4 kids, various pets. I like to run, hike, ski, random road trips, take tons of pictures with my Nikon D40 in hopes that a couple turn out, and any new activity with calculated risks. I'm in school and at some point plan on having a medical based major. I love music.

I need to stop multi tasking

I would like to think I will write in this thing once in a while. I have notes running through my head all day. I saw an elderly man riding a BMX bike the other day. I nearly lost control of the car trying to get to my camera phone. I missed the opportunity to get the shot of this guy but I had a full story that would have gone with the picture.
When I run, I listen to my iPod. I make music videos in my head and sometimes have to re-play the song once I figure out the whole set-up. This is probably why I am able to run long distances. My problem now is many things.

1. I am a lazy writer. I'd rather talk
2. I'm horrible at typing
3. I procrastinate
4. I'm sure there is some other reason

Today I am trying to write in all my dates on our calender. The calender has always been my diary, I save them every year so the kids can look back and see that they were never as bored as they remember they were. I got out 2 old calenders to copy dates off of and our school calender, so I can write in school holidays and such. My first problem occurred after realizing I'd grabbed 2004's calender and that was the year I had Kaevin. I started looking at my Ob. appointments and the day I "felt the baby kick!". Awww, that's cute. I didn't even know he was a boy yet. Then Avery's 3rd Birthday party, Quade learning how to read fluently...etc. Then I hear a car in the driveway and see that it is Quade's classmate, Sarah. Oh, yeah! Girl scout cookies. I disregard the fact that the Eugene marathon is in less that four months and order five boxes. I talk a bit with her Mom and when she leaves I remember that I really wanted to clean off the dining room table. I have to pull out the vacuum for this ( dried play dough nuggets everywhere). Somehow I end up vacuuming the kitchen, dining room and then start on the living room when I see the calenders. Oh, right, that's what I was doing. So I finish vacuuming and then realize I never wiped off the table, which was the point of getting the vacuum out in the first place. So I wipe off the play dough free table and decide to start my blog page, only to be reminded a paragraph back that the calenders were still on the couch because Kaevin found them. Now I'm thinking I'll do them tonight when everyone is in bed. I think the new season of "24" starts tonight.


Webster here is my lifelong friend.
