In all Preparation: Weekend Shortcomings

It's midnight and I can't sleep! I'm still up prepping for this long week I'm about to endure. Why? Because I was so damn lazy this weekend. I admit it, I literally left everything to the last minute. I don't like to boast but I was crowned the queen of procrastination at birth. Somewhere along my linkage, I acquired a genetic mutation that makes me put everything off last minute and I'm living proof that it's not curable. I've already ask the doc!

Where did the weekend go? I don't feel rested and needless to say, I feel more tired than I did before the weekend even started. I took a stab at one or two things on my endless list of to-do's but not quite the important stuff I wanted to complete. All I can say is, "Great, more things to pile up for this coming week!" Now that I have time to analyze my sluggish and slothful weekend, my shortcomings came from thinking I can do way too much in so little time. I was a bit ambitious and it didn't help that Eden was so much fun to play with.



So I confess to you where my weekend shortcomings took place:

1. Laundry
I've learned  that there is no way to incorporate Eden with getting laundry done. All the Supermoms out there can attest but I found that it's just not possible. Either it sits in the basket until the little rugrat falls asleep or it becomes a pile that she jumps in. I'm staring at the pile that needs to be folded as we speak. Not gonna happen tonight.

2. Facebook-Be the Death of Me
Facebook, why do you have to be so addicting? Ok, it's not Facebook to blame! It's the people on Facebook. Everyone, please stop updating your status and making it oh so addicting for me to read it. Because I do! Here's the shortcoming: Eden's napping and instead of doing the laundry, I decided to spend my valuable time on Facebook-stalking and reading though the news feed. I have to take responsibility for that one!

3. Blog Time
Nope! Not mine! Other mommy blogs! Like Facebook, I decided to catch up on what the other mommy bloggers are up to since I don't get a chance to do it during the week. Salt & Nectar, you are too addicting! I absolutely love your blog. Summer-ize, I can probably spend all my time on your site looking through your pictures. To make it even worse, I just added two new/great blogs to following that like rest, is going to suck up my time. To date, I think I follow about 25 blogs. Oh dear! Gotta figure out a way to spread them through the week and get my daily fix.

4. Sunday Football
My boyfriend, Tom Brady was playing so of course I'm going to be there to support. What kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't tune in to watch him play? Yes, Sunday football got the best of me this weekend and though I don't really understand the name of the game, I was on my feet when they scored! They're called "touchdowns", right?

5. My darling Baby Eden
Finally, Baby Eden! She is the culprit of my weekend shortcomings. I pretty much spent the entire weekend playing with her and being a mommy! I love the time I spent playing with her. She brings me back to the old childhood days when I was so carefree. Love that about her. She's the best and I would take a bullet, and an incomplete list of chores to be able to just sit and watch her play with her toys.

This weekend taught me what's really important. I learned that laundry/a spick-and-span room can wait another day for a great day spent with my EdenBug!

  1. Holly you're too funny and as always, Eden is ADORABLE! It's not that hard to choose between boring laundry or a cute baby asking for your attention, so you made all the right choices this weekend! Let's just hope you haven't passed your undesirable genes to her =P

  2. LOL! Tell me about it! I hope she doesn't get that side of my genes. You have to come visit and have playdates with us. Totally hilarious watching her learn the world around her!
