Today: My Nemesis
Hello! My, my, my, Lou is feeling a little scattered. Seriously. I have days (heh, weeks) where I could be perfectly happy never leaving my house. Now, I know I need to leave my house. There are errands to run, groceries to buy, people to please- and here I sit, totally unmotivated. I even canceled a dental appointment I had this morning because I don’t wanna move my butt.
This is probably because I spent all of last week running nonstop. I have found that I have one week out of every month where every thing that I need to do will be scheduled. The other three weeks I could spend sitting on my couch picking my nose, and the world wouldn’t care. Last week I had 2 dentist appointments, a school appointment, two kid appointments, visiting teaching, and then because I wasn’t pooped by Saturday, I went and taught four classes at the Nook. It was great, but I’m out of energy.
Tonight I’m teaching a scrap class for some people in Chris’ squadron. Do I have any idea what I’m doing yet? Um, not really. They weren’t overly specific about what they wanted and so I’m kind of making it up as I go along. I think it will be a card and a small project- focus on techniques, not pages. . .or something like that. Hopefully I have a few brain cells left tonight.
I went to a great church meeting on Sunday. I got there early to make sure that I would have a seat, and while I waited, I took all of the obligations swirling around in my head and I put them down in a list so I could focus enough to listen. It worked, but now I’m terrified of a seemingly innocuous piece of paper because looking at it will make me have to get up and do something.
I have no commitments tomorrow, but as soon as I look at that list I won’t have a minute’s peace. Thursday, on the other hand, is so packed that it requires a sitter, which I still need to find. Oddly enough, the following week is shaping up hectic as well, and it is forecasted to remain that way through February 16th! What gives? I thought I had no life.






I totally know how you feel… especially when the REALLY cold weather here in MN sets in…were talking -50 below windchill today and tomorrow~~ YIKES!

You are so amazing! Every time I see your blog I am impressed. I love seeing your projects and reading your great writing. Seriously, you are super talented. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for posting that tutorial…hopefully I will get to try making one of those boxes soon. They are really neat. My kiddos may or may not agree with my taking time to do it, but soon, I hope! Thanks again!

You have a life, but now that you have the responsibility of a husband and kids, your life is no longer your own. Good luck getting everything done.
