I have way to many things going on in my life and sometimes I try to do too many things at once and end up paying for it dearly. Jake and I often talk about how different our minds work and how we accomplish things in such a different way. Jake, for example, likes to take one thing on at a time. If he is watching the kids, he is only watching the kids. If Mason is hungry, he feeds him. If Tylie's room is a mess, he helps her clean it up. If I am watching the kids, I am also cleaning the house, emailing clients, paying bills, and brushing my teeth all at the same time. If mason is hungry, I put him in his high chair, grab his rice out of the cupboard along with a box of cereal for tylie (why waste a good trip to the pantry when I know that tylie will want cereal in about 5 minutes), grab 2 bowls, 2 spoons, and a sippy cup. By the time I get to my island I look like Rachel Ray does everytime she leaves her fridge. I am juggling something on every finger and balancing a gallon of milk on my pinky toe. I throw Mason's cereal in the microwave and realize that I have 10 seconds of time. What will I do with 10 seconds? I don't want to waste it just standing here waiting for this stupid machine to beep at me. Oh Yeah! I have to run to the bathroom- I haven't peed yet today. I knew there was something I was missing! OK, I am exaggerating but you get what I am saying. I hate to see one second of time wasted when there is so much to get done. This mentality has served me well throughout my life but sometimes it can get me in trouble. Today was one of those times.

I had to go to a training at my work this morning. Melissa, my friend at work, had reminded my several times that I had this training but with all the crap that is stuff in my brain, some things tend to get pushed out. Although she probably told my 6 times last week, I still forgot and showed up at my office expecting work as usual. When I casually waltzed in and sat at my desk, she calmly asked me if I was still going to the training. As my mind quickly sorted through the work file locating what I was supposed to remember my face went blank. Then I blurted out that I of course remembered and would be heading out in just a minute. She knew dang well that I forgot but hid it pretty well from my manager. I got to the training and all went well. I was able to see some of my old coworkers that I have not seen since I got back from Cali and it is always fun to catch up. As fun as it is though, it is really hard to sit stationary in a room for 4 hours when I could think of a million things I could do with 4 hours. When I finally got out of there, I grabbed my phone, checked my text messages and saw that Jake had text me worried because we were out of food for Mason. I was walking out with my friend chatting with her about how good it was too see her all while texting Jake back that I would pick up some food before I came home when out of the blue... W H A M!!! I ran full force into a glass door! I don't think I explained it right. Maybe I should use words like pummeled, slammed, exploded, tackled the glass door. I did not see this thing coming and it got the full force of whatever momentum I had going for me. This is something you would only see on YouTube folks! I am sure that if my work had any sort of security camera set up, I will be all over the internet tomorrow. Although this was completely embarassing, it was hilarious. How did I not see this thing coming? What kind of glass cleaner do these cleaners use? I gathered myself together, picked up my phone, laughed with my friend, and assured that secretary at the front desk that I would not be submitting any type of workers compensation claim for the incident. I guess I am just not the kind of person that can walk, talk, and text at the same time. That or my work has found some amazing cleaning people. I think I will go with a little of both!
