Concentrate already!

My brain is so scattered.  I walk upstairs with the intent on uploading pictures, or was it blogging, or was it working on the bumper pad I'm making?  I decide to walk over the scraps of fabric and upload pictures.  While they are uploading, I log into Shutterfly to see my progress on a photo book I'm making.  I also sign in to Facebook, Hotmail and Blogger.  Each time I sign in, I flip to another tab while that one is loading or refreshing.  I then remember that I still have a tab open with the rest of the latest episode from Flash Foward (which I was watching earlier because I missed it on Thursday).  I watch the last three minutes, and then go back to all the other open tabs.  Then I remember the pictures, and decide to organize them.  After I name all of them and put the videos in the right place, I think again about buying a video editing program so that I can make a home video of all the little videos I've taken.  I then think about our poor video camera that no longer works, and I wonder if that would be a good gift idea.  I am about to go to Amazon.com, and then remember about blogging.  And then I remember that I have not finished organizing the pictures.  I always put copies of the best ones in a "best of" folder.  After this I plan to blog - if I can think of anything to write.  Then I remember it is the end of the month, and I should check my bank - no make that banks because we have two now.  I really need to get online access to the second.  I need to finish the budget, and start the next one.  Oh, and it is the end of October, and I don't have Halloween candy. 

Okay, make a list - from my stream of thought...

...or watch a movie. 


When I started this post, I figured all I would have to write about would be how Nathan fought the bottle for a half an hour.  I finally gave in and he fell asleep.  Hmm, that would have been only two sentences.  Oh, and the dinner I made was expensive and exotic, and a flop.

Here's the picture I wanted to show you.  Nathan sat by himself today!  And he only fell over and hit his head on the entertainment center once!

I get the feeling I wrote this blog post out of order, like the ending was first.  But since that is how my brain is working, I'll leave it like that.
