i am really, really good at procrastinating! have you noticed?
one of the things i can NOT stand is unfinished projects. so much so that i don’t tackle anything until i am sure i can finish it. in high school, this translated to MANY late nights, writing papers that i simply refused to start until i had all of my research, or all of my thoughts, or all of my pencils sharpened, or whatever… because god forbid i would have ever started something that i couldn’t finish RIGHT THEN.
impatient? yes. i’ve been called that once or twice.
fast forward to 2009, and you meet the blogger who doesn’t blog unless he can finish the post THEN. and with 2 kids, a business, a husband, and a DVR, i’m not always that good at finishing what i sit down to write. so i avoid it. (and there MUST be a legitimate diagnosis for this.)
i have thought of at least 5 great posts over the past 5 or so weeks that i’ve been absent, and my goal was to sit down and bang out all five today, timing their release so that i’d appear to have 5 new posts over the next 10 days.
but alas, i have only a few minutes right now. so, in the spirit of self-awareness and ongoing self-improvement, i’ve intentionally logged in to type and run, simply to prove to myself that i can do it. i can put something out to the world unedited, imperfect, and NOT do what i intended to do (write all five posts); and the world will go on turning.
organized chaos 
you go, girl! so much of what you said about juggling everything, dropping some of the balls, not being able to finish things and finding that sooooo frustrating? i. am. right. there. with. you.
i know you said you felt like this back in the day, but still, it gets exacerbated with wee ones around. you’ve got a case of motherhood!
