Another Procrastination Post (2 in one day!)

I'm a Stay-at-home-mom.  My job is to keep my kid alive, fed and if we're both lucky, happy.  Sometimes, this job that seems so simple gives me a run for my money.  There are days that go by and I'm not sure how it got to be 5pm or why either one of us is crying. It just happens.

But most days I don't cry.  

On normal days, 5pm hits and I take off like a mad woman making the house look presentable and getting dinner going so that when my husband gets home, it looks like we've had a productive day.  I don't know why I do this.  He doesn't care if we've been productive.  I have one of the most helpful husbands ever. He's glad to look at a few of the hundreds of pictures I've taken of our son that day and sit in a mess.  Please note that our mess is not dirty, it's just toys and dog hair. 

But, he does go to work every day so that I can stay home and raise our son while he is gone, so I feel like at least dinner has to be made every night when he gets home.

Today I used a crock-pot and took a much shorter nap than normal (Yes. I  nap every day).  So, I can play on the interwebz until he calls and says he's 2 minutes away.   

Also, that paper that I talked about earlier today? Still not done. I need to do my best work, which means I need to wait until the very.last.minute. 

A Case of the Mondays

It's no secret, I'm an honor student at a prestigious online university.  I am on the softball team. School runs from Tuesday to Monday.  All assignments are due Monday night. This means that Sunday nights and Mondays are a whirl of catching up on  my excellent procrastination skills. 

 I am not lying, I have ah-maz-ing skills in this department.  Even more amazing? My ability to get crap done, quickly and well! It's not even 9am on Monday morning and I have taken my groups crap PowerPoint presentation and turned it into something beautiful.  

Now all I need to do is write an individual paper and get a conclusion written for our group paper.  Seems like a lot of work, I probably should have done work through out the week.  I could learn from this or just keep repeating this.  That's what I will do. Keep repeating this weekly battle. Why? Because I have a 3.8gpa, that's why. I usually seclude myself in the basement in my "office" during these times of procrastination catch up, but I brought the laptop out to the kitchen table so that I can get work done with the kid plays. Good mom, I know.

Okay, fine!  There is no softball team.
