I am flighty

I am swamped. I should absolutely not be writing today, because I need to spring into action and start getting some stuff done.
However, I want to vent.
There's something I don't like about myself that is causing me difficult: My mind is fragmented. I forget stuff because there is too much rolling about in my head.
Case in Point-
Last night I needed to take the garbage down to the curb because the garbage collectors have been coming before 7 in the morning lately. I forgot. I woke in a panic when I heard the truck, and I missed the opportunity.
Or-
I double-book myself all the time. If I don't write stuff down, I am liable to make two plans for the same timeframe, and totally cause people annoyance. I have done this today, for instance.
The bottom line is that I am too busy.
Yes, I know that you all knew that. I know it, too. The question is WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT?
I have to say "no" more. I have to discipline myself to a schedule. I must, Must, MUST write everything down.
The reason that I don't do that more is that I want to be with people. I love my friends, and being diligent about responsibilities means that I can't play.
Plus, I think some of it is that flighty personality I am strapped with. If I could choose my personality, I'd be Choleric/ Melancholy. Then my house would be clean and I would do everything well.
As it is:
I want to go to Saver's with Jenine,
I want to go to TJMaxx and More with Patsy,
I want to go to Roaring Springs with Elke,
I want to go to Eagle Island with Kara,
I want to have you over and linger over coffee or wine...
I want, I want, I want
(Blogging is very Narcissistic.)
Anyway....
I need to clean the house and parent and homeschool and pay the bills. Where is the fun in that?
Ugh!

I always thought that paying bills was so exciting. What are you talking about them being boring?

Okay, so that was a total lie. What you need is to be a hermit. Then you'd never double-book.
