<p>I spent a good part of yesterday evening getting organized so that I can finally stop <a href="http://diary.blogs.com/the_diary_of_a_reluctant_/2007/10/inertia.html">wasting so much time</a>.</p>

<p>I woke up at 6:30, showered and was ready to go <em>before the kids were awake</em>.&#0160; This has never happened before, but I was a woman on a mission.&#0160; Today, I was going to Get Things Done.</p>

<p>And!&#0160; Today is babysitter day, so I was going to have a fabulous morning of productivity.</p>

<p>
I scheduled my first exercise class in a long, long time so I arranged my morning around it (because health comes first!)&#0160; My plan was this:</p>

<p>9:00 AM - 10:00 Breakfast and reading at the coffee shop.&#0160; <br />10:15 - 11:15 Pilates.&#0160; <br />11:30-12:00 Shopping for a baby shower my playgroup is throwing this weekend.&#0160; <br />12:00 - 12:30 Quick grocery run.</p>

<p>Instead, this is what happened:</p>

<p>8:45 AM Grab keys to head out the door.<br />8:46 AM <em>Where are my keys?</em><br />9:00 AM&#0160; <em>Seriously, where are my keys?</em><br />9:15 AM (email husband who is all the way in San Francisco) &quot;Check your pockets - do you have my keys?&quot;<br />9:30 AM&#0160; Think to check safe for a spare set of keys.&#0160; Forget combination.&#0160; Get self locked out of safe for two hours.<br />9:45 AM<em>&#0160;</em>(email husband) &quot;OMG WE&#39;RE STRANDED!&#0160; SEND HELP!&quot;<br />9:46 - 10:30 Turn entire house upside down while sitter, toddler and self look for keys.<br />10:31 AM Find keys in pocket of jacket left in the dirty clothes pile (also known as Mt. Rush-no-more)</p>

<p>I have two hours of sitting left and I&#39;m about to run out the door like a madwoman, trying to get everything done at the last minute.&#0160; In other words, it&#39;s business as usual around here.&#0160; Maybe I should stop trying to fight the damn universe.</p>

<p>Mostly, I&#39;m pissed that was up at 6:30 AM for nothing.&#0160; </p>
