Fast Five

I’m busy today, so I am going to take a page from Rachel Bateman’s book and throw out a quick Fast Five Post.

  1. I’ve totally screwed up my sleeping schedule. My parents had the kid over the weekend, and I stayed up all night long both nights. Why is it so easy for me to stay awake at night and sleep during the day, and if I was on the other side of the world–would I not have this problem?
  2. I have a lot on my plate right now. Remember when summer was a time for relaxing? That so isn’t the case here. Don’t get me wrong, everything on my plate is amazing. But, I am still a little stressed and wondering when I will get to take a little breather.
  3. I refresh my email a lot. Like somedays it’s like nine bazillion times. There are things I am waiting on, and I can’t help it. *clicks refresh*
  4. Laundry overwhelms me. I feel like if I would just do one load a day every day, then it would be all good… but by the time I get done doing piles and piles of it, I don’t feel like doing it again for a long while. It’s a never ending cycle–I really hate never ending cycles of suck.
  5. The daughter and I are having a TON of fun driving around in our Chevy Malibu. The blog launches next week, and I can’t wait. My favorite part is that it’s forcing me to finally get some video editing skills–that is something internet-ish that I have totally been lacking in. So, thanks Chevy~!

So what do you use for video editing. I play around with Animoto, but I have zilch skills.

Mebbe give http://animoto.com/ a whirl. It’s free and the results look pretty awesome-y.

I have zero video editing skills. I have a fourteen yr. old son though-so that’s the next best thing. :)

I too hate to do laundry. I always seem to have endless piles of it. Blech. I’m a crappy housekeeper in general though. I’m not proud of it, but I’ll freely admit it. I’ve never been good at boring stuff and housework has to be the most boring thing on the face of the planet!! You have my sympathy with your laundry problems!

Anyway, I’m actually writing to let you know that I gave you an award on my site.

I’ve been following you for months and have always been entertained so I figured you definitely deserve one!:)

To pick it up just come to my site and click on the blog link. See you there! Have a happy Monday. :)

Laundry–the battle cry of every Mom. Did you notice that when you had your daughter the laundry multiplied exponentially? I have a family of four, but it feels like I wash for eight.

And I’m with you on the email refresh. Waiting is hard, especially if it’s writing-related.

Hang in there!

Your daughter is TOO funny! “Why do you keep forgetting?” Ha!

And yeah, my piles of laundry aren’t getting any smaller. Anyone who needs whites can look in the drier. At least they’re clean!
