My To-Do list

What can be said about procrastination? When I am staring at the mountain of things on my To-Do list and just keep adding more (and the ones I add are things I've done anyway just so I can check them off!)?
Why do I do this? I have these huge projects before me: paint the kitchen, fix the leak in the pipes that's causing water to seep into the basement, downsize our belongings by half, finish my masters, and so on.... Yet all I want to do is sit here at the computer and surf and read trashy gossip or sit and watch Norah blow spit bubbles. I don't see much hope for myself. And yet the laundry continues to pile up.
I can't imagine working full time in the fall, and yet sometimes I feel like I was more efficient with the house-keeping when I was working full time. Oh wait, that was before these kids came along. I'm sure I could keep a perfect home and accomplish everything on my To-Do list if I didn't have to run around wiping noses and bottoms and cleaning up after someone (or three someones?). But I tell you what, there's nothing in the world that could make me give up the time I spend with my kids. Not even the allure of an accomplished To-Do list.
