There has been some discussion of just what people do that appear to be on GOLO all day and sometimes even all night.  This subject seems to be of great interest to some and comes around quite often of late.  And it has gotten me to thinking, just what DO people do? 

Are people at work?  Are they taking care of their children?  Are their children in childcare while they seemingly sit at a computer all day?  What about at night?  What goes on in the lives of people that we see post quite often day and night?  What must their house look like?  What must their families think?  Do they even have a family?  Is any of this even the business of anyone else?

Well, all I can do is consider my own situation.  See, my husband considers me a freak, a mutant, a freak of nature.  I am one of these individuals that just can not sit still.  If I am not doing at least 3 things at once, I consider myself being lazy.  It is extremely rare for me to be still, even in my sleep.  I don't sleep for long stretches of time, I don't watch much tv, and RARELY go to a movie theater.  When there is something on TV that I want to watch, I'm usually doing other things at the same time.  There are not many people that can talk to me on the phone because most get their feelings hurt.  They don't feel like they have my undivided attention.  Well, they don't.  No one hardly ever does.  It's like my brain is a compartment and I am able to talk on the phone, cook dinner, fold clothes, work on my menus for the next day, and supervise my children, all at the same time. 

This drives my husband absolutely nuts.  I can not be still.  He can't stand it.  He has to follow me around the house to have a conversation.  He can't understand how I can watch a movie, talk to him, and read a book at the same time.  I don't understand how anyone can JUST simply watch a movie and nothing else.  It would drive me nuts.

So, take today for example.  If one were to go back and look at my posts, it would appear that I have done absolutely nothing but sit on a computer and GOLO all morning. 

Not so.  I have cleaned my bathrooms, scrubbed my floors, vacuumed, cleaned my kitchen, washed 2 loads of clothes, posted menus from yesterday, closed out the weeks paperwork, talked on the phone, gone through my kitchen cabinets and raided what I could spare for my son who is moving into his own place tomorrow, designed and printed 30 housewarming invitations for my son's housewarming, and been on GOLO.

Oh yeah, I forgot that I had to get my boys up and out the door for school, feed the animals, take the trash to the street (cause the youngest forgot), and pay a bill.

 

Soooooooo, I'm asking.  Are you a weirdo like me?  Can you plan a party, keep house, take care of your kids, manage your househould budgets, handle life's crisis, all without breaking a sweat?  Do you get off juggling a million tasks at once?

 

Or can you only handle one thing at a time?

 

I will be offering multi tasking for dummies weekly at 7 pm beginning in May,,,lol
