Coping Mechanism

No, I have not found the frickin paintbrushes. It's practically driving me insane. Or perhaps I was already driven insane by the little boy in my class today who said, "Oh snap!" at least seven times. It's hard not to chuckle when he says that. But the chuckling stops when you remember that he has two fathers and he probably picked up "Oh snap!" from the one father that works at a hair salon. I kid you not.

Here are the things that I need to do:

1. Find the frickin paintbrushes.
2. Do calligraphy on wedding invitations.
3. Email my advisor and FIGURE OUT GRADUATE SCHOOL because I am a waste of space and excellent at procrastinating in this arena.
4. Read 20 pages of the Bible study and answer all the questions before tomorrow night.
5. Give myself a pedicure and manicure before 7:20 tonight.
6. Lift weights and do crunches.
7. Read a couple of articles on gifted learners and then write a couple of paragraphs summarizing my (nonexistent) thoughts. I MUST do this tonight because I have to submit it tomorrow in order to finish my G/T Certification.
8. Finish thawing the chicken; cook the chicken and other items for dinner.
9. Put the clothes in the dryer, take them out, iron them.

Would you like to know what I'm going to do instead? Publish this post and then go to the bathroom (probably TMI). Then I'm going to crawl onto my bed in the fetal position and take a nap. This list sends me over the edge.
