Promises kept.

Back when I started this blog, I promised myself that I would remember to blog at least once a month. I never thought it would be a difficult promise, but it turns out it is. I'm beginning to feel a bit flaky, not like a biscuit, but like the kind of person that makes promises that forgets to follow through on. I've spent all my life trying to meet other's expectations of me, whether it was my mother who demanded straight A's to my husband's idea of the perfect wife. Most of my friends understand when I have difficulty following through on something (yes, Misty, I haven't forgotten those gift cards!) because they are also going through something similar in one way or another.

Most of my problems stem from an innate ability to take on more than I can handle. My guess is I just don't know how to say no. Trust me, I've practiced this on more than one occasion. Each time I try, I fail miserably. Some would call this a major character flaw. I call it selective ignorance. When I commit to something, I conveniently "forget" everything else that I have commitments to and go do whatever it is I am being asked to do. The only problem with this system is it leaves me in a position of constantly playing catch-up with the other items. At the present time it would take me about three months to catch-up with everything I have on my plate.

My life is starting to look like I need something like a "system restore", where I can just hit a restart button and all my unfinished work will vanish. Sounds like a winner to me. Now if I can just find the damn button.....

At least I posted in August!
