It's probably a very good thing that gerbils have tiny brains. Have you ever watched a gerbil go about his day to day activities? I mean, REALLY watched? Wake up. Twitch whiskers. Scurry left. Relieve oneself. Drink water while making water bottle clang clang clang against metal cage. Dart right. Twitch whiskers. Paw at alfafa hay. Munch on yummy gerbil food. Flop. Approach exercise wheel. Get in exercise wheel. Run like a bat outta hell. Run. Run, RUN RUN. Turn a flip. Pause. RUUUUUNNNNNN, Forrest Gerbil, RUN! Come to a screeching halt and realize you have gotten nowhere. Exit exercise wheel stage left. Repeat scenario over and over and over again...all day. And night. And the next day. And the next and the next and the next. *sigh*
This is me. Except I am not a gerbil. But I feel like one these days. Constantly running, and getting nowhere. Ever have a day or a week that feels like this? I am just trying to remember that this will pass. The laundry will get done, the house will get picked up. But in the meantime, I think I'll drink some water and twitch my whiskers. Oh, and is that an exercise wheel I see????

Oh My, Laura. You made me laugh from the minute I saw your post title. :) Cute!
What a funny post! Be comforted in knowing that things will get worked out- The chores will eventually get done and the house will be picked up... Sooner or later:)
I have some exciting news to share with you. I've been meaning to call you but I've been under the weather for about 2 weeks. But thankfully I'm better now and trying to catch up on all that I put off! I promise to call you soon... Have a great week!
I have often felt like a gerbil, in fact yesterday I was in full gerbil mode most of the day. Thanks for helping me laugh a bit at myself this morning. Maybe today I can slow down and be more like a cat....
