I should never ever pat myself on the back or announce publicly that I'm doing well with something because it is highly likely to bite me in the buttocks and make me feel like a fool.
I thought I was in good form for all I had to do today thanks to the previous days' preparations, but due to some unforeseen time losses, I ended up not finishing the last 5 pages of my book club book, which were of course KEY to the discussion. Good Hell! 5 pages, surely I could have finished those 5 pages, but guess what...I couldn't.
Also not good at this moment, I'm only 1/2 way packed with my tiny carry-on suitcase (greedy airlines, how can they charge us to take luggage?) and have a mess to clean up after hosting book club. It's 12:42am, and we need to be out of the house by 8:45am. It's a good thing I'm blogging.
Comment Window Tidbit: I did a lot of sweating today.

Packing for a trip and returning home to all the laundry and things to be done is the worst part . . . but you will enjoy the trip in between!
you are loved-
:)
Oh dear. You really should have let us clean up for you! And I think you should have sneaked out for a few minutes to finish the last 5 pages.
I got a kick out of this post, but I still think you did very well with your time management - as much of it as was in your control, anyway!
Why were you still up at 12:42 this morning?! Why didn't you let us help clean up?!! I'm so sorry you have gotten behind! But so grateful that you would host book club- it was a great night. I love sitting in your home and felt truly welcome- there was no pressure or rush because you had gotten behind schedule. Although I should have clued in when you still had 5 pages to read and when you mentioned your were only half packed- but I didn't. I was selfishly enjoying your warm hospitality. Now I'm praying that you got off okay this morning and that you might get a nap on your flight. Happy travels Jill. Thanks for being such a generous host!
I hope you are off enjoying your trip by now! This post just makes me like you more--you are human! It's almost 11:00 am and I am in pajamas reading blogs with a big bag of Skittles and a Diet Coke. None of my kids have had baths yet. Sometimes that's just how it goes! At least you paid the piper the last few days.
OH I am cracking up..I just read your last post and this one :) isn't that just the way it is...right about the time you think have something all worked out and are reaady to pat yourself on the back, thats the exact moment it all falls apart!!!
and crash and burn...
O Fortuna
velut luna
statu variabilis!
