My thoughts lately, oddly enough, have been consumed with third grade math. #3 child is currently finishing up her second grade math book and now has just 9 pages left. I have been needing (and saying) to order the next book for quite some time and I keep putting it off. Why do we procrastinate? 

I have no doubt that if it were something fun that I needed to order, like a great new book or an outfit, that I would have rushed to the computer and hit "add to cart" upon first thinking of it. It isn't something fun though. It represents more work for me, and if I don't order it then I will have a few days off from teaching third grade math.

I can't help but think how many decisions in my life I have procrastinated about and how much trouble I could have avoided if only I had dealt with the issue the first time that I thought about it. Do you ever feel like some of the things that are "wrong" in your life are the result of procrastination? Maybe things would be different if you had only....(you fill in the blank). 

I am trying to learn to avoid living in the past and live for today instead. Now, I need to go order that math curriculum!
