I didn’t get sidetracked

There’s something to be said for realising at 3pm that you haven’t really finished one of the things that you started today.

I was full of good intentions and hopes this morning. I was going to clean to house. I was going to do all the washing. Vacuming and mopping the house was also achievable. A trip to the supermarket was going to be a breeze (I forgot the list!).

I figured that I could arrange the files of bills alphabetically. Perhaps even a trip to OfficeWorks to buy more files and dividers.

It was all within my reach.

I could also bake a carrot cake! After Miss Four showed me a picture of one in a kids book, I could smell it! I need a new recipe for it, thats ok, I can Google it while helping Master Seven hunt through ABC Kids online.

I still need to finish making the bed. The xmas tree is half down. I’m sure I can get the shopping put away and the clean clothes folded while hanging out the wet ones. It’s only 3.05. I’ve only spent 5 minutes here. Although I do need to find a photo for the post. Perhaps I can get the ones of the camera and photoshop them while I start of the cake.

I might have to start thinking about dinner while I’m putting the citrus fertiliser under the five citrus trees we have. I could also bring in the dry washing while I’m watering it in.

I’m not the kid of person to get sidetracked. This is not a normal day. Really.
