Procrastination at it's finest

As I'm thinking how to write this blog, a little play on Sam Cooke's "It's Another Saturday Night" but changing the words to "It's another Sunday night and I'm procrastinating... getting everything done can be so aggravating.." I'm tired and can't think of anything else snappy to add there...

I started taking a welding class at local technical center. It is hard, but it's good. Today, I took a class at LLBean in Freeport (I was in Maine for the short weekend). I took clay shooting which was also hard. It was good to have more practice shooting a shotgun than I did in my hunter safety course, but it was hard. One of the teachers told me I should take the 1/2 day course that's more intense for shotgun. I'll look into it, because I'd like to go out with my dad and go duck hunting. Get my dad off the farm for a couple of hours or so.

While I was in Maine this weekend (the main reason- haha- was to see my nephew in a soccer tournament), I was talking to my brother and his wife about how school was going, and how I was feeling overwhelmed because I haven't been in this role for 7 years and I just want to know everything and for everything to come easy. I (finally) realized that I have to be patient. My never ending pursuit!! It's hard to not feel depressed or impatient when everyone else has their stuff  together and they make everything look so easy, when I'm at school until 6pm and still running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I know, I know. Breathe. It will come. Patience.

That reminds me of another song... "Patience.... yeah...ah..." Ah, Guns N Roses... good 80's band. So for all of you folks who have had a change in your life- being a grandmother, being a husband/wife/mother/father, a new job, or what have you, please don't think perfection will just switch on it's light for you. You work at it and have patience. You and I will work on that.

Just like Bob here. We all need to take Baby Steps.
