I Hate Paper!

I remember about 10 years ago I heard that we would be a paperless society, I think not! I hate paperwork and mail, I am so overwhelmed by the paper in my life I want to scream! I came up to my home office to do a little paperwork before dinner and kid's activities but instead I read and replied to emails. I logged on to Facebook and played there for a few minutes, I read friends and family blogs (no updates by the way)because I just can't get motivated to get started. I still have unopened mail from when we returned from vacation mid-July and of course all the mail since. Sometimes I hide the mail box key just so the kids won't go get the day's mail to add to the piles spilling from the kitchen counter, every surface in my home office and on the floor of the office. I have a few organized piles such as mail to recycle, to shred, to read, bills to pay, paperwork and forms to fill out, filing and bank and investments statements to reconcile to name just a few of the piles. I have to step over the piles to get to my computer and usually have to restack a few piles about to fall onto my keyboard before I can waste time on the Internet. I have 4 children that don't even live at home but I get important mail for them I have to sort and mail to each of them (Adrienne the least of the four adult children). I receive all my father-in-law's mail so I have his piles to act on or get to him. This week has been a bad week for forms due to the start of school, sports and several new doctors this week for myself and Victoria. Okay I have vented now a little and wasted enough time it's now time to pick up Victoria from soccer, make dinner then of course clean the kitchen do a little laundry and watch an evening of the Olympics. I will fall asleep on the couch during the Olympics wake up just in time for the evening recap. I will then stumble up the stairs stepping over my piles of paperwork to check emails, blogs and Watch Prince sales before going to bed with the promise that tomorrow I will do at least a little on the paper piles. Tomorrow it starts all over again. Added bonus I get to go shuffle papers and do paperwork at The Watch Prince office part of each day too.

My Grandchildren Wichita July 2008

I am not very good at digital photography at all. I can't figure out the camera and I'm not very good at getting them on the computer let alone onto the blog. Therefore Victoria is my photographer however once she has taken the pictures I don't always see them. I have been nagging her to download the photos from our trip to Wichita to see Adrienne and her family but so far no luck. Well today I finally went to her FaceBook page and sure enough she had some of the photos there. I actually figured out how to get them from her FaceBook saved onto my computer and posted to my blog! I'm so proud of myself. she has more pics but at least it is a start. Maybe later I will attempt to get some of the photos on my Facebook page.
