the kitchen floor (was way past the deadline on that one). But, seriously. I mean, I didn’t even shower this morning. Don’t wrinkle your nose. You know you’ve had mornings (days) like that. And, I did shower last night. So there.
But, where did the time go? What else was I doing? I think I will track my time and see what happens. Wanna join the club? All the cool kids are doing it. . .
