So busy
April 25, 2008
Seriously, I have been the sort of busy that leaves me incapable of doing anything but fretting about how busy I am and mentally tallying all of the things that I have to do in my head. Over and over again. And yet, mysteriously, doing none of them. It is a great system.
I have found the time to vacuum my entire downstairs.
And I have quiche. That has to count for something, right?
Quiche, It’s Not Just for Brunch Anymore

Mmm…looks good.
April 26th, 2008 at 1:01 amHey, I just wrote a post on a very similar topic “my to do list”. Those quiches look delicious and it’s so great that your kids are involved!
April 26th, 2008 at 2:20 amFunny how that same pa system cycles endlessly in my head too…when I am trying to go to bed… when I need sleep the most.
Must clean playroom, call dentist, get dogs stitches out, buy seedlings for third grade veggie garden, sign up for swim team, send lab fee check, get 2006 taxes done, find rotten smell in car, get milk, eggs, bread, bagels, meat, veggies, edible food…
Then there are the what ifs and Did-I?s: Did I lock the car? What if I left my camera in the car? Oh my god did I set the alarm for the swim meet tomorrow…
Finally, we have the guilts. God, I need to lose weight before my brother’s wedding. I need to read to my kindergartner more. I need to stop snarfing. I need to start my eleven year old’s baby book.
I remember that my Mom, as a mother of six, always looked shell-shocked with a huge helping of memory loss. Now, with only three kids, I realize it was the stresses and pressures and, yes, guilt of motherhood that killed those brain celds…cewls…er…cells. Looks like I lost some just in the making of this comment, eh?
April 26th, 2008 at 2:34 amLooks good. whats in it?
April 26th, 2008 at 7:30 amWow, are you in my head? That’s exactly the reason why I haven’t posted in two weeks. (The busy, list-running-in-my-head part. Not the quiche part. OR, unfortunately, the vaccumming part. *sigh*)
April 26th, 2008 at 7:40 amI agree with the business. It’s the exact way I feel at the moment. May I borrow your words (with credit of course)?
April 26th, 2008 at 8:58 amman, i love quiche. i mental list in my sleep. i hate that!
April 26th, 2008 at 9:26 amYum. I heart quiche!
April 26th, 2008 at 10:31 amOh how I loathe that kind of busy. I’ve found that when you have so much to do you can see straight, a very excellent solution is to sit in front of computer and read blogs. VERY efficent.
Hang in there–
April 26th, 2008 at 12:52 pmMmmmm! Quiche!
So what do you eat after making dangerous food for the family?
As for the list making? I do it, too, and fret over how I’m not getting any of it done. I think my brain needs a break.
April 26th, 2008 at 4:41 pmMy mom used to have an apron that said:
“Quiche and Fondue me.”
I wish I had that apron.
Chris says: I wish I had that apron too!
April 26th, 2008 at 4:42 pmIt’s those darn baseball practices, games, scrimmages, meetings, etc. Life will be easier when you’re not a chauffeur, but it’s a double-edged sword since you won’t get to see them as much. I can’t wait until we have fresh veggies for a frittata, your quiche looks great and I love how the kids are helping.
April 26th, 2008 at 7:21 pmI fear that one day my head may explode with all that running around up there before I can get it all accomplished.
April 26th, 2008 at 8:49 pmAnd you have little boy knees. That also has to count for something. In adorable-ness.
April 26th, 2008 at 11:14 pmUnfortunately I’m using the same system. I keep making lists of what I need to do hoping that will help. Nope.
April 27th, 2008 at 12:37 pmI love the kids up on the table helping. So cute!
April 28th, 2008 at 12:50 amoh man, that busy–frozen and unproductive, deer in the headlights feeling…I can’t seem to be in one place long enough to get into anything…(except blogs, you’re right, “Rocks in my Dryer”!!) I know it all too well!–it’s good to know I’m not alone. Well said, Chris!
