multitasking.

Multitasking is something I do.  It is what a lot of people do.  But honestly, we all suck at it. 

This summer, multitasking took a back seat to real life.  And real stuff.  But now with the start of school (a week ago), I have begun to multitask all day long.  And screw a lot of stuff up on a daily basis. 

My multitasking kind of morning start (6:30am - 7:00am):

check email (mainly school messages)

boil eggs

clean the smallest bathroom

start a load of pink hued clothing -- because we have a lot of PINK

listen for the littlest little

hold the middle little

pack oldest little's lunch

* email (nothing from school or teacher but got sidetracked with Pottery Barn Kids Gear Sale)

* eggs are boiled (for longer than 10 minutes... and harder than shit to remove from their shells)

* smallest bathroom (reloaded the toilet paper)

* washer loaded and started (forgot several articles of clothing since they were strewn from one end of the house to the other)

* littlest little still sleeping (as far as I know)

* middle little in a puddled heap on the floor next to me

* oldest little got a smorgasbord of leftover crap to eat for lunch

So, multitasking -- it works, just not very well for me!
