That's Professor Procrastinator, with a capital P

For those of you that really know me, you know I am expert at procrastination and laziness. (Both wonderful attributes in a mother, I know). Now, normally it doesn't cause too many issues. If the work gets done by it's due date, it got done right? I mean does it matter that instead of working on something over the course of weeks or months, I choose to cram it all into one day? NO! I mean really, I've written "A" worthy papers at 2 am the night before they are due. I am an ace at it (thanks Mom!) and I work well under pressure.

In fact, I am at the procrastination routine at this VERY moment! I said I was going to hang up the rest of the baby clothes today. I even went to Target and bought more hangers!! After a sad realization the other night that my hanger to clothes ratio were not in my favor, I decided to go to bed. Instead, this blog was created.... See, sometimes Pro-time can lead to wonderful things! Any who, since I am once again blogging, it must mean something important is being ignored. It is true. I didn't touch a single outfit to get hung in the closet. I almost forgot where I put the hangers (they're at the bottom of my bed- 3 feet away from me). I also bought a new hamper for my dirty clothes, a tall one that the dog can't lay in. (Exciting stuff, I know!) The damn thing is overflowing! Next time I'll go buy one AFTER I've done the laundry. That way it will look empty for a while and in turn it will look like I do laundry more than once a week (or two)...

What's really sad about the hamper purchase. Aside from the obvious.... I have a basket of clean clothes RIGHT next to it and one in my son's room. Why? Well, because I am Professor P. I wash the clothes, then I dry the clothes or hang dry the clothes, then eventually put them in the dryer to fluff out, then I carry them upstairs, and then that's it.

Laundry loses it's charm with me very easily. Not to mention, I can dig through a basket of clean clothes like a champ (thank again Mom!- she is going to hate me). Once they're clean, what more do you need? Organization? Wrinkle free clothes? Efficiency? A obstacle free bedroom? Meh... Though, I can see both the dirty clothes and the clean clothes out of the corner of my eye and it's annoying me. I also have a strong need to be organized. I have a plan and place for everything. It's just a matter of executing my plans. You know, focusing on the issue at hand.

Let me back up. The reason I am telling you this is that I for some reason I think that the baby won't come until after I am done prepping. So, the longer I put it off, the more time I have to be lazy and only have to care for one very independant child. As opposed to a newborn. Not to mention, the memories of childbirth are trickling back and I could really put that off for a while, for sure.

In a way my thinking is logical. Step B can't happen until Step A is done. Well, I keep forgetting, babies don't follow steps or rules or their mommies laziness. Am I the only one that has this problem? I really need and want to finish getting ready for the baby. I have one more box of Cloth Diapers that I am waiting for and I will have everything that I need. I just can't find the motivation or the energy.

Hopefully I am not alone in my thinking. Here's to tomorrow!!!! Wish me luck!
