My Weekend To-Do List

So I have mentioned before that I am currently writing a thesis for my MA degree.  I try not to drag it into this blog too often (the poor project gets dragged into just about every other aspect of my life), but let me just give you a peek into my weekend:

While I find this comic hilarious, the sad truth is that my to-do list really has experienced this transformation.  Laundry became pressing, closet organization critical, and e-mails simply couldn't go a few minutes without being answered.  In the list of ways I love my thesis, I am currently weeping the absence of pages:

My third chapter is due next Friday.  One week.  For the sake of utter and embarrassing honesty...I still have 20 pages that need to be written.  In the past two weeks I have been "working" on my thesis, I have managed to eek out a measly 3 pages.  3 ya'll.  3.  Pathetic by any standard.  My superpower of procrastination has also left me in an even worse predicament:  in just a few hours, my kiddos (aka undergraduate students) will be taking a midterm. Which means that I also have this to look forward to:

Oh boy!  What a weekend/week ahead of me.  It's just a week, right?  In a week I'll be laughing about this sleeping.  Ha.  Anyone else have problems with procrastination?  Grand tips so that I don't dig myself into a hole for the next deadline?  I am so kicking myself now.

I hope you all have wonderful plans for the weekend.  Let me live vicariously through you!  You know what I think you should do?  Check out THIS BLOG because tomorrow they are starting their adoption auction!  Side note...I just LOVE their blog design--isn't it just the cutest?  And don't worry, I haven't forgotten to update you on our own auction!  I can count the number of people who I still need to donate on one hand and hope to announce our grand total very very soon!

Much love,
