Procrastination....No More!

Webster defines procrastination as "Jennifer LeAnn Zarzour Ferguson." I never try to hide this. It is the way I have gotten through everything in my life. From studying for tests in high school in my car on the way to school, to writing my maid of honor toast the morning of my sister's wedding, to never having a bag packed for either child in my 39th week of pregnancy.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am on top of things and I am NEVER late to get something done, but it is very characteristic of me to wrap it up at the last minute.
Well, I really do not know what has gotten into me this season, but getting things done early doesn't even describe it.

1. I have already made, ordered, and received our family's Christmas card (which is amazing).

2. I have already bought all of my Christmas presents, some of which are monogrammed.

3. I have about 1/3 of the house decorated and have contracted an illness named, "Cantstopabuying holidaystuff"

4. Went through all of Ryan's toys and got rid of the stuff that had lived it's time at our house to get ready for the goods I am sure are coming this way in the next month.

5. Since we went through all of Ryan's toys I told her we had to donate them to kids less fortunate, so we took them to the local thrift store. Well, a totally shocking thing happened when we walked in at 2:15. We were greeted with a balloon for every kid and a sign that said, "Come Visit Santa Clause from 2-5!" I mean taking the kids to see Santa before Thanksgiving- who am I???!!!!

It's funny how proud I am for getting all of these things done already, but I really hope it will help alleviate some of the stresses that comes along with the season and just help my family and me focus on what really matters this Christmas.
