TO DO or not to do? That is the question.

When I say that my to-do list for today is as long as my arm, I am not exaggerating.  It may possibly be as long as my leg even.

First and FOREMOST on the list is running to the store to get Hazelnut creamer.  Yesterday, in a dumb thought process, I decided I was going to quit coffee and I knew if I didn't have creamer, I wouldn't drink the coffee without it.  So I finished the creamer and didn't replace it.

Who does that??  Yeah.  Well.  I changed my mind.  Sue me.  I'm not quitting coffee.  Not today anyway.  Do I sound cranky?  So anywho, I have to run to the other end of town to get the damn creamer because I refuse to go to the gas station around the corner because I hate the jerk lady who works there in the morning.  And when I say jerk lady, I mean idiot mean cheating jerky jerk lady.

So after I get my creamer, and stuff, I am going to sit down on my comfy red chair and drink it and finish this to-do list.  Just so I can see how very much I have to accomplish today to feel... accomplished.  And worthy of the stay-at-home-Mom title.

OK.  So in the magic of blogworld time standing-stillness, I am back!  And I am saying ahhhh and drinking my coffee.  Right.  Now.  I am drinking my coffee before the shit storm of a busy day gets in full swing.
