The art of procrastination
(or thank goodness they are all back at school!)
So the happy
day has finally arrived and they have all gone back to school. The
house seems very quiet without all the tv's left on in every room
and 3 different radio stations blaring out.
So finally
I can get back to my crafting and those orders that have been piling
up and being put off until now. But I suppose that really
I should do the washing up first, and clear the kitchen - then I can
go play. Mind you, the washing has piled up rather and the tumble
dryer needs emptying. Oh well, just do that and then you can go and
paint.
Going through
the dining room, just ignore the fact that the carpet needs hovering
and go upstairs.
Emptying the
dirty paint water away reminds me that really the bathroom could do
with a quick clean and I really should remove whatever that revolting
looking lump of something out of the corner.
Ok, now everything
has been cleaned and put in its place. Now to work.
Flick through
the tv channels to watch something as I am working, make a few phone
calls….. does something tell you that I am putting off getting back
to the grindstone and actually making up those orders that I have
already been paid for and are being waited for patiently by my customers?
Why did I say
I would do that appliquéd towel for Sunday?! Or the graduation cards
for Monday, or the pearl anniversary cards for 2 weeks time, or the
2 boxes to be sent to the USA for Christmas? When they ordered them
it seemed like a long way off (actually it was a long way off, poor
woman has been waiting ages for them! Supplier was ages getting them
to me though in all fairness, but I have had them a few weeks and
still not done them yet!)
I have waited
ages to get the house back to myself and now I can't seem to get myself
going! Oh well, nothing for it, I must get on, … or shall I just write
another short article for Mags?……….

I
think we can all relate to this, even those of us without children
to consider! And I really do want to finish off those cottages
I am painting, and paint the prepared garden flowers but ...... decided
your article must be added to the site first ... mags
