Work now, vacation later...

Fifty-one days ago?! Yikes! That's really bad. It's like I fell off the planet bad. Wow. I feel compelled to browse my archives and see if I've gone that long without writing before, but that may just be because I have an incredible shitload of work that needs to be done and I'm looking for excuses to avoid any actual productivity.

I got up early today. Actually got a lot of work done between the time I came downstairs at 6:30 and 9:30 when other family members started joining me. And then my motivation was lost and I've accomplished very little since then.

I don't know what it is with me. Something in my chemistry makes it impossible for me to believe that not getting my work done is even a possibility. So I put things off and put them off some more, knowing that in the end the task will be completed. And it always is... so that's not exactly the best reinforcement.

We leave on Friday for two weeks in paradise. I love Kauai. If I had my way, we just wouldn't come back. Well, we might send the kids back, but the husband and I would stay. :)

Life is good. I am happy. If not for all this work, everything would be perfect.
