What is it about me that needs and thrives off of structure, planning, cleanliness, and organization yet dreads some activities that involve just that?
A few examples:
I don't mind dusting and vacuuming our bedroom but I hate washing dishes and cleaning the bathrooms.
I love to pencil in appointments and due dates on my calendar but I hate opening gmail and reading through my emails especially if I have to respond.
I love the feeling after a great walk or workout at the gym when I happen to go but I hate, really hate, thinking all day, "I NEED to go this afternoon" so much that a lot of times I talk myself out of it.
I love to buy a few new garments or accessories every once in a while when I find something great unexpectedly or on sale but when I have a gift card or money saved up and go out to look for something I get overwhelmed and want to give up 10 minutes after I start shopping.
My car needs gas but I hate stopping to get it and the same goes for grocery shopping... i love food and a stocked and organized pantry/fridge but I usually dread the grocery store.
And I love my little dog more than any other little dog in the world but why do I say for weeks, "I need to get her groomed" or "bathe her and comb her out 1,000,000 times" before I make the appointment?
Those are just to name a few.
I really do wonder why I have so many inner hesitations about little stuff that really aren't that big of a deal. It is odd. Or is it normal? What are some things you dread or put off that make you feel good once you get it done?

I put off folding the boys laundry as long as possible. I have no problem washing and folding it but I can not stand folding all there little clothes and organizing it in their drawers. Its too much small stuff.
I hope all is well =). Life is crazy now with two little boys, but I love every minute of it.
