E.X.H.A.U.S.T.E.D.

Tomorrow is only Wednesday??

Seriously, this week is exhausting so far! Work is crazy busy, I have so many (big) projects on my plate and issues that I'm just learning how to deal with cropping up as well. My days fly by because I barely have time to glance at the clock. (This is a good thing!)

Then add in my jewelry business - which I love - but, like anything you want to be successful at - it's work. So let me give you just a little sampling of this Marketing Manager, Jewelry Girl, Mom's life...

Yesterday - August 23, 2010
Arrive at work at 7:00 am.
Several Monday meeting right off the bat.
Order lunch in because I need the extra time at my desk.
Get call from mom (aka Monday babysitter) who tells me my 2yr son got into his diaper pail during his "nap time" and has smeared #2 all over himself and his room and most disturbing...his light colored carpet...and we don't have any carpet cleaner.
Last minute Google search: "How to get poop out of carpet."
Lovely.
Leave promptly at 4:00 pm.
Quick stop at Target for a miracle poop cleaner.
Settle on Resolve for lack of other options.
Arrive at home at about 4:45 pm.
Thankfully Mom agrees to stay later to entertain kiddos while I don yellow rubber gloves to start on poop mess...which is worse than I was imagining.
Change into sweats and said yellow gloves and get to work.
Breathe through my mouth for a good 20 minutes.
Decide part one of clean-up is done.
Part two will commence when my husband arrives home from work.
I have to get ready for a jewelry party.
I have 20 minutes.
Glam up.
High five my husband out the door while explaining mess upstairs and next steps.
Dinner must wait until I get home.
Arrive at jewelry party at 6:30 pm.
Successful party :)
Who would have known that their jewelry lady was sporting yellow gloves and scrubbing poop off the floor with a potato brush just hours earlier? ;)
(Oh yeah, have thrown away potato brush!!)
Get home at 10:00 pm.
Eat dinner. Know it's late. But am starving.
Coordinate kid's belongings for daycare tomorrow.
Go through some paperwork.
Get ready for bed.
Sleep by 11:00 pm.

WHEW.

That's all I have to say :)
