Every mom tries to be the best at everything. It is our nature. I would love to be the perfect have it all together, all the time person. (does she even exist?) I am just to ADD for that.So I will settle for being happy with my life. Most of the time I am....then there are days when I am happy just so overwhelmed, like today. I get fed up with clutter and spend half my day de-cluttering, then I get distracted and move on to something else. When I come back to the first project, I become annoyed that its a mess. I just can't win.I think of an idea and I need it to happen. Like bewitched, snap my fingers and it's done. I love instant gratification! I skip the cheesecake at lunch and expect a 3 pound weight loss on the scale......that's just me. I am always searching for a system to help me be organized. It never seems to work. Whatever it is. I am a unique creature and need a personalized plan. I need to be reminded of things a million times. I am very good at lists. When I make a list it reads like this: 1)wake up 2) pee 3) get dressed.....
I wonder what would happen if I left out the first three steps to my day. would I not get out of bed and go to the bathroom? I started doing this once when I was so busy, this way I would feel accomplished that I would already have things checked off my list. (I know I need help). Where is this all going? I am getting there. My wonderful husband introduced me to the world of outlook. It is working....well only if I am logged on to my computer. Then I have my calendar on my phone. And I have the Calendar in the kitchen....do you see the problem? So the computer thing is working, except then i have to remember to put it in my phone. So I decided i needed a phone that would sync with my computer. lucky for me my phone was dying and I live n 2011 and this is possible. My husband has an amazing android and i have major envy. Well, I DID!!!. On Sunday we took a family trip to the mall and I traded in my blackberry for an EVO. It is a very fancy phone. I am not scared of technology, but I am petrified of this phone. I do not do well with change and as happy as I was with my new phone I felt a sense of lose for my blackeberry. (I know it is just a phone, but all the stuff on it...)
I have become so dependent on technology that I am feeling lost because I can't figure out my new phone. Does that make sense to you or do you think I am crazy? It's ok i can live with that.....I was so afraid that I was going to miss an important email i was waiting for, that i ended up checking my phone about 400 times today causing the battery to die and needed to be charged in the car and when i got home. I think I finally figured out he email thing.
Since there is more to life then my phone...As you know Tuesday is family dinner night (hubby's father and aunt come), I always make something extra nice. I went to the butcher and bought second cut brisket to make beef and wine sauce, (I usually use cheek meat but they were out) I put up the meat and started the Israeli cous cous. While that was sauteeing my laptop starting ringing. It was my neices and nephews wanting to skype. In the short time it took me to get the kids my cous cous burned.I tried to ignore the fact that it was burned and move on but it was kind of hard to ignore. I was about to cry, when aunt alex texted that she wasnt coming for dinner. Then Shmuel called and said he was working late and wouldn't be home in time. Then my father in law called and said he was running late and wasnt going to come....crying stopped. Kids didn't care if there is a side dish. Yussi and I ate meat, the girls ate hot dogs....dinner was saved....
In between checking emails, I did manage to empty the arts and crafts closet, bring lunch to Shmuel on a job, meet a friend for lunch, take Dee to swim lessons, make dinner-kind of, do homework and clean up....I guess I am a super women!
Till next time......happy eating....
