Current Mood: Violent

Let’s see….what am I not tackling today!  It’s one of those days in the Eastowner house that just doesn’t have enough hours in the day.  So far this morning I’ve tackled the sleepless Clare by argueing her back to bed at 5:30am, because she wanted to sleep with us.  We have NEVER allowed her to sleep with us in the middle of the night.  If it’s between the hours of 7pm and 7am then she is to be in her room….but somehow she has this idea that she needs to sleep with us.  I feel like I’m back to basics with a toddler sometimes when in reality she’s 5, and knows the rules.  I couldn’t get back to sleep, so I got up at a very unlikable hour of 6am, showered, started laundry - folded 2 loads, took Brad to work, and have already run 2 loads of laundry and it’s only 10am!  Dinner is simmering in the crock pot, and in a few moments we will be out the door to have my car looked at.  I don’t know if you remember last Spring when some crazy, non-paying attention woman ran into my car in a snow storm while I was on my way to take Clare to Preschool.  Well I had to have the rear panel and door redone on my car.  Now suddenly the door isn’t ligning up and even though it’s shut as hard as my body can slam it shut….the car still thinks it’s open.  So I’ll be driving down the road and all of a sudden the dome light will come on.  I’m worried that one day I’m going to forget to put my foot against the door when I push my key fob, and I’ll come out to a dead battery.  I’ll be sure to let you know the outcome of that.  Let’s see…oh yes, so Clare has school, then after school it’s onto pick up Brad, scarf dinner, and go to my Market Training for my new in-home party business.  I’m kind of excited to go, as I think it’ll help me get motivated to get more parties booked.  I’m just hoping that it doesn’t get the feeling of “just one more thing to do today” from me before I have a mental breakdown because something else gets added to my plate unexpectedly.  What are you tackling today?  To see what others are doing head on over to 5 Minutes For Mom and check it out!
