~Avoidance tactics!~

I have been avoiding so much lately! Bills, taxes, housework, my dog!

Just took care of one bill, and have all the paperwork for the taxes gathered.............*sigh* Will have to face it sooner or later..........avoidance juts seems to really make it worse in the lo9ng run.but..LOL..I guess I think it buys me time in the short run to not have to feel uncomfortable.

Some days reality just sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could I pleeeeeaase be banned from this site for a few hours??!!! LOL......I have absolutely NO control or willpower.....and am having such fun hunting eggs(a/k/a avoiding a bunch of stuff) I won't get very much more done today!!!

I'd rather get smacked upside my head than deal with taxes!! we already owe sooo much, I mess up my husband will divorce me for sure! He may not be in in time to take them and have them done........and I told him I would do it..........*smacking myself upside the head*



I don't wanna deal with anything today...............LOL!!!!!!!!!

Go do it! I have to finish mine today and I've been avoiding too. I've added mine up until June. I'm doing laundry today and adding the rest. You can do this! I'll start taking eggs out of your basket if you don't, lol.

You know.....it is ok to avoid every ONCE IN AWHILE. That is, to allow oneself to recharge.

The problem starts when one KEEPS AVOIDING. (Like I'm doing right now.) But, if we're aware that we're doing this, there's always hope. And if we take it one step at a time......it won't seem overwhelming.
