Should vs Do

I feel like I have a constant running dialogue in my head (or maybe it's voices and the men in white coats are on their way to take me away ;) ). It goes something like this: I should get in to the right lane now, now...Doh! I should have gotten in to the right lane!

So here's a list of the typical things I should do vs. the things I actually do:
  • Should wash my face at night vs. Splash water on my face at night
  • Should pay my bills as soon as I get them vs. Leave them until the last minute and incur late fess
  • Should make the phone calls I need to make vs. Procrastinate until I can no longer wait (and then chastise myself for waiting so long)
  • Should talk less and listen more vs. Talk more and listen less
  • Should have patience and let my kinds help me cook, etc... vs. Turn on the TV and hope my kids are enthralled enough to sit still and leave me alone
  • Should get timely haircuts vs. Let my hair grow out and wear it in a pony tail until I get my butt to my hairdresser
  • Should go to the dentist/doctor every six months vs. Go to the dentist/doctor every two years
  • Should look through my clothes and ebay what I don't wear vs. look at my closet and do nothing
  • Should save money and go to the library vs. I saved money by bringing my lunch so I can buy books, right?
  • Should not eat fried food, drink more water, be healthier vs. yummy fries and garlicky ranch dressing (cheesecake factory)!!!

So those are my top ten. Please comment and let me know your "should have" vs. "do"s! Misery does love company ;)
