Can do attitude
I woke up this morning, all keyed up on sleep. I had an entire hour to myself before the girls woke up and boy was it nice. It gave me a false sense of hope and made me think that today, anything was possible. Oh yeah, you know the kind of day I'm talking about. You wake up, the birds are singing, the sun is shining, and you just know that you can accomplish anything.I was on top of the world, then life happened. First, I had my coffee, then I changed into my workout clothes. Of course, I did. Can do attitude told me that today was the first day of the rest of my life. I just knew I was going to power through the day, feed the kids some healthy meals, play outside, engage them in stimulating mental activities, spring clean, return those movies about to be due, pay bills, workout, return emails, make appointments, maybe even get to work from home, post a blog or two, save the world from domination of some sort.You know me...I'm Wonder woman. Sure am, wondering how the hell I am going to get all of this shit done in 24 hours. Don't you just love it when amongst all of this craziness that is our life, the unexpected constantly happens. And its never anything good; like unexpectedly winning the lottery. No I am referring more along the lines of your pipes unexpectedly bursting, or maybe an unexpected bill. Or maybe a lovely phone call with the other person , way the frick out in who knows where, taking up your precious time to ask, "What cha doing?" "Hmmmm.,UMMMM, everything..and you are taking up my valuable time, ASSHOLE!" That is what this lovely day, so full of possibilites, turned into. Here I sit, just changed out of my work out clothes, never got to work out. Nope, the 3 hours it took to get my 2 year old to sleep at nap time and the 2 hours that it took to get my 5 year old down at bedtime...just about broke me down today. How is today suppose to be the first day of the rest of my life? I don't want the rest of my life to be a series of dumb luck and complete madness. So, I will go to bed and start all over tomorrow. Can do attitude says it can be done. Failure is not an option and all that rigamarole. I bet can do attitude doesn't have kids or a life! Damn you Can do attitude and all your false hope and security.Today was so crazy, I'm thinking of changing the name of this blog to the craziness chronicles!

I had to laugh while reading this. I always wake up doing this. Saying what I am going to do - when I go to classes I think about what I will do when I get home and I may do like 3 of the million I want/need to do!
