What You Gotta do

I don’t know about you but I tend to be a person who can do whatever it takes when it comes down to ‘gotta do it’ but I’ll procrastinate forever on something that only takes a few minutes if it isn’t something I want to do. There has been a patch of weeds that has grown higher than my head right outside the garage door by the house. Pulling them would only take a few minutes, but I walked past them for months. Today I decided I wanted the picnic table over by the garage because Bob and I sat outside last night and I had my laptop with me, just playing around and was thrilled I could be online outside so I decided it would be even better with a picnic table there instead of balancing the computer on my lap. Cleaned out them weeds in no time today, moved the picnic table and now it’s nice and pretty again outside my backdoor. Only took about ten minutes. Why is it that I couldn’t make myself do it before? I knew it wouldn’t take that long. Yes, I’m busy. Really. Between taking care of the animals, taking care of my mother in law, doing my work everyday, I work from morning til night, but those weeds were getting on my nerves–and I still walked by them instead of taking 10 minutes to clear them out. Maybe someday I’ll learn to quit procrastinating and just take 10 and get it done. It would have been nice and pretty not to mention much easier to walk around all this time. At least I got it done now, oh, hey, I just thought about why it was easier… Bob was home today and I made HIM pull the weeds, haha. That’s it.
