Spinning brain #SOLC19

It's Saturday.  Time for the Spinning Brain Extravaganza!  On Saturdays, I linger in bed for awhile.  Then I make breakfast and brew coffee while my husband is at his weekly workout.  Laundry is washed, dishes are cleaned and I finally get around to taking a shower.

Then I become frazzled.

Faced with a day of no plans (usually), I have no idea what to do first.

Should we run errands?  Go shopping?  Figure out our taxes?
I need to order books.  Let's not forget the wedding gift.  Did you get the washer to work?

If my husband turns on a home improvement show, the spinning gets worse.

Did you see that cool front porch on Property Brothers?  Maybe we can build that one day.  Did you get the name of the guy who painted the neighbor's house?  Should we replace the windows first?

It doesn't help that we've done lots of construction on our home over the years.  I miss the drywall dust and fresh paint smells.

Saturdays are Spinning Brain days.

  1. Can so totally relate! Usually I go visit my mom on Sundays, but today the roads are really bad, and I'm not going to make the trip. So I'm sitting here, thinking of all of the nine jillion things- housework, laundry, schoolwork, lesson plans, and my mind is going in a million directions, and I'm afraid I will get nothing done. How I wish I was one of those calm, organized, list-making kind of gals.
