i'm gonna...nevermind....
[proud moment as cheering commences...Woman tackles to-do list with gusto, verve and abandon]
Business open!
Registrations coming in!
Blog post ideas stirring!
and just like that, all non-essential list items fell to the wayside.
I donned my usual 'home for four straight days' outfit and hoped that a new client wouldn't show up on my doorstep to drop off payment. Don't laugh...it happened a few years back...at the exact moment my husband and I were digging through a rubbermaid container while being half-dressed in old dance costumes preparing for a murder-mystery event set in the early 1900s. I was wearing a low-cut baby-blue lyrical dress with a lacy curtain tied around my waist while he was wearing skin-tight black spandex leggings which were supposed to be the underlings to a previously-historically-masculine pair of balloon-type pants. I think the client was more embarrassed than we were - and I honestly wondered if she'd withdraw her registration!
It's OK, she and I are facebook friends NOW, and it's a laughable memory..NOW. Sooooo anyway...with my hideous apparel and increasingly stiffening hair, the week went by and I looked upon my brood with mostly love, sometimes agitation, and cheered for small victories. I had that one crowing moment of pride when I realized that had I been "on my domestic game" and put away the gift bags and tissue paper from a couple of presents my friend had dropped off earlier in the week, the children would not have had their favourite toy from this round of self-assigned home confinement...
but really, all of this just to say, my to-do list didn't even get looked at other than to do move it to the wayside to avoid becoming an impromptu nose-wiper or chewing item for the baby and we're all alive and on the mend!
Thank God it's Friday!!!!! Happy weekend everyone!
