Better to Laugh

Have you ever heard someone say, “Squirrel!” when they get distracted by something?  Well, I feel like I live on a squirrel farm.  In particiluar, the squirrels are running wild when I am on the computer.

Take last Saturday morning, for example.  I sat down at the computer to get the amount of my son’s tuition payment.  I got side tracked and completed about five other things that I had wanted to get done the previous week.  I got off of the computer and remembered I had not completed the one task I had signed on to do.  Not only that, I was going to run late getting to the bank.  I did manage to get a lot done after I left home.  Upon my return around 3 p.m., I told my sweet husband, who worked from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., about all the errands that I had completed while out and about.  He said, “Wow, you got a lot done today!”  I am glad he did not see the list of things I had intended on getting completed!

This morning is following the same pattern.  I have my list of things I want to get done, but the squirrels are loose.  It is already 11:30 a.m., and there is not one thing checked off of my “to do” list.  Wait, I did get one thing done; I got my login working on the computer again after a virus had it hijacked.  Maybe if I had skipped that, I would have more checked off of my list!
