Priorities

I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. This sounds like the kind of thing that would be a minor glitch in one's schedule. For me, my 30-minute doctor's appointment controls my whole day. That's what happens when you have two kids and you are at the mercy of other people to watch them for you. I am taking the boys to my parents house, and since my appointment is right in the middle of nap time (the only time my doctor had available), I have to take the kids over there by lunch so they can eat there and then go down for naps. If I feed them here first, they will fall asleep in the car on the way to my folks and then they won't sleep when we get there (which, come to think of it, wouldn't be my problem...hmmm.....). So even though it's 9:30 in the morning and my appointment isn't until 3:40, I feel like I have a whole lot to do in a very short period of time. In the next couple of hours I have to make 3 beds, dry my hair, iron my clothes, put on my make-up (gotta look cute to go to the doctor), pack lunches for my kids, fold the load of laundry that has been sitting on my couch since Wednesday (sad but true) and dress 3 people, all while taking care of a couple of toddlers who have no interest in letting me have any time to myself (and there will likely be a diaper to change and a potty seat to empty).

So with all of this ahead of me, what did I decide to do? Sit down and write a blog post, of course! I am nothing if not a procrastinator.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
