There was a conversation at breakfast that went something like this:
Me: I have so much to do, and papers everywhere, and freakin sticky notes. I keep forgetting things and losing things, do you know I lost that bloody green zip twice yesterday, I have to finish of that creative card, and then I better start that embroidery. I wonder if it will be too hot to wear boots tomorrow? cause I want to bind that skirt so I can wear it to Ballan. I guess I could wear it with leggings if its too hot for boots, but then I have to fudge around with my leggings and knickers all day…hmmm (pause to think about knicker fudging for a moment)
Mr Ric rac: It will be warmish tomorrow.
Me: Too warm for boots? What do you want for dinner? Are we going to dog park tonight ? I’d like to do that vege thingo with the besan flour but it might be tricky – Oh I was going to make lemon butter today too. I must pack all that class stuff tonight, I wonder when my felt order will come? ooh I got my badge stuff yesterday I thought I might make some badges for the kids for the class tomorrow or take the badge machine with me so they can do it themselves.. what do you think ?
Mr Ric rac: That’s a good idea.
Me : Man I have a lot to do, I think my brain might explode…maybe I just need to finish off a few things, there’s just so much stuff everywhere. I’ll might have to write a new list.
Mr Ric-Rac: Maybe you shouldn’t do so many things at once.
Okay……………………..Or maybe I should just buy some more containers.
Ha Ha, new containers always fix everything....for a little while
ReplyDeletehahaha - can so relate. I'm not sure the plastic containers are going to fix everything, but I recently purchased myself some document wallets. I scribble on the outside with texta what is in there and now at least some of the paper is under control. I'm thinking I should have got ones with stretchy sides though.
ReplyDeletehahah! so funny...and why are men always so relaxed,, i suppose they dont often do many things at once. its stinking hot here still, and my kimberley books PROMISED by April it wouldnt be. ;(
ReplyDeleteYeah, those containers are addictive. We all think if we buy enough containers our sewing rooms will be tidy and we will be able to find things and finish them.
ReplyDeleteToo bad it ain't true. (big sigh) ;p
You're hysterical!!......as I look at my stack of tubs in 3 different sizes, document wallets and post it notes to get us organised over the holidays!
ReplyDeleteP.S Yay to Mr Rac for his calming factor!
Laughing loudly!
ReplyDeleteah this sounds normal in my home.
Good luck with your list. Containers do make us feel organised :p
It's just like that episode of Love My Way when Charlie and Julia are walking around Ikea. If you just have more storage, it totally fixes EVERYTHING in life!
ReplyDeleteWhat you need is Hermione Granger's Time-Turner. And if they are buy one get one free can you sort one for me to please xx Jayne
ReplyDeleteOooh, I forgot that your class is tomorrow...I'll be there all day so I'll see you then....and don't worry about the boots, we'll just put the aircon on...!!!

ReplyDeletePoor MrRicRac!
ReplyDeleteLiving with a Creative person isn't easy (ask my mother) and you are Rockstar too!
More storage is always the answer.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! That could so be a conversation between my hubby and me!
ReplyDeleteEvery now and then he looks at me and asks "How did you get from 'that' to 'that' in one thought?" LOLOLOLOL!
Oh, yes - I'm with you. More storage solves most things!
ReplyDeleteGood luck - have a great day
ReplyDeleteHehe. A man of so few words...most men are like that I suppose. They are only able to process one item at a time, I believe. One can never have too much storage! Good luck with the boots!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like the endless reel in my head....every now and again some of it escapes....and every one around me looks puzzled!
ReplyDeleteYep. Yep. Yep.
ReplyDelete..and ditto.
Got to love a man of few words....vbg. Hope your holidays end up sorting themselves out and you have fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Mr. Ric rac answers you? You have a gem there. I just get a non commital grunt from the other side of the room and occaisonally when it leads to thin ice 'I have no opinion in this matter'! GAH!!
ReplyDeleteOh Jodie don't explode please!!! Take time to breath every now and then! Lucy xx
ReplyDeleteYou are living inside my head! :-)
ReplyDeleteAt least he responded with an appropriate remark and not just a "What did you say, dear?"
ReplyDeleteMen are sooo not multitaskers...
Totally understand new storage, can work wonders. Glad to hear that those conversations aren't limited to me and my mr :-)
ReplyDeleteToo funny
ReplyDeletewell! this has had me chuckling to myself, I feel you have been peeking into my head, my hubby reacts in the same way as well, it's nice to know we are not on our own!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell at least it appears he's actually listening to you, and not just saying "yes dear, no dear". He obviously knows better than that!
ReplyDeleteOh and yes, boxes definitely help.
I keep redoing my lists in hopes there will be less on the new list. HA! I'm living in a dream world! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love butterfly minds - makes me think I'm not so abnormal!
ReplyDeletehad to laugh - but you still find time for blogging. My blog is a very sad and rejected thing at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI see you married a very complimentary personality too. I'm positive i say 100 words to my husband's ONE!! He ends most sentances with "maybe you shouldn't do so much" & i am so tame to never ever say "maybe you should come home, live in the same state/ country as us". Deep breaths. Enjoy your holidays, we still have a week AFTER Easter, so dumb, can't tell you, love Posie
ReplyDeleteOH my LOL.. just read this post and the last line, THAT IS ME.. just buy me some more containers and I'll be fine... LOL I am not alone!
ReplyDeleteI need my fingers AND toes to count mine!
just keep swimming, swimming... :)
