I'm just a girl trying to find her own custom groove in this world without bending to the expectations of others.

Schedule Change

As I mentally lay out my plans for the rest of the week, I realize that there will not be enough minutes in a day for me to accomplish all that I need to, even if I work into the night hours. As Clew likes to say, "I'm going to be busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest."

I've got two mortgages that are in the phase that requirs the most work on my part, a couple from California that wants to see five houses, and about a million errands that need to be done this week. And that's after delegating and juggling certain tasks to a later, more convenient time and date.

Tomorrow, I dust off my hammer and tool belt to start a siding job, which means I have to cancel doctor appointments, tanning appointments and try to fit my excersize, real estate and mortgage appointments into my evenings. And sometime during all this, I have to find time to make six dozen cookies for Friday night's play that my kids are in. Not to mention, cut out of work early that day because I'm in charge of the concession stand.

So with this sudden explosion of work, I doubt I will be around Blogger much until this weekend. I'll be thinking of all of you while I bake, build and bullshit with my clients.

What play are they in? Oh! I love stage moms. Especially when they come equipped with cookies.

Buy the cookies, it takes one thing off the list.

Itchy said...

Good luck getting everything done! Oh...and I agree with spin_doc1...

Yikes! That sounds waaaaay to busy! Your week will fly by so fast you won't even realize it.

When you get back, we'll all be here waiting to read! Good luck this week sista!

Lori said...

Wow, can I ever relate. I understand this feeling all too well and its the reason I've been deliquent on both writing and reading on blogs for some time. More of it to come in the near future, so we can be kindred harried-olics! ;-)

P.S. Make sure you take a moment here and there to be nice to YOU, too...

Hey, if you have all the fixings for the cookies at your house, I will bake them while I watch Drew sleep! Sounds like an offer you shouldn't refuse if you ask me! ;-)

clew said...

See this is why I feel bad complaining about how busy and crazy my life is, because you always totally trump me. :)

Wish I could help! And remember, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

HUGS ~

Theresa said...

I'm exhausted just thinking about how busy you are. Take it easy, and definitely let Martie make the cookies.

Damn. Good luck!

If you buy Matt's brand chocolate chip cookies and put them in the oven for two minutes, they will be indistinguishable from home baked.

Rebecca said...

You rock Michelle.

You build houses - AND you bake cookies.

I think you may be my idol. :)

Smerdyakov said...

While you're at it, you may as well bake a couple dozen more. I prefer chocolate chip (no nuts).

Joy said...

"i'm not worthy....i'm not worthy" nnm you're one amazing woman!

clew said...

Ohhh man. It takes a lot of self control to not make a snide remark about "no nuts". ;)

Just checking in on you, hon. Talk to you soon ~

Nuts are to a fruitologist as a fly is to manure.

Not too snide but coy in reply:)

Michelle, get back to blogging and quit telling me how cold it was:)

If you are going to do siding then you don't need a tanning salon or excersize for that matter. You'll get the real thing.

Why is it half the nails are for the side of the building I'm not working on.

If I spray enough water the siding sticks without these dumb nails anyway.

Aaahhhh, invention.

Stay put siding! Stimpy, you are the keeper of the cheese.

I have space madness!

Melzie said...

*giggle* I hope last week was a huge success! I'm guessing you're recooping! I surely would be!

Cheryl said...

What a WOMAN--construction and cookies! Thanks for coming by to say hi--thigs are crazy in my 'hood, too. But I wanted to drop by your place to say hello also. Later...
