How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

I was getting ready for the day the other day and it occurred to me that because I have nowhere to go I have all the time in the world to finish up. It took about 40 minutes from start to finish. I listened to music, went in and out of the bathroom and basically faffed around until I was ready. Ready for grocery shopping but that's neither here nor there.

Yesterday I performed an experiment. I went from bed to makeupped and ready as if I was late for something. Why? I said it before and I'll say it again: I think I may be clinically depressed. No reason, that's why. My alarm clock went off and I was showered and completely ready in 15 minutes. See what happens when you have no hair to fix? I suggest this haircut to anyone. So what did I do when I was finished getting ready as if I was in flames? I baked a cake and did 3 loads of sheets. Oooh, yeah, I'm a rebel, yo.

How can I be Black and still not get away with that "yo"? Too old?

Yikes!

Okay, I'm completely ill prepared for a blog today. I usually write them in bulk on the weekend then "post-date" them to come out all week. Unfortunately it was so crazy last weekend, my math was off. I only wrote four blogs so I'm writing this in the morning for the first time since before I had a job. So please excuse the obvious suckiness.

Here is what needs to get done that I'm shirking because of this:

• shower and get myself ready first
• wake up Audrey and Elliott
• make sure they have breakfast and all their school stuff like musical instruments and lunches
• fix Audrey's hair... it takes at least 10 minutes
• push the older ones out the door at 7:15
• wake up Henry and Scott
• make sure they have breakfast and all their school/work stuff like instruments and, I dunno, quarterly reports or whatever
• have my own breakfast and brew a travel cup of tea that I'll drink at my desk at work
• say goodbye to Scott who takes the bus to work
• take Henry across the street to the neighbours who watch him for 45 minutes
• drive in stop-and-go traffic to work. The 15 minute drive takes half an hour

So yeah... I have lots of time for this... gotta go.
