When I'm locked into laundry, housework, care for the dog, planning extracurricular activities that won't make the kid's drive me crazy, planning supper, handling the other 5,000 details that DH requests of me, and on top of that, editing and working on my photography business ... See. I was so distracted thinking I had missed something that I forgot the whole point of the sentence!
At my house in BFE, not a single provider will bring the World Wide Web to my doorstep. Not one. We are, as AT&T put it, unable to be found. How odd: they provide 4G service to our iPhones without complication and always seem to find a way to bill us.
If I had the Internet on anything other than my phone, I may actually be able to get a few things accomplished. As it is, I have to do everything I can in one location, then load everything up and drive for miles to get to a family member's house and mooch off her WiFi.
So laundry, housework, dog, etc., etc., all comes to a screeching slam-on-the-breaks-help-me-jeezus stop.
And then I look up and realize I have twenty minutes to head 22 miles into town, get in and our of hell (ahem, Walmart) and get the boys by 3.
And mid-drive, I realize I forgot a package I've been meaning to mail off for nearly a week.
Happy, happy, happy I am not.
What's even more annoying is that I hate rushing around and I LOATHE waiting on people. So why is it I am always running out of time, why is it that I am always making people wait?
It's been said that your biggest pet peeves are likely things that you are guilty of doing yourself.
If this is the case, I now value all of my friends a hell of a lot more.
