Routine Pondering

OK, maybe someone can explain to me why I have such a rebellion to routine. I have my things I have to do in the morning… floss and brush teeth, make coffee, feed chickens, drink coffee, eat breakfast, do dishes, watch Ellen…some simultaneously…but then it falls apart. I was hoping to start doing regular blogging, then maybe reading – 30 minutes educational, 30 minutes for fun (a guideline my 9 year old nephew had last summer and one I think we should all have) then a little house cleaning. But things get in the way, I guess. I’m not as free as I think. Email and Internet really throw things off, then there’s the occasional assignment I’ve given myself, or proposal that I have to work on and if I have to leave the house it’s all over! I guess I’m not so disorganized, now that I write this. No one can have their day scheduled so completely that there is no wiggle room. Maybe I’m (gasp!) normal in my not wanting to have such a rigorous schedule. Some of my best thinking and ideas come from times I’m in between tasks…I guess daydreaming would be the word for it. I have my to-do list from Monday that still isn’t finished, but there are only 2 more things to be done, both of which require tape, and going to the store to buy tape was not one of them so I have to add it to my list in order to complete my list…and so that’s what happens.

OK so we all go through this, right? I guess I’m at a point in my life where I can sit and think about it, and ponder it, and learn from it. And that’s just the way it is, so now I can think about something else!
