Procrastination is the Cornerstone of Productivity

This morning I could not tell if Lily was too sick to go to school or too well to stay home from school. She ended up going.

In other news I am getting a bit burned out on all this work, work, work. Adding 4-5 hours of work to my schedule 7 days a week is starting to get on my nerves.

My bosses are very nice though. They are appreciative of how hard I work, they have amazing work ethic. I get my first pay check tomorrow maybe that will perk me up.

Yesterday, the Kindergarten at Lily's school had a picnic to celebrate the letter p. We brought foods that begin with the letter p for our picnic. Parents were invited. One of my new friends whose daughter is in Lily's class and they also live around the corner, her husband has been deployed to Iraq and came home yesterday in time for the picnic. I cried. I cry just talking about it. The kids didn't know he would be there. What a moment. The dad is a critical care nurse. I always find it amazing how strong some people are at their core. I am horrid in any type of emergency. I have trouble watching a dad and daughter be reunited - imagine I would fall apart if I had to administer to the wounds of a fellow solider - every day for six months. Yikes.

Guess I better get to work. Been procrastinating for about 3 1/2 hours... Maybe one more cup of coffee first. Anyone want to go out for some sushi?

hey, i'm procrastinating right now, too!

we went to a movie last week and there was a national guard commercial before it started that had me bawling. i got weepy when they showed a parade for the soldiers coming home, and then really cried when the daddy in uniform scooped up his daughter. OMG. and it was just a commercial. real life would do me in, for sure.

When my husband was deployed to Desert Storm people wore yellow ribbons in support. Every time I saw one I cried.
