Finally Found The Source Of The Problem

So, tonight after the big game (GEAUX TIGERS), I soaked in my nightly bath & went to bed. I knew I couldn't sleep, so I watched 2 episodes of a show I had recorded & then turned out the light. Well, I just tossed & turned for a while. So, I decided to put my insomnia to good use. I was gonna clean the kitchen!

So, I got to it! We had cleaned up after dinner, but our nightly drink glasses & the kids' cups were in the sink. And the bar was its usually junk pile, so there was definitely work to do. I started cleaning the bar & found a few things that should go on the sewing table. So, I gathered it all up & went over to the sewing table.

Well, wouldn't you know...the sewing table was a freakin' mess. So, I started straightening it. Wait, what's that? A train? Well, that goes in Emmit's room.

I walk through the living room towards Emmit's room & see a few other things that belong in there. I pick those up & turn on his light. Holy messy room, batman! So, I deposit the train & few things where they belong and get to picking up Mr. Potato Head...for the hundredth time today. I get his room almost clean & I spot a sippy cup under the edge of the bed. Well, that goes in the kitchen!

Off to the kitchen where my sink of hot soapy water was sitting. Wash the dishes. Start cleaning the counters. Find scissors...back to sewing table. Back to kitchen...find more trains. Back to Emmit's room.

AHHH! All this time I've been blaming the kids. Can we say 'adult ADD'?

Now...what am I doing up?

I thought I was dreaming this morning when I saw the bar was spotless...other than mis-directed piece of mail.
