Procastinating

UGH! I typed my first ever blog, previewed it, tried to make a grammatical correction and it DISAPPEARED. This is certainly not a good sign. Now, what was I saying ....

Oh, yeah, I said that I am writing this because I don't want to clean my house. I am home alone (except for the dog and cats) since John and Lorn left this morning to take Joshua to his new home in NY. I like being alone sometimes but I don't think I'd like it for more than a day. I am sitting here thinking of all of the things that need to get done. I am such a procrastinator. Give me a short deadline and I can accomplish almost anything. Give me an entire day and I can waste it away and never accomplish what I set out to do. I have been up for several hours (first at 3:30, again at 7:15 and for good at 9:10). I need to get dressed and get to work cleaning this castle! By now I should have been dressed, exercised at the gym for an hour, and at least started on this cleaning activity. But, nope, haven't done any of that. I have managed to wash the dishes from last night, let the dog out twice, answered the phone (a telemarketer call for Mary who has been in AZ for almost two years), baked 6 choc chip cookies and ate 5 of them -- so much for my Weight Watchers program.

I am addicted to Kim's blog (check it out ... www.wuenschel.blogspot.com) I can't get enough of looking at Nathanael's pictures and hearing about how much he is growing/changing. I think I need a webcam and one for the Wuenschel computer so I can SEE the most precious baby in the world (and his parents, too). I thought having my children move so far away (Dave & Mary in Mesa, AZ and Kim in Spartanburg, SC) was the worst thing in the world. Now, it is even "more worst" with my first grandbaby so far away. I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT! I am certain that it was never God's plan to have grandchildren live so far away from their grandparents!!

Alright, now that I have given myself over to self-pity, it is time to take back control and set out to do what I intended when I got up this morning (each time I got up) ... CLEAN. So, I'm off to get dressed, find the vaccuum cleaner, the dust rags, a bucket and mop and get to work. Between Olympic breaks and checking for a new Wuenschel blog, maybe I will have the house cleaned by midnight.
