Procrastination is my middle name!
Well not really, it's actually Leah and my first name is awful. But Procrastination should be my middle name! I swear I'm a slug!! I did try to work out yesterday, honestly I did. For a minute anyway.
I had good intentions, and yes I know what paves the road to hell Grandma!
But honestly I had my large frame out puffing away on the walking track and got 1/2 way around the first lap and noticed that all of the kids on my son's team had the deer in the headlights look. They were trying to play baseball while looking behind them beyond the fence. My thoughts were WTH?? I look back and notice across the street 3 future little felons were firing up bottle rockets. Okay, they looked a little young to be allowed out alone unsupervised with matches and explosives but what the hell do I know?
I'm sure if I go knock on the door their mom will assure me that it's perfectly okay that her 7 and 8 year olds are out there shooting bottle rockets. I know I'll get that typical response of "he's been doin' it fer years. It ain't no problem." I'm really not in the mood for a redneck confrontation since I'm not at my 'fighting weight' yet.
Then I notice that these little jerks are shooting said bottle rockets at boys on the field and they must have some kind of GPS locator chips in them because they are getting pretty darn close. That got my heart rate up. Thankfully I had a much calmer friend with me. She told me not to worry she had it taken care of.
About that time Officer Friendly starts making his usual drive by to see if any parking tickets need to be issued. My friend smiles and the ballpark manager goes over and talks to the officer and he goes to the door to have a little talk with the mother of the future felons. Before he can knock one of the kids in the backyard lit a string of firecrackers. The cop ran around to the back yard and caught them redhanded lighting more rockets to aim at the allstar team. I'm sure he was thrilled with the cheers of the ballplayers when he went and knocked loudly on the backdoor and asked the mom to step outside. LOL
Well after all that small town excitement, we went to sit down..LOL Before we could get back up to walk more a huge black cloud came out of nowhere with a strong wind and lightning, afraid of tornadoes we rushed the kids to the parking lot and went home.
My exercise ball mocks me from the bathtub, I think it's growing. I think it feeds on my laziness. I promise I will get busy on it in just a few minutes......
The procrastination extends to other areas. I go to school fulltime so I can get a degree and stand in a room of 23 future little felons and teach them what verbs are. (somebody shoot me now) I waited until the last day to do my history final exam. It was 3 essay questions, easy...no problem I just had to sit down and write 6 thousand words... I did it and with minutes to spare logged on and went to download my exams...and it happened my computer froze.....just sat there with my files 37% loaded. The deadline was about 1 minute away.....4 minutes later the thing finally downloaded...but the dropbox was closed. OMG my final exam was going to be at least 10% deducted because I was going to be considered late. Ack. I sent it to the professors email account. And guess what? Yep got a letter last week reminding me that my Incomplete was about to become an F!!!!
Karma!! ...I found out that my history professor is a procrastinator also. After 10 days of paniced emails to 1/2 of the U of M we got in touch with him. After my grade had become an F. Today he got in touch with me and told me to send it (my final) immediately and he would adjust my grade accordingly... **gulp** I guess that blew the hell out of my A in that class.
More Karma!! .....I watch a special needs child who has a state grant to pay for her childcare. I was late mailing my invoice to her case worker...My check that normally comes on the 5th...still not here....OMG
Of course the evil troll has yet to grace me with the magic child support check so we will be doing well on the diet. Is it possible to live on green tea and baby carrots?? I think that's all there is in the frige.
Lookout Mr Hottie, I'll be slim in no time!!! Might be to weak to chase you though.
