The Benefits of Jetlag

As of 7:30 this morning, I had:

- completed two loads of laundry
- run 6 km
- finished an entire day's worth of work
- weeded the front garden
- emptied the dish washer
- tidied up the house.

Whatever will I do for the rest of the day?

Victoria said...

Can I outsource to you?

*grin*

ALM said...

Yikes!

When are we going to hear about your trip?!?

Karen MEG said...

Welcome home!!! It took me most of the weekend to get back to normal and it was only a 3 hour difference!!!
Can't wait to hear more about your trip!
(6 km - mighty impressed, my friend!)

Mary Beth said...

Fortunately, the rest of the hemisphere is not awake at that time so you can get tons done, unless of course, you need to ask someone a question:} It sounds like you've earned a quiet day with a good book to doze over.

Rima said...

Welcome back! I was up all night, too, but I didn't get anything accomplished except a whole lot of tossing and turning. Ugh.

Chantal said...

All before 7:30. Girl, did you even go to bed last night!!!

Dawn said...

Welcome back! I think you accomplished more in the early hours of this morning than I did all day yesterday ;)

Amy Y said...

Here's an idea for you... I will fly you to Colorado and you can be my personal assistant? You were so productive! I'd hire you in an instant :)

Nice to see you again, Mama :)

gmcountrymama said...

Enjoy your nap, you deserve it!

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

But will the boys LET you sleep?

Welcome home.

Ree said...

Misty said...

Holy Moly, SuperGirl!

Geez, And I thought I had a productive morning...

Christie said...

Wowza. Get over here, sista. I'll put you to work.

You could come over here and do my laundry! ;)

Just sayin'

ewe are here said...

Yowza! 6 km before I even drag my butt out of bed? Very impressive.

Jet-lag does wonders to the energy levels...

Alpha DogMa said...

MamaGeek said...

I'm just glad your back. After you catch up on your ZZZ's (in about 4 months) fill us in!

My Ice Cream Diary said...

Man, I need to get me some of that awesome Jet Lag stuff! I'm suffering from Baby Lag, but I don't get anything done.

Kathryn said...

Wow! I'm impressed! You definitely deserve a nap! :)

Caffienated Cowgirl said...

Jetlag...the best way to get a jump on the day...and then crash :)

Queen of the Mayhem said...

Is drinking an option? Just checking! :)

katiez said...

You could come and do all that at me house.....

Cheri @ Blog This Mom! said...

Yo. That's a lot of busy.

Steph said...

Wow - that's a lot to accomplish in several days, let alone before 7:30am! Welcome back :)

Kyla said...

That's how I feel after the end of a semester!

Valarie said...

Umm, as of 7:30 this morning I had peed and, well, yeah... peed. That's about it.

kim-d said...

Hey Heidi! Sorry it's taken me so darn long to get here. The good news is, with all of the studying I'm doing, I can feel my brain "waking up" a little--that's a good thing, right? I still had to chuckle at the thought of you zzz'ing the rest of the day away. Yeah, right!

And I'm with the commenter who wants to outsource to you! Great idea :)!

Beth from the Funny Farm said...

May I hire you? :-)

...but no sleeping on the job!

;-)

Ginaagain said...

Obviously I didn't go far enough away from home to reap those benefits. Four days home and I'm still trying to unpack!

Mighty Morphin' Mama said...

Wow, you rock! Hope you are all back on track now, have a wonderful day,

Dana said...

Holy moly woman. Can I clone your genes? :-) Welcome back.

dkuroiwa said...

Oh man...jet lag like that is almost like something out of the Twilight Zone...too weird to even try to reason with!!
My theory is to never...ever...rush the jet lag...Just roll with it...things will get back to normal soon enough! Hang in there!!

Nadine said...

I am impressed! It's a well deserved nap.

I hope you're doing OK!

kimmy said...

Hope you are doing well!

the dragonfly said...

Glad you can see the positives...I've never found anything good about jetlag. At all.

:)

MadMad said...

Hahaha! Welcome home!

E said...

I don't have the excuse of jet lag, but I am sleepy every day right now. I just took a three hour nap and now I will be up for hours. I have my days and nights turned around like a baby....
welcome home

kim-d said...

HEIDI!!! HEIDI!!! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP!!! bwahahaha...

Seriously, are you okay? I miss ya, but I'm thinking you're off doing SOMETHING incredibly exciting and fun. Now you just need to tell us about it :).

Beth from the Funny Farm said...

What happened to you? I hope your okay!

Amy Y said...

Alright, Mama, it's been awhile and I'm starting to wonder where you are. Hope you're just super busy with your kitchen remodel and enjoying what's left of your summer and that everything's Ok!!

Anna-borderline-bonkers-banana :) said...

you are so funny!
And I wish I had that kind of energy in the morning, then again I would have to have jetlag right...or maybe go to bed at a decent hour.
Hope you are having a great summer, weeee-hoo, I love summer!

mdx3mom said...

Can I get some of your energy?

Jetlag = sleep to me.

dkuroiwa said...

Hey there Heidi!!
Just doing some blog reading, trying to dig out of the hole I have dug for myself here...along with 172 posts to read....Realized that we haven't heard from you for awile. If you were old and lived alone I would make a really bad joke asking if you had possibly "fallen and can't get up"...but...you're not and you don't, so I'll just say-----I hope you are having a good summer...getting back into the whole Canada life again...and that I hope you are doing okay!!

My Ice Cream Diary said...

So... Don't Vikings have conquests in Canada??? I'm missing your posts terribly. Hope you are well.

MadMad said...

Oh, this blogging in the summer is tough, huh? I hope you're well, though!

kim-d said...

Heidi, I really miss you! I miss seeing pix of B-Boy and C-Man. I wanna know what you're up to, but yet I know how hard it is to take time out for blogging. Just a line or two and a pic or two, maybe? :)

thirtysomething said...

Hiya!!
Well, looks like you are as busy as I have been, with very little time for posting. Miss you! I will keep checking back...

Laski Gal said...

Just dropping by to see how you are! Clearly . . . busy. And that is a very good thing.

We're a patient lot :)

Take care!!!

Cheri @ Blog This Mom! said...

Is all well? Just checking in again.

Kat said...

I'm sure you are terribly busy. I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing. You are missed! :)

Chantal said...

Hey Heidi, I just wanted to drop in and wish you a wonderful holiday season. I was trying to remember why I like snow and it made me think of you and all your wonderful posts last winter. I hope you and your family are well and in good health. Enjoy the holidays and take care.
Chantal

She She said...

Hey -- Finishing up NaBloPoMo a month or so ago reminded me of meeting you in the ether last year. Where have you gone? All is okay with you?

Anonymous said...

What a shame that there still is no update to this blog, or a word, or a comment...I loved following the holiday but to leave followers up in the air is pretty pissy.
