Did you ever have one of those days?

My husband went to work today and I figured I would get so much done. At least my mind was planning on it. I want to clean the house as I don't like doing it when he is home. I like to go at my own pace and not have to stop and talk. So far, I only got half of the house done as I keep stopping to look at things or rearrange things. Hopefully I will get done before he returns. If not, no big deal I guess as there is always tomorrow.

I like to be alone in the apartment when I clean. I can get it done so much faster.

Me to but for some reason today I keep getting side tracked. I am not alone that often and I am going from one thing to another.

@ramapo17 Sometimes I do the same thing, just can't get on the right track.

I like to get work done when no one else is around as well. It makes it much easier, and like you said, there's no reason to stop and chat. I also like to play music or let a t.v. show play in the background. It makes the work go by that much faster. I hope you do get the work done tonight so that tomorrow you can rest.

I had the tv on all day with the Nascar race and I had to keep stopping to watch it. All my favorite drivers were winning.

@ramapo17 I haven't watched Nascar in many many years. It can be very addicting to watch.

@ScribbledAdNauseum We we're very involved in it before moving to Florida. We use to live in the Poconos and did volunteer work at the track We met so many great people there including some drivers

I always have lots of plans in my head but couldn't seem to do it. So I would right those plans down and make sure I do them.

@ramapo17 I make sure I do because I only make shorts lists and only for a day.

@toniganzon That is a smart way to do it. At least when you finish what you put on the list you must feel like you accomplished everything.

I am a great one for making lists but usually don't make it through the whole list.

@Courtlynn Thank you very much. It is really so weird as I will be 76 but I still feel like a lot younger and especially after talking to my friend last night. We were laughing and silly just like when we were in school.

I usually make a list, but there are days when I get so side tracked attending to things not on the list I hardly accomplish anything on that list. Other times I just am not into doing chores

No I didn't and it really didn't bother me. My house is always clean, just sometimes I want to get into deep cleaning so if I don't get to it, it will be there the next day.

@ramapo17 I know sometimes it gets to a point where you just want to clean everything

@ramapo17 I never get everything done that I planned to do. I was going to go to Trader Joe's tonight, but softball got in the way.

I have my own jobs of cleaning to take care of, such as mopping and mowing. I need to do both tomorrow before my ping pong games.

Do you play ping pong every week. Growing up we had a ping pong table and a pool table in the basement. We would have games every night after dinner.

There's always something to distract us from doing what we intend.

I would rather clean when no one is around as well but it wasn't a problem with just my husband and I here. Now that we have two more in the house, its a little more challenging to get things done and keep it clean

I usually get it done in one day but this time I kept getting side tracked and was going through things I haven't looked at in awhile.

Hi Nancy. Yes, I do. I usually procrastinate after doing some of the work and I need to in full mood to finish the things I need to do.
