This Is Crazy...

There aren't enough hours in a day to accomplish what I need to do.

I try to squeeze in a little time to write, but I only end up distracted by one thing or another.

I try to squeeze in time to read a chapter of The Purpose Driven Life. Yet, I only end up putting the book down to tend to the Snickerdoodle. Screw this reading one chapter a day for 40 days straight. It's just not working. The information was retaining and allowing me to marinate on the thoughts I just read - as the author intended and suggested in doing. However, didn't he know I'm in the midst of developing ADD? I gotta read all that I can, otherwise I'll put it down and it will just collect dust.

I need to actually finish my laundry... as in I need to empty the laundry basket. Yet, thanks to a janky washing machine that doesn't fully wring out the clothes, it takes forever for the clothes to dry in the dryer. Washing is a 2 to 3 day project...a week tops. Figure that with both my laundry and the Snickerdoodle's. Everyone's laundry basket hasn't been fully emptied since pre-messed up spin cycle.

I did manage to finish gathering Snickerdoodle's old clothes, bag them and run them to the Mission of Love charity. I'm sure that won't be my last trip there.

I've been wanting to blog for days. Thoughts swirl in my head. However, I'm dealing with distractions. Wow, maybe I DO have ADD?!?!?!?!

Contractors drilling, banging and clanking...Snickerdoodle needing me....running errands with my mother...helping my mother with my grandmother's errands/needs......helping the little cuz with his homework...cooking dinner for the family....

I still need to fit time to respond/pitch to postings for freelance gigs. I managed to do one this week. I need more.

Tomorrow I head to settlement with my mom so we can take care of the paperwork with the condo.

There are things I need to mail...people I need to call and check on....

Mother's Day and birthday cards I need to shop for.....

Health insurance I need to check on...

Student Loan status I need to check......PLUS my (so called) re-enrollment back to school. So called because, I haven't heard a peep out of my school since I submitted my Former Student Returning application via online. Oye! HBCUs.. gotta love them.

My head feels as if it's all over the place, but I still feel some focus. Yet, it wasn't until I had left Wal-Mart today that I realized I forgot the main item I went there to get - facial/pore cleanser.

Yeah.. "I'm Focused Maaaaan!"

In catching the premiere of the new season of Kimora Lee Simmon's Life in the Fab Lane, I totally feel and felt for Sandra during the episode. Sandra, Kimora's former personal assistant, was promoted to brand manager of Phat Farm Fashions.  However, in the midst of trying to focus on her new responsibilities, Kimora needed her help in planning a birthday party for her oldest daughter.  At one point, I saw the frustration or stress in Sandra's face. As much as like watching Kimora's team work - as they give me creative inspiration - I have to wonder if any of them ever felt or got so close to the edge of just leaving their "good job" for good, because of the stress levels.

*Flash backing to James' meltdown in LA during last season*

All in all...in all of the latest "craze" going on in my life...

I'm just coasting along really.

I wonder if this is how I'm suppose to feel?!?!?!??!?!?!?

Maybe... minus the lack of focus....
