Day not as planned

Today was supposed to be a great day, weather wise. I had been looking forward to this day since the snow storm on Monday. I had it all planned out...I would arise from my slumber early (as to get a good start on the day) make a wonderful breakfast of pancakes so the aroma would fill the house. After that I would shower then we would take the dog to the park for a nice leisurely walk to soak up the wonderful sunshine and take in the fresh air. Afterward, we would return home to a small lunch and I would spend the rest of the day outside on my deck with a glass of sweet tea (yes, sweet tea) and catch up on well overdue reading. As the sun was setting we would grill burgers for dinner. There is nothing like the smell of a grill! It is as much the first sign of spring as daffodils are. Isn't it great to have plans? Of course the day didn't GO that way. I woke up close to 9am (I justified sleeping in as a way to "bank" sleep for the time change tonite) Jim popped open a can of cinnamon rolls as I sat down so frustrated with my hair I finally made an appointment to get it cut. It has only been 8 months since my last cut. After an all too fattening breakfast, I hop in the shower because now I have to be at the salon in an hour. As usual, my stylist is about 30 minutes behind. I didn't leave there until almost 1pm. I get home and my "small lunch" (I always picture that we different food than we really do) was macaroni and cheese. Staring at me while I am eating is the mound of dirty clothes in my laundry room. So, change of plans. I pick up the house just to make it presentable should anyone stop by on this beautiful day, then while the laundry is going, I catch up on reading. I should mention that I have cleaning ADHD, I cant just clean what I set out to do, I have to straighten this drawer, or cabinet, I have to vacuum the rugs, sweep off the porch. I am always getting sidetracked while cleaning. So, here it is 7:46pm, the sun is long gone, the grill never got uncovered, I never cracked open my book, and I never made sweet tea. And to top it all off, all that housework has messed up my new hairstyle. We all know it will never look this good again! So much for plans!
