Squirrel!

Tweet

Those of you who are familiar with the movie Up! will probably recognize my reference. Dug, the helpful talking dog is easily distracted. That is a very apt metaphor for my life. I go upstairs to a wash-cloth and notice that the bathroom needs cleaning. I clean the bathroom and forget entirely why I went upstairs in the first place. Squirrel! I remember that I need to get the wash out of the washing machine. In the basement, I remember that I needed a wash-cloth to wipe up a spill. Back up the stairs I go. Squirrel! The kitchen timer goes. My house is a never-ending chore at the moment. The carpet has been removed from the Great-room in preparation for laying hardwood. Nothing is where it belongs and construction dust seems to be on everything. I start one task, only to get distracted by something else that needs to be done more desperately. I flipped open my laptop to send out reminders to my nursery volunteers for this Sunday and the topmost open tab was on MyLot. I haven’t posted anything in a few days, let me write something quickly. Squirrel! The clock is ticking and I need to be sitting behind the wheel of my car in exactly 26 minutes. Despite being easily distracted I am almost NEVER late. Life would be so much easier if I could actually DO multiple tasks at the same time and be in different places while doing so. Are you easily distracted? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrAIGLkSMls
