yeah...that's me

Name:
Location: Tremonton, Utah

I am an eternal procrastinator. My moto is...why do today what can be put off until tomorrow. I have been married for 16 years and I have three absolutely adorable children. I've discovered what I wanted to be when I grow up and I love doing it. What they say is true, if you love what you do you won't work another day in your life.

motivation

Strange how motivation only presents itself when faced with the impending deadline. I only really clean my house when I know company (like my mother-in-law or my obssesive compulsive sister) is coming, otherwise my house is simply tolerable. I only mention this because I am currently taking a very short break from one of these motivational moments.

I hate that I am such a procrastinator. I could have cleaned all weekend, but why? Company wasn't arriving until Tuesday, I had plenty of time. Now it is Tuesday, obsessive compulsive sister is due any moment, and my bathrooms are growing something unidentifiable. (Thought to self, maybe I'll just have them stay in the brand new trailer sitting beside the house. It is perfectly clean. But no, that would be rude, or would it?) Instead I'll race around frantically picking things up, scrubbing any little fingerprint, and shouting orders at the kids and husband to hurry up and don't forget this and go do that. Then, finally I will be done just in time.

Why do I even care what people think of my domestic abilities, that isn't who I am. I am a lab tech who gets really great grades in college and I'm excellent at making sure everybody is where they need to be when they need to be there, so what does it matter if I hate cleaning house? Do you ever read in obituaries that this person was an excellent housekeeper? NO!
