Procrastination!

Christmas cards, photos to be hung on a wall, paperwork for insurance next year, choir cantata programs to be printed, desserts for various parties, IRS forms (not scary ones), Christmas presents, job hunting, EDD paperwork, car registrations, household chores--the question for the day is how many things can one woman having looming over her before she cracks? The really big problem is the I have the attention span of a gnat at the moment. If I could just sit down and focus on one thing from start to finish--I'd be able to knock most of this stuff out. But focus has never been a strong point of mine. You need only to have a conversation with me for longer than 10 minutes to realize how tangential my thinking is.


I swear its not old age either--I have been this way since I was a child! I'll walk into a room with the intention of plugging my cell phone in--I go to plug it in, realize that the counter is dirty, start cleaning it off, as I'm putting something away, realize that I have laundry that needs to be changed out, get down to the laundry and realize that my garage needs cleaning, put something from my dirty car upstairs in my room, sit down and try to get bills paid, pay my cell phone bill, realize that it's not yet plugged in, go down and plug it in and realize that the counter is still dirty. . .and the entire cycle starts over again. And at the end of the day, I have a dirty counter, dirty laundry, dirty garage and an uncharged cell phone! Is this normal, or do I need some serious drugs?!
I'm posting a collage of Porter a friend of mine did. It's quite good. I have such talented friends around me--Eng is an amazing photographer, my sister does everything she puts her hands to well, my mother can prepare lessons for church that make everyone better people. Me, I can't even clean my house.

I read this and it cracked me up. I do the same things too. For the last few years, I have been traing myself to only focus on one room at a time. Good luck with all the stuff on your list.
