If I was at home....

Do you ever find yourself at work wishing you were at home because, as you tell everyone who will listen, you have "so much to do" there?  I do that a lot...I sit at my desk, day in and day out, doing my job, dealing with the public, just doing what I do...all while thinking about all the "stuff" I need to do at home.  The part I find amusing is that when I get home, I put on my sweats (or jammies, if it's been a particularly icky day), start dinner, and then sit my butt on the couch to....umm....watch TV!  All of a sudden, all those ever-so-important things I wanted to be home doing aren't so important.  American Idol, however, is of life-stopping importance, as is Modern Family, Two & a Half Men, and pretty much anything on TruTV.  I've even had days off from work where I secretly plan to "tackle" all those "things" that need to get done...! Knowing my co-workers are at the office muddling through their day wishing they, too, were at home taking care of business!  Yet, there I sit, unmotivated to do a damn thing!  Why is that?  While I sit at work, I have visions of me in my kitchen making banana bread, getting caught up on my scrapbooks (I'm still working on the 2005 scrapbook!), going through the kids' closets, organizing my junk drawer...you get the picture.  Maybe I need to make a list.  Maybe staring at a list of things I need to do will give me the get-up-and-go I need!  It will feel great to cross things off as I do them.  I think that's what I'll do...I'll have a list on my desk at work where I can write down all the things I need to do at home. I'll start the list with "MAKE A LIST."  That way I've already accomplished the first thing on the list, right?  Right!
