The Importance of "Stuff"

I should have known...March is the great deceiver! The melting was just a hoax. We now have snow again!!! The upside to the snow is that it won't last long. The April sun does have some warmth to it and the white stuff is disappearing quickly. I am longing for sunny beaches and the smell of sun screen.

Today I am feeling overwhelmed by the everyday "stuff." The dishes in the sink, the neglected journal on the coffee table, and yes, even this blog with outdated info makes me squirm with guilt. The everyday stuff that at the moment of processing seems so minor in importance, but when stacked upon each other in mega mountains of mess, screams for attention!

I will get to the "stuff", as soon as I drink my coffee, take my walk, read another chapter in my book and grab a quick snooze in the sunshine...sigh! I always intend to start a load of laundry, sweep the floors or write a thank you note when I get home from work, but catching up on the latest fashions on Opera, stopping at the library or meeting a friend for coffee at the local Starbucks tends to distract me and it's bedtime before I know it! And I do love bedtime! Just kick the laundry off on the floor and it's off to dreamland.

I keep telling myself, as soon as the kids are gone (there's only two left), some of the "stuff" I have trouble getting to will go with them...but I have suspicions that I'm only fooling myself.

Well, I have a lot of "stuff" to do, so I'd better run. Hmmmm! A rice bowl from Carrs sounds really good, and then maybe a snooze while I watch Dr. Phil..., and then I PROMISE I'll take care of the "stuff"!
