Never Put It Off Until Tomorrow

For me it had been a busy few days. I had tons of running errands and things to take care of. It was make dinner, eat dinner and run to the next thing, "We'll get to those dishes when we get back" (or not), and "Oh just put the mail in a pile I'll sort it when I have time later." You know how it goes, your so busy doing this that and the other thing that the house goes to pot around you.

As I said, it had been a busy few days and I was tired! I had an early appointment the next morning and had my Aunt coming to baby-sit first thing.

Did I mention I was really tired? Anyway, I decided that instead of cleaning up the disaster that was my house I would set my alarm and get up extra early to get it all done before my Aunt came the next morning.

The alarm I used was on my cell phone and, having been so busy and tired, I neglected to make sure it was charged. As you can probably guess, the phone died during the night and I woke up to my Aunt knocking on my door. Talk about embarrassed, not only did she walk into my "most unorganized moment" but I was also so late that I didn't even have time to take a shower before my appointment.

I try not to put things off anymore. You know, don't put off till tomorrow what you can get done today.
