Momservation: If time is a thief then Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are its accomplices.

☺        ☺        ☺


The stocking are STILL hung by the chimney with care...

Where does the time go? (If you are my husband please don’t answer that. I already know I have a Bejeweled problem.)

Is it really time to pick up the kids already? But I can’t! I still have to pick up the dry cleaning, stop by the store, change the laundry, figure out what’s for dinner and update my status on Facebook…

You realize I wish that last one was a joke.

Seriously, we moms know there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. And especially if you’re working full-time, there’s not enough time in this life.

So with all the things that need to get done and always being pressed for time, someone please tell me why the heck am I still stopping to update my status on Facebook and tweet the answer to the world’s problems?

In fact, I don’t even know why I’m writing this blog since it’s not the writing I do that makes me any money! And as my house continues to close in around me in heaps of countertop piles and closets threatening to burst forth and swallow my family whole, any writing right now deserves writer’s block.

Which leads me to:

Things I Should Be Doing Instead of Writing This Blog

• Taking down and putting away my Christmas decorations that have started mocking my improved organization resolution.
• Buying groceries so my kids don’t have to pick fuzzy green spots off their cheese and bread before making their lunches.
• Starting laundry before everyone in the house has to go commando.
• Sweeping the kitchen floor because my floor is starting to look more stocked than my fridge with food.
• Mopping the floors before it’s mistaken for a Twister mat.
• Paying the bills that still haven’t disappeared after pretending I didn’t see them.
• Cleaning the bathrooms because shutting the door forever just isn’t an option.
• Vacuuming the house before the dust bunnies and mites join forces and take over.
• Figuring out what’s for dinner so we don’t have to have left over left-overs.
• Putting away everything left on the counters because everyone’s pockets, backpacks, bedrooms, closets, and drawers may actually be totally empty now.
• Empty the dishwasher so I can load the dishes in the sink because we ran out of paper plates and plastic forks.
• Pick up toys, shoes, clothes, blankets and pillows I’m tired of tripping over while waiting for a child to actually do what they were supposed to do.

Of course, I could keep going but I’m only overwhelming and disgusting myself more and I just got a message on Facebook I really should answer…
