Procrastination never dies

I am at the library....er working on my survey for my master's. I just received a phone message that I was missing one document for my Human Subject application - the message was left on my work phone - which I didn't check until today! So, I received it 8 days late. I just emailed off that piece tonight. I couldn't have emailed it from home tonight anyway because the power went out at 4:30 p.m. My husband was a little cranky from staying home with sick (almost well) Sean today, so I worried about leaving the family. However, they all told me I could go and I left them in the dark. I drove across town to the college library...and voila! Lights! Camera! Action! If only I could turn on the motivation. My goal is to have one night a week at the library instead of playing tennis.

Week Off

I have a week off from teaching this week, and I have so many things I want to do. The ugly things are figuring out my new prescription service since I changed my health insurance to Dale's. New forms, new websites, new usernames. I am trying to come up with "cute" passwords, like "datafun" I am hoping it will make me smile when I am logging in. I found out that my insurance covers acupunture, so I am adding that to the list of things to do! Monday and Tuesday, I will be working on my thesis...off I go.
P.S. Thanks Tess for the necklace, it goes perfectly with my earrings.

tennis in the morning

I got to play tennis with Sean's class this morning. It turns out that his teacher, Mrs. Sloan used to go to the racquet club and play a lot of tennis. I walked on the courts to pick up some extra tennis balls and wished that I was playing tennis instead of working on my literature review...

12 years old

I feel like I have jumped into another world literally. Mom of a preteen. We got my son a road bike, and we went on a nice ride this afternoon. Sean is learning how to crossstitch. We just bought a craft kit yesterday at a rummage sale. (We also bought a toaster oven for $2.00)
Hope you are having a great weekend!

Summer's End

This morning, Zachary and I rode our bikes to Chico Junior High and picked up his schedule. Math, 1st period! We also bought him a planner. Admittedly, I am more interested in this planner than he is. Speaking of planners, I just purchased a new planner based on finishing the book, "Getting it Done." This is probably my 5th planner in 2 years. We stayed home most of the day so I could get some academic writing done, so we are off to a picnic at 1 mile.

Humming along

I met with my professor for my literature review and she said that I could write! (Maybe I should start a new vocation in writing) I called my mom immediately and she said, "I knew that, but it's nice to hear it from someone else." So now on to finish. Kids will be picked up at 9:30 a.m. for a movie date while I work on more writing. I feel the procrastination bug already! I've been reading blogs, looking at cards, etc.
