Through thick and through thin.

Alright. I promised i'd stick with it, so here we are. Hmmm, have any of you noticed that the number one distraction from homework is turning on your computer? Whenever I turn it on I have to check everything and that leads to posting and writing and commenting and all the rest. The whole process takes at least a half hour if not more and by the time i'm done with that I feel like I should play a game of spider solitaire or hearts to reward myself for all the hard work I just finished...so I play a few games and start to think "well, I should probably stop soon, I guess i'll stop when I win a game." Of course, my luck/skill at that point takes a plunge and I end up playing a lot longer than I expected. By this time, of course it's time for dinner. So I go down and set the table etc. Then Mr. S comes home and we sit down and the next hour or so is put towards eating and chatting. Then maybe Senora will offer coffee or dessert of some kind. So another half hour goes by. So it's about 7:30 at this point and I finally go upstairs to do homework. And there it is. Calling to me oh so softly, "maryn...Maryn...MARYN!!!" How can I just ignore it?! The computer comes back on and I go through the whole checking process all over again just in case someone left a comment or an e-mail in the past hour and a half. Then perhaps someone will sign on to AIM or Google Talk and how can I just ignore them? Of course I have to say "hi" at least...which goes on until I start to get tired and think about sleep. So I say goodbye, turn off my computer, get ready for bed and think, "well, it isn't due until (insert date) anyways, I still have plenty of time." Yes, this is what you encourage in me. Geesh!! Not really. I admit to exaggeration, but it does sometime seem that way. The best laid plans and all that. Oh, there's the smell of dinner, time to set the table...
