I Need Help!

I have a serious condition and I need one of you to help me find a cure.

My name is Bridgette and I'm a procrastinator.

Because of this, I will be extremely busy this week doing things I could've done a month ago.

*****

Danae got mad with me last week. We were in a store looking at baby clothes. I picked up some baby girl clothes and she asked if it was for her sister. I told her it's for another baby. She told me I don't need to buy clothes for another baby because she has a sister who needs clothes. I reminded her that her sister won't be here for a few months. That girl is nothing if not loyal to her siblings. She can beat Brayden down but will kill someone else for messing with him. Crazy!

*****

Brayden now has the habit of getting in his sister's bed to sleep with her at night. The problem is he sleeps so wild that he ends up kicking her out of her own bed. And, she won't sleep in his bed because she still sees it as a crib even though it's been converted to the toddler bed. So, she comes to my room whining about Brayden. Of course, his response is that he loves Danae. How can you be mad with that one? But, we still make him get out. She needs her beauty sleep, you know.

I'm sorry you got in trouble for buying Bethany some clothes. Did you tell her that people might buy her sister some clothes and that she could wear some of Danae's old clothes? She probably wouldn't go for that huh?
You procrastinate because you know you have time.

I have no advice on the procrastination thing. I have been home for 13 weeks and only have one more to go. I have not completed more than half the things on my list that need to be done and time is running out!

And cute story about the kids. Brayden get out of your sisters bed!

YOU ONLY PROCRASTINATE BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THIS CYCLE IS JUST MAKE YOURSELF DO IT.

BROTHER AND SISTERLY LOVE. ISN'T THAT NICE. TELL DANAE SHE BETTER KICK HIM OUT OF THE BED SO SHE CAN GET HER BEAUTY REST.

Some people work best under pressure or so they say. But as a for the most part reformed procrastinator I'd say the busier you are the more efficient you become b/c it is human nature to take as long as you have to do something.

Cute story. I remember Lori & I used to do that unfortunately I wanted my space before she was ready to go but I remember we used to have so much fun for hours after we were supposed to be asleep.

Listen to me - STOP PROCRASTINATING!!! Listen to me - STOP PROCRASTINATING!!! Remember, God is watching and you need to STOP PROCRASTINATING!!! O.K. Did that help? If not, I will keep you in my prayers.

The stories were too funny. I can't wait to see our two children sleeping in the same bed together because they can't sleep in ours. There is nothing like the bond you have with your siblings.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s

Baby Making (Or Not)

So, as I've said before, I'm getting my tubes tied this year. I have had so many people tell me they don't agree with this. I've been told that I should let God decide how many children we have or ask him to close my womb. I should wait and see if I want more children in the future. It's too permanent. What if something happens to my children and I decide I want more later. I honestly didn't expect to run in to so much opposition. First of all, it's my body and my decision. Secondly, I am absolutely sure that I don't want more children. And lastly, it really is my decision. The funny thing is that my friend who has 5 children has received a lot of criticism for the size of her family and was told repeatedly that she should've gotten her tubes tied. Now, there are other circumstances in that particular family that would warrant such remarks. But my point is that people are never satisfied. If we continued to have children, I'm sure someone would s

Christmas in September?

Apparently, living in Manila is going to provide plenty of material for me to write about. Here goes: We have been provided several books to help us adapt to life in the Philippines. Something we read was very beneficial for us yesterday. We went to SM which is a department store, furniture store, grocery store, and several restaurants all in one. Danae had to use the bathroom and guess what? There was no toilet tissue. No, they didn't run out. They don't put tissue in the bathrooms at all. No empty tissue holder or anything. Because I read about that, I had a little tissue stowed in my bag to use. In the grocery store, the most overwhelming shock was the stench. The entire back of the store is basically a butcher shop. Surprisingly, there were no flies or anything. But, the smell was gross. Danae held her nose while we looked around in there. I wasn't bold enough to purchase any meat yet. One day, maybe. Or, we'll just become vegetarians while we're here. In the cl
