Day 1 of a three day weekend has been very busy!  An amazing thing happened today, we worked hard all day and got absolutely nothing done. 

Then suddenly this evening, hubby, now armed with a Paint Sprayer (thanks Dad!) has been able to paint most of the house … in the dark, mind you, but still!! He spent the entire day painting by hand and had only been able to do the garage (with the help of 4 boys) and half of the front of our house.

I spent the entire day over at my parents’ house with the twins … working on my computer and a few designs.  Hubby and I had gone to the store last night and picked up a few “necessities” … for us anyway!  A major hard drive and a battery backup that monitors and adjusts the incoming voltage for our computers and supplies!  So I was trying to get all of that setup.

The entire day I tried to get my computer downloaded onto the hard drive and accomplished NOTHING!  I did a little work on my computer, transferred it to one of my brothers’ memory sticks and moved it onto another computer to put it online.  It was a major workout with little to show for it LOL! 

Then I got home and suddenly I was accomplishing tons.  I was able to get contents downloading as I did housework.  I’d return to my room to continue the process and move on to another project around the house.  It was incredible. 

So now that I have a chance to sit back and breathe for the first time today I’m realizing that basically hubby and I spent the entire day (from 9:30am until 6:00pm) working hard but getting nothing accomplished.  We didn’t have the right tools to do the job efficiently.  Once we did … LOOK OUT!

I wish I could see this in other areas too!  I talked the other day about my love of lists, but I equally love the idea of being organized – if I could actually GET organized that would be lovely!  Here’s another great result of organization … efficiency!  Getting something done quickly, easily and a job well done!  I love that feeling! 

I just hope that the inability to be productive will not follow us for the rest of the weekend!
