Multi Tasker.

Yesterday, one of my personal goals was to find a way to get stuff done in my free time. One of my big chunks of free time is my lunch hour. Right now, half of that hour consists of me pumping and running milk to Lily. But the other half is free and clear! (Eat during lunch hour? Who has ever heard of such ridiculousness?)

Here is my list of "Work I Can Do During Lunch":
Wash bottles (bring them to work and wash them in the kitchen)
Fold laundry (bring the basket and hangers...sit in my car and fold them)
Pay Bills. But I already do that.
Clean the car. (put the bucket of cleaners in the trunk and wash it behind the building)
Filing. (We have a basket full of all paid bills, correspondence, etc. I can bring it to work and organize it? By the way, the basket is the size of a laundry basket.)

Now, when I presented this brilliant list to my husband last night, do you know what he said?

"But why don't you take that time for yourself????"

Excuse me...but, WHAT?
So, let me clarify...you want me to take a FULL half hour for ME and me alone? Wow...you have to be kidding me! Thank you, Honey! Thank you so much for giving me the insight to actually spend thirty precious minutes on myself! Maybe I'll go pee pee BY MYSELF! Or file my nails. Or breathe? How about that?

Hee hee. Husbands are funny.

This entertaining conversation prompted me to make another list:
The Top Five Things I Would Do If I Actually DID Spend My Lunch Hour On Myself:

5. Get on ABC.com and watch re-runs of "Pushing Daisies". (Let me also say that if you're reading this and you do NOT watch this show? You're just plain stupid. Best show ever.)
4. Sleep.
3. Do Yoga...go walk or dance by myself, with my rio and headphones, in the bathroom.
2. Walk around Target. Alone. Slowly.

And the number one?
1. Go to the daycare and hold Lily and rock her and talk to her and sing to her.

Wait...I actually do that. Then I don't need anything else. Thank you very much.

(EDIT: Later that night, I told Billy we needed things from Walmart. He suggested I go alone so that I could "have time to myself". Yep. That's good ME time: shopping for diapers and deodorant.)
