Efficiency at it's best...or worst!

I'll preface this post with a little bit of of background. About 4 months ago Chris started a new job...a huge blessing with the two new additions. This blessing has also meant much longer hours (less travelling though) and hasn't allowed Chris very much time to buy cars for the dealership...needless to say it's suffered little bit. I had been to a couple of live auctions but wasn't sure how all the online stuff worked so over the past couple months I've done a couple of online bids and they've ended up being some of our best buys (Chris tells me I have good instinct). So with the two new additions I needed a van that met our needs better. Since our van had bucket seats in the middle the boys couldn't get through and would have to go through the front to get to the back. In addition to this problem Landon has to sit in the back and this isn't a problem if Jaden is there but if he's not I have to climb to the back to buckle him in his booster. I also have disliked only being able to haul 1 extra child...there are times I need to haul two and I just can't do it. So for the past two weeks I've been searching, doing proxy bids, losing, and not finding a van that would fit our needs....plus we needed it to fit our budget since we are paying cash (not dealership cash but personal cash). Yesterday afternoon I felt like I should check at 3pm and I found a van and realized the Live auction was happening in Florida that very moment...I WON! I felt like on my own search I learned a lot so now to today.....

This morning Chris said he saved a couple of cars for the SLC auction today and asked me to check it out...since I had much better luck with the live auction yesterday I knew that I needed to get on at 9am and I had many other tasks to complete so here is my multi-tasking efforts.

1. Dressing Eliza as I'm waiting for the cars to come up that I want to bid on.
2. My breakfast, slimfast.
3. The phone bill I prepared for Chris so he can get reimbursed at work.
4. My sticky notes of the cars & how much I'm going to bid.
5. The actual live auction...my computer honks at me when the cars on my watchlist come up.
6. Landons clothes that I need to put on him in between bids.
7. A content Alisha who is next to get dressed.

6. Landon pulls the cushions off at least 3 times a day...lets just say it drives me crazy! Anyways, this morning I decided that I needed to take the opportunity to vacuum out the couch since he reminds me about 3 times a day how gross it is.

7. A stripped down boy so I can get his clothes on quickly.

And I wrote this post all while I was waiting for my cars to come up!
