I'm back with my Friday Fun Blog.  It's been several weeks, I know.  It's very easy to get distracted and keep telling yourself that you'll do it later.  I also have that nasty "blog block."  But I've decided to take a few minutes and blog now even if I don't know where it will lead.

Actually, this does lead to a good topic.  How many of us continually put off taking care of something for whatever reason?  I know I am terribly guilty of procrastination but it's something that I have been working hard on for the past year.  I've learned that the anxiety of putting it off is just as bad, so I just jump in and make that awkward phone call or whatever it is that I'm avoiding. 

Procrastination seems harmless in most cases but what about putting off something important like your health?  We tell ourselves that we'll make that physical appointment when we have a day off, get around to making that call or many other reasons.  Maybe it's fear of what might be found or the embarrassment of knowing you've not taken care of yourself as well as you should have since you last saw your doctor.  It's important to make that appointment now! 

We moms are guilty of taking care of everyone else before we do ourselves, but if we don't take care of us, we might not be around to take care of the ones we love.  So, right now, pick up your phone and call your doctor.  If you already have children, your babies need their mom.  If you don't have children yet, get in to make sure that you're in the best possible health to give them a great start when you do.  Don't put it off any longer!
