Why am I here???

Sounds deep doesn't it?? Like I'm going to do some gut wrenching soul searching right here on my blog for you.

I'm not.

I'm just literally wondering why I'm here...in this chair...still in my PJs....when I need to be running multiple errands and cleaning my house. Darn computer. Darn cold weather. Darn overwhelming to do list.

Sigh...

I am a world class procrastinator. Is there a prize for stellar procrastinating?? I would win it. Seriously.

I need to go to Toys R Us today. What a nightmare! I almost had a nervous breakdown in there the other day -- the type of breakdown I usually reserve for Wal-Mart or Sam's Club. But I stood in a big, long, slow-moving line in the electronics department only to find they couldn't give me the great deal they were offering because they were out of two parts of the package deal. I am headed back there today to fix it, but I am not looking forward to it. So here I sit...stalling.

I have approximately 262 million things to do this coming week. I have not purchased one teacher's gift or mailed packages to out-of-town family. I have pretty much decided for the first time ever I will not be sending Christmas cards, but knowing me I will decide all of a sudden I really need to send them and will be panicked to get them out. I have a birthday party to send invites for and party favors to buy. I have a lot of dust bunnies in every room of my house, ironing to do, laundry that grows overnight. My dog needs a bath. The list goes on and on.

And yet here I sit. Which is probably the answer to my question. Why am I here?? In this spot and not running around doing those 262 million things??

Because it is so much easier.

But time keeps slipping away...and I had really better get a move on. This procrastination thing is surely the cause of much of my stress.

So farewell for now. Maybe for Christmas Santa will bring me a big ol' heap of motivation. Goodness knows I need it.
