organized chaos

This is me on Mondays. Me and the Tasmanian Devil have more in common than I formerly thought.

Mondays are pretty much a hassle around here. For some reason I feel I need to do everything left over from the weekend in 3.7 seconds as soon as I get up. Forget about stretching it out over the day. I even made a nifty list to limit myself from getting too crazy and even set a timer to keep myself accountable to the fact that I have children who may or may not want me to set aside the mountain of chores to attend to their lunch.

So I set that danged timer for the allotted 15 minutes, and wouldn’t you know, true to my spasmodic nature, I plowed through almost every room of the downstairs like good ol’ Taz, apparently trying to accomplish 3 days worth of stuff.

What’s wrong with that? Have you ever seen Tasmanian Devil in action? Here’s what we have in common:

1. We move at dizzying speeds.

2. We plow over nice people in our way.

3. We can’t concentrate on anything longer than 3.7 seconds due to our ADD nature.

4. Our facial features display a certain look, when in Taz mode, that might scare young children.

5. We drool and froth when we get worked up.

6. We are both constantly hungry and devour everything.

7. We both possess an inability to frame complete sentences at times.

I really need to get a hold on this. For crying out loud there has to be some balance!
