Many times when I talk to people I get the sense they envy some aspect of life that they are currently not doing. It could be -
1. staying at home with the kids if they are a working mom,
2. consulting back to an old job if they are a stay at home mom,
3. owning their own business if they are still with their job.
Well gentle reader, envy no more. Here is what my day looked like from 3 pm on.
3 pm - Christmas crafts with Juliette
4 pm - Christmas crafts with Evie
5 pm - Made dinner
6 pm - Ate dinner with family - husband cleaned up
6: 30 pm - fought with DHL about latest pearl delivery (lack thereof)
6:45 pm - made sugar cookie dough for Evie's class party
7 pm - a quiet hour alone unaware of the gathering perfect storm
8 pm - leave for DHL Alexandria office to get the darn pearls myself
9 pm - accept consulting assignment (due by tomorrow morning)
9 pm - realize the doctor has called and Juliette does not have appendicitis as we feared
9:30 pm - move laundry off bed so sick husband can sleep, check pearl inventory
9:45 pm - email all outstanding pearl orders, suggest drop off/pick up time
10:00 pm - bake Evie's sugar cookies, burn a third
10:30 pm - start consulting assignment
11:30 pm - realize I don't have all documents for consulting assignment
11:45 pm - realize don't have cards or gifts for all teachers for tomorrow's parties.
11:46 pm - realize I have not triple-booked tomorrow morning as I thought, I have quintauple booked tomorrow morning with deliveries, meetings, conference calls, and two class parties.
11:47 - in the midst of writing this, realize I don't care I'm booked up so much. Whatever happens, happens.
Rest easy gentle reader. The grass is definitely not greener here today and know that whatever will happen tomorrow will happen.
