What I could (should?) have done today:
1)Edited my rough draft
2)Started on another paper
3)Gone to the courthouse to do research for another paper
4)Drafted an amendment to a motion I brought last Monday
5)Made about 1000 phone calls for my clinic case
6)Drafted one of the three memos that are overdue on my clinic case
7)Drafted a letter requesting the school records of my clinic clients
What I actually did today:
1)Spent an hour watching the Today show and reading online BB's
2)Cleaned house--it really needed it.
3)Went to Home Depot for ant killer because ants have found their way into my kitchen, presumably due to my less than spectacular housekeeping of late, and the awesome amounts of food my kids manage to drop in the floor.
4)Went to the bank
5)Went to the grocery store--again really needed. The kids are thrilled to have food in the house again
6)Watched a Gilmore Girls episode while checking my email
7)Picked the rugrats up from school
8)Took them to the pumpkin patch and bought each a pumpkin. Does anybody have real pumpkin patches where the pumpkins are actually growing in a field? Around here is pumpkin patch is just a bunch of pre-harvested pumpkins dumped in a field.
9)Went to Target to buy a carving kit and bought a 6 bags of chocolate (I refuse to be the house that hands out Smarties and DumDums.) We also bought Monster House to watch while we carve our pumpkins.
10)Came home, told the kids they had to clean their rooms before the pumpkin carving could commence, and hopped online for a few minutes of peace and quiet.
So I did not get anything school related done, but my household chores had been neglected for quite a while, and I am looking forward to family time tonight while we carve pumpkins. Then the rest of the weekend will be devoted to those tasks I neglected today.
