Hi, my name is Jamee and I am a procrastinator. (Is there a group for this, cuz if so, I REALLY need to join it).
I have always been the biggest procrastinator I know. I write papers the night before they are do and I have a million unfinished projects stuffed in a closet somewhere. A diet for me will always start "tomorrow." But this week this pitiful fault of mine has cost me dearly.
Things that happened this week due to procrastination:
1. Put off cleaning the kitchen until tomorrow only to have a friend show up the next day unannounced and was mortified by the tower-high pile of dishes in my sink and the filthy counter.
2. Had someone come over and notice the blue tape on my walls around my baseboards and I told her "Since we got the new floors we had to put in quarter round and I need to paint it."
She asked, "When did you get the new floors?"
"Um. . . 2 1/2 months ago" . . which is how long the blue tape has been there
3.Put off getting up this morning to play piano at the primary activity so ended up getting kids donuts for breakfast and telling them to cram it in their faces on the way to the church so we wouldn't be late
4. Laundry. . . ugh. Let's just say Caden had to wear the same underwear twice because it is SO behind.
5. Procrastinated making a grocery list so that when hubby decided spur of the moment to take the kids to the pool so I could go shopping I had no list and was very hungry. . hence I spent $200 on junk food basically.
6. Did not study at ALL this week so my usual 2 hours of studying is going to turn into 4 this next week. . .crap.
7. Completely forgot about Father's Day until about an hour ago so ended up buying ridiculously expensive concert tickets that Jared really wants to go to just so I could save face. (I procrastinated on his birthday too so I owe him double).
8. Got pics of the kids taken 2 months ago and just now got around to ordering them. (BTW, thanks Andrea!)
The list goes on, but I really don't know what to do with myself these days! Hopefully someone else has this problem too. I seriously need to start a support group...maybe tomorrow. :)

Oh my gosh, you are what I ASPIRE to be! I am so much worse! SO much. I don't think there is a group - nobody has gotten around to making it, of course.
I put of Father's Day, too, went to the store w/o my dad's clothes size, guessed and got it wrong, and now I have to either go back now or buy a backup or write a card that promises a future gift. BUT, I will never return them if I wait, and I still haven't bought him his birthday present (from April). And I haven't bought a card. Suck.
I should be the president of that there support group you are talkin' about. Well, unless the president is supposed to help people get over the problem. I haven't a clue how to start helping myself. I've been this way my whole life!
I'm constantly praying people will not show up unannounced to see my gross kitchen. That's usually about the time the missionaries knock on the door- but they don't count cuz I can guarantee their silence with food. :)
At least you KNOW what you're not doing... I'm ALWAYS surprised by stuff I should have been doing. I just started school again and it took me two weeks to figure out I had TWO email accounts I should have been checking- my groups thought I was a total flake... now they know I'm just a dummy!
i think we are ALL in this group!
