Well, to be honest, it's Pre-Spring Pre-Cleaning. I woke up full of energy, or at least a quarter tank, and decided to tackle my daughters room. Yes, she is old enough to clean it herself, but I am delusional enough to think "If I can just get it ORGANIZED she'll totally be able to keep it that way". So, after breakfast (Diet Coke) it's time to tackle the job. This is at 8:00 a.m. Of course before you can put everything BACK nice and neat, you have to take everything OUT. So I opened the closet and started pulling. Then I moved on to the dresser. Open drawers? Check! Empty contents on floor? Check! Remember that you suck at organization? Oops. Check....
Luckily I have my trusty computer and it knows EVERYTHING. Turns out it even has (windows vista premium) built in templates and one of them has something to do with cleaning/organizing your home. SWEET! So I'm gonna print that out and get to it. If only my trusty computer could locate the printer. I THOUGHT YOU KNEW EVERYTHING! I TRUSTED YOU DAMMIT! Buthey, no problem, I'm up to this task as well. I just need to focus. Well, focus I did. While my two year old sprinkled the econo-sized box of rice krispies throughout the house...I focused. While my daughter practiced writing the word "tyrannosaurus" on her closet door...I focused. When horse/dog ripped off a window screen and ate it...I focused. I only took a break to crunch (or, rather, krispy) my way to the kitchen to make the kids lunch.
Well apparently downloading drivers, and uploading settings, and upsetting loads, and driving downups is more difficult and time consuming than I thought.
It is now 7:00 p.m. The ability to print remains but a dream and my daughter is going to have to be airlifted to her bed. Oh, and we're out of cereal.

- I am a 35 year old wife and mother. I have a 7 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I have been married for about 60 billion years. I am a stay at home mom and really appreciate the opportunity to be one, just wish I wasn't the only one in my house who had the word "appreciation" in their vocab! I like Diet Coke, my kids, reading, shopping and two people (at last count). I dislike Pepsi, onions, rodents, and people who make me feel inadequate (including but not limited to: maids, my husband, and women under 92 yrs and 2000 lbs.).
