I am my own worst enemy

I have a confession.  I am an avoider.  If there is something I just don't want to do, even though I HAVE to, I will make it soooo hard on myself.  National Boards for example.  It is the latest thing I am avoiding.  I have done the teaching required for the entry I am redoing, but I just don't want to write about it.  So I think I have to trick myself into it.  It is only one entry.  The teaching was awesome.  I was ONE stinking point away from passing last time.  I CAN do this.  Yes, that is me pep-talking myself...but as I have titled this post, I am my own worst enemy, so I have to be my own cheerleader as well.  I have to counter-act the negative self talk going on in my head right now.  I have avoided writing ALL DAY.  And here it is 8 minutes to midnight.  I told myself I will not sleep until I write something significant, something I can use.  A rambling, ranting blog post doesn't count.  So I think I am going to use this blog to help me sort my answers to the questions.  Feel free to interject!  I hadn't realized until tonight that anyone was leaving comments on the blog itself rather than just Facebook, so I will be sure to read them.  So I am about to collect my thoughts and try to get something meaningful written in the following posts...
