pondering procrastination
Is the tendency to procrastinate genetic? My brother and I are both habitual procrastinators. Intellectually I know it's easier to go ahead and get it done. But I'd rather play now and work later. Is it because I know I'll never run out of work? I'm a WAHM. There's always a long list of things that need to be done. I can't make myself work at my desk if the house is a pit. If the house is clean, I sit down at my desk. . .and get a call to pick up sick kids. Or something. When I mop a floor, a juice spill is inevitable within an hour. If I spend 20 minutes cleaning the bathroom, I spend 40 minutes reconstructing the kitchen after my toddlers decide to get their own snack. If I sneak to the desk when they are engrossed in a video they are in my lap within 5 minutes begging to play on "Mommy's comphuher".
I begged God for these children. I was scared to death I would never have them. When I got them I was afraid I wouldn't get to be home with them. Now I'm griping about having to work with them around? What is the matter with me? Of course I'd rather play with my kids than work on my taxes.
Sounds like I just talked myself into further (justifiable) procrastination.

Jen I'm glad you're blogging. Of course we have the same blog background now!! I can understand your kids blog, but that first one I don't even know if I can comment if you get too intellectual on me. Maybe you and Thomas should start conversing.
Jen, hey! I am glad you are blogging. We all need a little bit of a intellect in this circle. Challenge us with some meaning of life stuff, all we seem to talk about lately is potty training and television. Glad to have you my parasailing friend.

Hi Jen. My parasailing friend. I am glad you are here.
Am! You just commented 3 times! :) Jen, I'm so glad you're blogging! I miss you! I was spoiled getting to room with you on the cruise and see you so much! But now that you're blogging, I'll be able to keep up with you a little more! :) I do agree with Kiah though..you are so smart Jen that I can't quite keep up with your first blog! I love the change of pace though!
Hey Jen, I have to chuckle a little when I read about your kids. The memories coming flooding back!!Not that John can't make a mess but 2 kids sure seem to invent new ways to destroy a room. It will get better. I think at about age 4, you can turn your back for 10 seconds instead of 5. Try to enjoy the humor, it really doesn't last long enough! J&J will be 12 this summer. TOO FAST!!It's OK to have those days of wishing for order. We all have our moments!
