Why is it that when I have something in the evening at my house, it never fails that I have absolutely no motivation whatsoever to prepare my home or myself until the last possible minute, at which point I know that the children will have major meltdowns, and I will be running around until people begin arriving?
I have known that I will be hosting this evening event for 10 days. I have had time this weekend to straighten up, put things away, and then all I would have had to do was run the vacuum and put away toys. Do you think I did that?!?!?!?
NO! I spent all day yesterday insuring that BB had a Fathers' Day that involved no thought or strenuous activity that he did not want to be engaged in. I spent Saturday doing laundry and planting some trees and plants in my yard.
I have spent this morning, which I told myself I would use wisely to prepare, watching TV and reading the newspaper. It is now 3 pm, I have 4 hours to clean up my home, myself, set up for pedicures and manicures, make dinner, feed myself and the children, shoo them downstairs with a sitter, and then pray that BB is home and can feed himself and clean up after himself before ladies begin arriving slightly before 7 pm.
I have been sitting here for some time now, thinking to myself that it won't take me that long to clean up and get things ready.
In reality I suppose it won't take that long...but I just want to sit here and do nothing. It would really be so much easier if I was not hosting this event this evening, and I just had to show up with my things...
Well, I have spent far too long doing nothing, so I shall now force myself to get off my behind and do some work.

I hope your night was everything and more for you..
I have similar problems. Like cleaning the house top to bottom three hours before bedtime...the night before vacation instead of the week before.
