Mommy overload...

I'm writing this entry because I am procrastinating...

I really ought to be:

1.) Making a 4 ft tall paper giraffe for Brandon's play

2.) Making a "Zoo" entrance sign for Brandon's play

3.) Doing the dishes

4.) Cleaning the cat box & feeding said cat

5.) Changing the linens on my bed & doing the laundry

6.) Raking the leaves

7.) Mopping the floors

8.) Taking a shower and getting out of these pajamas

That's just off the top of my head...I'm sure there is more. That can mean only one thing - yep, I'm on "Mommy Overload". I would like to think that I am not normally someone who puts everything off...in fact, I'm a pretty reliable and organized person. This week though I just want to be a lazy ass. Is that so terrible? I guess it is if you are one of the above mentioned 8 items. LOL

My friend called me last night to say her cat of 20 years passed away on Thanksgiving. How sad. I know she is very sad over this loss...wish I could do something to really help. During our conversation she reminded me of about 10 more things I ought to be doing for SpeakOUT. It is all too much. I really just want to be left alone for about 3 weeks. Instead, tomorrow I have to drop off those scenery items at the school, put together a Christmas auction item and drop it off at Stonewall and then speak to about 30 kids in Westerville about being an ally to the glbt community. Then I have to rush to Meg's school to pick her up from Scouts. Ack! Where's that white flag?!

Well - I promised myself that I wouldn't spend all day on the computer, but I've been online now for 2 hours! Bad mommy! I best go before my cat busts his gut from meowing in hunger.

Keep sane out there & don't forget to watch Law & Order SVU tonight - with any luck Stabler's pesky wife will bite the big one so he can be with the real love of his life! ;o)
