Tons to do = no motivation

in 2 days I will have my dad's family here. The following day I will have all of my mom's entire family here. JT is in bed...I'm waiting for him to fall asleep. Between him tossing and turning and playing and then his nap I should have a good 2 hours to do something productive and yet here I sit. 

I should: brush my teeth, take a shower, put new tags on all of my presents so NONE say "Santa" cause my dad's kids will see it and be all like "huh??", laundry, make my bed, make appointments for 1st bday pics and pedi appt, get my new contacts and glasses, etc. etc. etc.

I have no.motivation.at.all. It's rainy, and dreary, and dark - what are your "to-do's" today??

    Make a list in order of importance and just do one thing at a time. One task is doable; 27 are not.

    Today's priority one for me is to get every last thing shipped. Second is to drag some stuff to Toys for Tots, because either today or tomorrow is the last day and we already bought stuff. A shower is 3rd (I don't reek so it'll be good enoug for the post office, lol), laundry is 4th. Buying cupcakes for Joaquin's party is after that since i still have 3 days to do that. After that is the extra 'nothing is doooone' holiday freakout stuff like cleaning the oven and whittling a creche out of driftwood.

    THIS! It's the only way I ever get anything done. I am constantly making lists and love to check things off.. hate adding new things on.

    I need to finish all my baking today, and mail out a few things.

    Santa came last night so we have to order Christmas cards today so they at least go out before 2012.  Other than that, it's a lazy day spent playing.  I haven't showered or put on make up and I don't plan to.  I refuse to leave the house today, we need a day of quality mommy and E time.

    I like that you whittle Broc. I am so unmotivated all the time that I really have no way to help OP. I would try to do one thing at a time. Maybe start with brushing your teeth? Or brushing them in the shower. Then you get 2 things done at once... Hmmmm....
