Procrastinators unite!!!....tomorrow...
Procrastination is a horrible affliction....
As a human being, there are many qualities about myself that I do not like...procrastination maybe the worst...
Procrastination just wreaks pure havoc on an already ridiculously busy and overwhelming life...
It's amazing that we have five children, because as we all know, you can not put off child birth...that sucker is coming out...quite jarring to a professional putter-offer 'til tomorrow like myself..
With a large young family, come many things....like endless amounts of invitations to birthday parties...we had six birthday parties last week alone...
Now, I know these events are inevitably coming; because certain organized, non-procrastinating parents, purchased, filled out and actually mailed in a timely fashion, said invitations (I hate these people).
I have been provided with all the information needed; date, time, place (oh goody, which bacteria infested "indoor playground" or pedophile manned laser tag center will we be attending this time?)..yet, we still do it Christine Hurley style....
Picture this please; party starts at 1:00, we have a 20 minute drive..we hop in the car at 1:10, drive directly to the mall.....sprint into the video game store and purchase the latest must have graphic killing spree XBOX game from the 42 year old "gamer" clerk who is, not surprisingly, dead behind his eyes....
Hop in the car, off we go......."aren't we gonna wrap it?" my youngest yells from the back seat; (hard to hear him over the hum of the engine going mach 10)...I immediately go into my McGyver mode, pulling an Ocean State Job Lot flyer out of the backseat from my earlier mail retrieval...I rip it in half, and throw it back to my minions....."wrap it!"...."But mommy, we have no tape"...."throw it back to mommy".....think, think, think...
A quick chew on an old piece of nicorette gum I found on the bottom of my purse should do just fine....
God, the stress....I need a cigarette....

Okay....let's see if I can figure this out...
Well, this is it....my virginal voyage into "blogland"....I am actually very excited about this because it will force me to exercise my very lazy "creative" and "imaginative" muscles....thank you to my followers...please bear with me....
It is 9:00 p.m. at the Hurley hacienda, and things are still very busy here....I am attempting to blog, the two boys, Joe and Brendan are trying to complete homework, (which in true Hurley fashion was given to them both on Monday, due tomorrow,...and we are just starting it now...Testify!!!)....my two preteen girls are up in their room, definitely not cleaning it...honest to God, if I remove one more 1/2 full Poland Springs bottle from that pit....right fellow parents????? I am sure they are doing something constructive... possibly planning their escape... Our oldest is at the gym with her best friend Maggie....God bless them both....one good brain between the two of them. If those two put forth one eighth of the effort towards their 4 years of very expensive private high school that they put into "prom preparation"...we'd be carpooling to MENSA....
Jimmy Hurley is out cold in his recliner....the t.v. clicker is moving up and down on top of his stomach....sexy....it just fell, batteries everywhere....
Our youngest, Brendan, makes his First Communion in two days.....Our oldest's First Communion was like a coronation.....Good God....I haven't even bought this poor kid a tie...he is a teeny little guy...8 years old and he wears a 5 toddler...I wonder if I still have time to order a white suit from "Build a Bear"
Seven years ago, when we arrived to the church, late, for his Baptism, we were horrified to realize we forgot something....Brendan....he was fine, all wrapped up in his car seat, sleeping soundly on our dining room table.....probably the most sound sleep the poor kid has ever had...
I really envy, yet secretly hate organized people....poor Jimmy Hurley actually hired a professional organizer for me a few years ago....she was lovely...but I found myself completely tuning out to everything she was suggesting...all i heard was a sound similar to Charlie Brown's teacher...I just wanted her to go so I could tear up the leftover chicken pad thai calling to me from my fridge......that poor woman..
i really am going to try to be more organized....
