Give me a few moments of peace....

...and I can accomplish a bazillion things.
     This evening has reminded me that if I am left alone I can accomplish so much in a short amount of time.  As an airman I used to get so frustrated because I could not get my work done and I looked so sh!tty, but when I become an NCO and was in charge of my own office I discovered that if I was left alone for just 1.5 hours I could accomplish 50% of the daily work load of a 4 person office. How amazing is that. So my rule was for the first 1.5 hours of the day I was to be left alone, unless their was some crazy emergency. My airman answered the phone, helped the customers etc and then we all just futzed around the rest of the day finishing up the rest of the work.  Now it may not seem "right" that I did so much of the office work load because I was in charge...blah blah blah, but I enjoyed it and loved having it done.  My airman were always more perky than I, so it was smart to have them help the customers and they all rocked at it!  It just worked out well and I loved it!
     So this evening my husband took my 4 dear daughters out of the house to run some errands and I got to work.  In a short 1.5 hours I finished a sewing project, started making hot dog buns (waiting for them to rise right now), started whole wheat bread (mixing in the bread maker right now), started dinner (just waiting for it to finish simmering), and got to blog in peace.  I really wish my daughters would go to him more for things in the house.  Maybe I should make a rule that for the 1.5 hours after dinner they can only go to my hubby.  I wonder how much I could accomplish. :)
