How to Eat An Elephant

This is the last thing I SHOULD be doing right now. I am using my blog as an escape from the 22 things on my "to do" list. My house is a pig sty, kids running amuck, important tasks left undone, and a test in my Gov. class tomorrow night! I know what I need to being focusing on...just don't want to do it! I realize the longer I procrastinate, the worse it is gonna get! So why do I do it? I don't know...?
I am reminded of my mother's wise statement to us as we would face the daunting task of cleaning our pig sty bedrooms when we were young..."There is only one way to eat an elephant," she would tell us, "one bite at a time!"
Anyway...I write this to share a real struggle of mine with you! I hate this about myself. So...pray for me as I pull myself away from the computer screen ,grab my knife and fork and tackle my "elephant". I hate elephant...I'd rather have pizza today!

Lol! Just the other day, I rose early, mustered up every ounce of determination I could find to motivate myself to clean the house, and got a really great start on it. Then....at 11:00 a.m. I remembered a playdate I had made with some friends, and had to hurriedly get ready to meet them at 12:00 noon! (Aw shucks!...Ruined the whole rest of my cleaning day :) :) :)

Glad you have come back to the blogging world!

P.S. Tell the girls that we still don't have a bug from their special delivery the other day. But....it seems that our big moth who we thought had been dead for 2 or 3 days is still alive?!

I think that this elephant is one of my own making!
