Pardon the interruption

School has been in for about 3 weeks now and I am loving it.  The light bulb has clicked on regarding the classes I was sure I would never get.  Economics rocks!  When I am finished classes, I rush home so that I have quiet time to do homework because I am learning that when the family is here, it does not get done.  I should explain that we have two sided living room...basically a room was opened to make a large room but it still feels separate.  If you have been here you know what I mean. The TV is in one part of the room and the computer desk in the opposite side of the room.  Here is what happened last Sunday...


10:00am-
Jodi sits down at the computer to work on organizing the slides she needs to print for this week and decides to print them all at Staples.  So, I go about placing my order.

10:15am-
Darling Mom enters the room  
DM "what'ca doing?"
Jodi "Homework"
DM "Oh okay, want some bacon and eggs?"
Jodi "sure"

10:30am
DM "How much bacon should I cook"
Jodi " at least 10 pieces for all of us"
Jodi continues getting all the slides to one place...
DM "Bacon is done?"
Jodi "okay?"
DM "How many eggs?"
Jodi " Well I'll have one, please and DH eats two"
This is followed by DH coming into the living room and exclaiming "ummm bacon and eggs"

10:45am
Stop working to eat wonderful breakfast

11:00am
Back to computer desk to finish up slides to send to staples.  Interrupted by husband:
DH "What'ca doing?"
Jodi "Trying to organize my slides so I can send them to Staples to get printed and coiled"
DH "Well how much is this going to cost?"
Jodi "Less them me printing all of them at home..."

11:20am
DD "Mom... are you getting dressed?  Who is driving me to work?"
Jodi "Is your Nan dressed?  No, alrighty let me just finish this and I will get dressed"
DM "Oooo when you go can you pick up some Frosty's... I really want a Frosty"

Get dressed, get in car, take DD to work, go through drive thru to pick up frosty's, go back home, go back to computer desk.

12:00pm
It has now been 2 hrs since I started organizing the slides to print.  I spend another 30 minutes uploading them and placing my order...now to study.

12:30pm
DH enters the living room again (he is a pacer and it drives me nuts)
DH "What'ca doing now?"
Jodi "Working on Accounting homework online"
DH "OH cool...when's it due?"
Jodi " Not till next Sunday"

DH leaves the room and I can hear him in the kitchen rummaging around.
DH returns to living room and sits on couch, turns on tv and starts flicking through the channels...sports...movie...sports...movie...sopranos...movie...sports...movie....we have movie!

I sit in the other half of the living room attempting an accounting assignment for the 10th time and am getting frustrated with myself.  I then find myself trying to do the homework to the time of the bad guy music on the TV...you know.. that hurry rush and slow down music when the bad guy is just about to strike.  I try to shake it off.

DH...switch back to sports...movie...open can of pop and slurp it...grabs bag of chips and in a evenly continuous action eats said chips.  It sounds like this...

(with bad guy music in background)
Slurp of pop...little burb
Crinkle of bag, slowly as to not make to much noise but holding bag at wrong angle so it makes lots of noise
Crunching of chips (DH eats in even numbers... he says he doesn't but he does) it sounds like this...
crunch crunch crunch...chew chew...crunch crunch crunch...chew chew....and repeat
Crinkle bag, repeat crunching noises and then switching of channels.

I finally say something because it is now 1:30 and I barely have anything done.  I find myself unable to concentrate and rushing to the sound of the tv music.  Distracted by the chips and pop noises and all around annoyed that I need to get this done and there is no other computer for me to use.

I suggest we move the computer desk up to the bedroom, where I can lock myself away and explain why.  DH clues in that he is not helping the issue and decides to take the movie watching to another room.  By this time I am done, I have a headache and have decided that it would be better to stay at school and do work when I can...
