Procrastination

I'm an expert at putting things off. For example, our house is getting fumigated next week. I should be packing up my food and medicines into annoying little bags, but I'm not. We're heading off to Mammoth this weekend. I should be finding snow clothes for my kids, but I'm not. I have 2 weeks to finish my ornaments for this insane ornament exchange. I actually made 8 ornaments, and then decided I didn't like them and trashed them all. Now I'm starting over and am afraid I won't like the results again, so I'm having a hard time being inspired.

AND YET ... I have time for this:


I ended up being co-team mom (with Heidi) for Aubrey's (and Hannah's) soccer team. This weekend is the final touraments for her and Jon's teams. I decided to have fun and make these adorable (3 day process) cookies. See, you have time to do whatever it is you WANT to do. Ha!

The soccer season was great! Brandon's team ended their season last week. They came in 2nd for their level. Aubrey's team didn't do as well, but she was invited to try-out for the All-Stars team. And Jon just loves being out there. He is a hustler and tries to do whatever it is that the coach tells him. He's always on the field yelling, "I'm open, I'm open" ... even when he's not. Great season!

this post is SO true - the cookies are awesome, by the way! I have time to look at your blog, but I havent showered yet, weird? whose idea was this crazy ornament exchange anyway, i'm on attempt #3 (it's all worth it in the end, right?) you can work on them on the way to mammoth (we have snow pants for john, and maybe aubrey if you want?)

Love the cookies! You're not actually going to let the kids eat them after working for 3 days on them are you?!

The cookies look great. Have fun in Mammouth. I am sure the ornaments you made were great. Your are too hard on yourself. I love reading about what you are doing.

Ha! Melanie, I hadn't thought about that as an option. Too funny!

Those cookies are adorable! You could make cookies for your ornament exchange. I doubt they would last long enough to be hung on the tree. They look way too yummy!
