It’s quiet time at my house; the kids are asleep/reading/listening to audiobooks/laying down awake. I’m staring at my computer screen. I would swear there are dozen things I need to “do” on the computer, but I can’t think of a single one. Not any.
And then, you know what’s going to happen? Sadie will wake up, everybody else will get up, I’ll close the laptop, and then my head will suddenly be filled with virtual errands: Email so-and-so! Check if whatchamacallits are on sale! Update something or other on the blog! Shop for cute shoes! (Wait, shoes? What?)
And then I won’t be able to find a pen, so I won’t make a list, and tonight after the kids go to bed I’ll sit and stare blankly at the screen again, willing my mind to conjure up even one thing I intended to do. Sigh.
My favorite thing to do is to go to the computer with a PURPOSE, and then as soon as I get there, I get distracted by an E-mail or something else flashing on my screen. I’ll then spend several minutes, or even an hour, attending to that task or straying onto others. Then, as soon as I close the laptop, I remember the original purpose.
Parenthood causes brain damage.
Same thing happens to me when I get to work!!
I’m glad I’m not the ONLY one who has this problem!
Wow…I know exactly what you mean! And, I can never find a pen for notes either! Funny
This sounds so familiar to me. You need a little pad and pen that you can velcro to your pants.
I am always running around in circles like that!
