Waiting option #1: stay busy

Alright, so I admit this isn't a long-term solution, but staying busy can really help when you are waiting.  Let's face it, when we're not busy we have time to think; and although time to think is a good thing, it isn't always welcome while you wait.

So, today I am:

• doing laundry
• prepping for a Pampered Chef show that I'm doing tonight (if I'm lucky there will be enough double chocolate mousse cups for me to have one too)
• keeping my children occupied so they will not resort to physical violence (they're 7 & 5 and summer break is going a little long)
• running to two different libraries to return items and check new ones out
• stopping at the grocery store to get the ingredients for my fruit salsa & cinnamon tortilla chips
• saying goodbye to my sis-in-law, bro-in-law & nephew before they head back to Michigan - bye Pam, Greg & Nick
• and filling the in-between time with some sort of house-cleaning related item

This is not what I do everyday while waiting.  There are other things I occupy my wait-time with, but if I were to blog it all now, what would keep you coming back?  What would keep me writing?  So today's recommendation remains, stay busy.

Just remembered the saying that "Idle hands are the devil's playground," well I've found it's more an "idle mind" that wreaks havoc with my day, but today busy hands are keeping me from a very slippery slide.
