I have it all figured out now!
The reasoning behind my procrastination that is. It hit me like a ton of bricks as I was doing my hair this morning & I can't believe I haven't figured it out before! I am constantly hurrying up, just to wait... you know the constant in any military wives life. The Army dictates everything in my life (well not everything but you know), and does so at its own leisurely pace. It is decided by them when I will see my husband & for how long, how often he has time off, when he can & can't call, when he comes home, etc etc. Because of all of this, I can justify making Cam wait on me, its only fair (at least thats how I see it). Some days I can get ready for the day in under an hour, some days I can take up to 3-4 hours... it just really depends on what I feel and what the plans are. I truly expect to hear minimal to zero griping, damnit I have to wait for you! Besides, what guy doesn't appreciate the waiting after the finished product emerges? I think of it like this, they're all willing and ready to wait for that cool new video game console and the games to go with it... whats the difference? Cam has learned to keep his mouth quiet on how long I take to get ready, its been a hard lesson for him though. He likes to throw around that he "can get ready & do everything he needs to in 15 minutes" and while yes thats true on any normal day it is very very false when it comes time to dress up. Thats right, when he has to dress up he's worse than I am about his appearance and how his shirt looks & pulling 3 or 4 out of his closet "just to see". I have informed Cam that unless he wants to live with and look at Cruella DeVille he should say nothing about my procrastination. Sadly, my procrastination doesn't end at getting ready for the day. I am quite leisurely about folding laundry, leaving to go to a store, school work, ok ok I'll be honest I am a proud & true life procrastinator. I have married my match though, he can be just as guilty about procrastination... unless he waits until 30 minutes before a store closes and just has to go. In which case, I have no desire to go... why in the world would I want to go to Bass Pro Shop 30 minutes before closing, or the gun store? Anywhere really, I remember working retail & I HATED those customers... could've killed them! Cam has never been graced with the pleasure of working retail, so he doesn't understand. I am also a habitually late person, usually its somewhere between 5 and 20 minutes late, but its late nonetheless. I really try not to be, but theres always something that jumps in front of me to cause it! Cam complains about this too... go figure huh? Damn you military for making him so punctual! I would like to say though, that when Cam would bring me to work before we were married, HE MADE ME LATE! I would be ready to go with enough time to get some food and get to work on time, he would be lazy & want 15 more minutes, or not start his car to defrost it. Leaving me late & then fussing at me, WELL HELLO GRANDPA, IF YOU'RE GOING TO PROCRASTINATE IN THE HOUSE... SPEED ON THE ROAD TO MAKE UP FOR IT. But Cam's driving is a whole blog in itself. Anyways, I'm glad I have an answer to why I procrastinate... it all makes sense to me now. I should've known I was going to marry a military member a long time ago in my life, I just never put 2 & 2 together.
