Procrastination refers to the counterproductive deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. For some people, procrastination can be persistent and tremendously disruptive to everyday life. For these individuals, procrastination may be symptomatic of a psychological disorder such as ADHD. I was a procrastinator. With out the stress, I found it hard to really think clearly. I wonder if I had ADHD as a child. I was always dreaming my life away. Thomas has a German assignment that should be handed in tomorrow. He has had 4 weeks to do it. Guess when he started it? Oh boy! On the one hand how can I be hard on him when I was the same way? But school in Germany is like 100 times harder then any American school. He is not going to pass if he continues to procrastinate like this! I ask him every day, did you do your home work. I get a yes...but now I need to check closer. I feel like we are on a tight rope, trying to balance between being too pushy and showing enough over sight. Letting go, and still parenting.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
