Procrastination

I am an expert. I have an essay due in on 6th November which is the Tuesday after half term so needs to be completed today - I help in DS2's class tomorrow so today is my last day. I am sitting here unable to proceed though. arrgghh. The solicitor sent me an e-mail this morning and I am focusing on that and making it an excuse not to get on with essay writing. The Defendant's solicitor has asked for more information on causation and the QC has just written it out so the solicitor has to check with me if it's ok to send it. That means, however, that I have to read it all again and to be honest I am trying to forget. On top of that DS's one-to-one teacher had a word with me this morning about his latest thing which unfortunately is taking off his pants when he undresses at school for PE or gym trail - which he had this morning. Apparently, in year 4, this kind of thing is unacceptable. Usually I would not still be focused on this 5 hours after the conversation but to re-read and re-remember the brain damage makes me think...this is how it will always be. Maybe I should get on with the essay and stop making up excuses.

Oh as an update the Trust's solicitors have until 31st January 2013 to respond now not the 13th the solicitor transposed the date. Made me feel better to know they weren't being facetious to request an extension and have a new deadline of a Sunday.
