Puzzle

Ever wonder where your day goes?  I love the scene from "About a boy", where the jobless bachelor Huge Grant breaks-down his day into various activities and then he wonders how normal people fit a job into their lives.  Most days it is struggle to get everything in.  I was so excited to have a day with nothing on the schedule.  I was going to get so much done, including cleaning the house.  I cleaned the bathroom and I seemed ahead of schedule.  Then we went out to the garage and I worked on a project.  Then we went on a bike ride and to the park.  Then we ate a late lunch.  Then we took some pictures.  Then Grandma called and said she was almost here.  And then Sara called to say she was coming home early.  Somehow I had neglected the rest of the house, it was a disaster.  There was paper all over the floor and furniture thrown about from the photo-shoot. None of dishes had been washed.  The floor still needed to be vacuumed.  Breakfast and lunch was still on the table.  Maggie's toys were everywhere.  I was sweating bullets for the next twenty minutes.  Who knew I could move so fast.  Okay, the dishes didn't get cleaned but the house looked nothing like it did twenty minutes prior.  Whew!  Anyway, I threw Maggie in some old mismatched clothes because we were going to the garage but later we ended up taking a slew of pictures... and I was thinking about the lighting and everything else but FORGOT she was in this awful outfit.  Anyway, she currently doesn't care what I dress her in, besides she was too busy with her puzzle  and barely noticed the camera.  Moments later, it would be one more thing I would be scrambling to pick up.  Of course, Maggie's outfit was the first thing Sara noticed when she walked through the door... and that was a good thing!
