I am personally putting off balancing the checkbook and paying bills.

I then have laundry and a house to straighten...but Mamapedia is so much more fun!!

So what aren't you doing??

What can I do next?

Folding two baskets of laundry. I'm good at many things, but I'm a freakin' *expert* at procrastination.

Since I bruised my knee up pretty badly ice-skating last week, there is a lot I need to do, but so very little that I feel like I SHOULD be doing right at this moment. My knee is still swelling intermittently when I spend too much time up on it, so I have to limit that. So steaming the floors, doing dishes, laundry, etc is allllll out for today and the next day probably too.
BUT, I do have a lot of Christmas wrapping that still needs to be done. It is just a tad awkward, though, b/c I wrap on the floor, and I have to kind of throw my leg out to the side. And there is a lot of "up and down" with choosing paper and bows and ribbons and retrieving hidden gifts, etc... so I am taking a break, lol.

I am putting off.... calling a Mom... per a note she sent home with my son from school, inviting him for a play-date with her son, this Winter Break.
Because... I have NO IDEA, "when" to have the play date. SO busy this week and we have appointments and other events to attend too. Plus having to do errands and Christmas shopping etc.
But I don't wanna be "rude" to her and not call at all.
She's a nice lady. Her son is my son's friend at school. Not a BFF, but a boy he plays with during recess.
So... I don't know what to do.
Even if I call her, I have NO idea, "when" or what date to tell her, for a play-date. Ugh.
And I was looking forward to just doing "nothing" as well and not having to rush from invitation to invitation, this school break.

Anyone have a solution or what I can tell her???
LOL
Seriously.
;)

Then, my daughter... her friends want to come over here, for a play-date. So, I am putting off calling their Moms too. I don't know WHEN, to have them over. A gaggle of girls. But they are waiting for me to call them, with a play-date, day.
But.... my daughter woke up this morning, SICK. Stomach pains, throwing up, diarrhea, and the chills.
And my Husband, is not home!
Luckily, my son is being calm and quiet. LOL
We had to cancel a luncheon today, since my daughter is sick.
last minute. The whole family was suppose to go.

But I am doing household chores, and my 2nd laundry pile.
And dishes and comforting my daughter at the same time.

Not a single thing :) I've been up since 4 am, went through a mountain of bills, threw out a trash bag full of old bills, envelopes, junk mail etc., cleaned out a closet, did dishes, swept, watched a couple of messages online while cleaning and going through bills, fed the kids lunch, and now I'm done. I've put a 9.5 hour day in already :)

I am putting off going through home videos.
I got this GREAT idea to put all of the familys old home videos on DVD for my mom for christmas , I had NO IDEA what I was getting into.
I am on DVD #6 . and still have 10 or so tapes to still do before christmas,
I am so tired of watching these things! And I have to watch them cause one of my siblings kept using them to tape tv shows on so it will be something like 10 mins of christmas , then 45 minutes of Bill Nye the Science Guy followed by 15 mins of more home movies , followed by another 25 mins of Goosebumps. I'm going insane lol.
