To Do List

Why do we take on so many things to do!!

Last night I sat down and wrote a list of all the things I have coming up that I needed to do within the next 2 weeks. The list takes up the whole page and they are not little things. Sew a princess costume, figure out how the heck to make a policeman costume, paint a billboard for the Fire Dept, co-chair the book fair, paint 4 sheets of plywood worth of Halloween decorations for the fall festival, cut out 24 calendars for a class, plan a stamp party for Tues (that's what I am supposed to be doing now). And there is more!

And so what do I do -- I stay up late, get up early and end up tired and stressing to finish it all and not even enjoy doing any of it. Which by the way is the reason I agreed to most of these projects in the first place. Did I tell you Halloween is pretty close to my fav holiday?

Tonight I was running out to my stamp shop to get some paper. I was in such a hurry -- and the the motion light did not detect my motion -- I ran straight into a pile of logs that Robin has sitting in the driveway. Great place huh! Literally landed on my face on the other side. Now I have battle scars that my kids will be proud of. Plus I wrinkled the last 2 sheets of Lavendar Lace cardstock. Robin would really be making a face if he heard me say that.

Anyway. It all comes down to trying to do too much stuff! Is this the first time I have been in this position -- NO. Will it be the last -- I'm sure it won't. They say that a smart person learns from their mistakes. Where exactly does that leave me right now!

OK -- Does anyone know why my "enters" for line spacing keep disappearing?? Sorry it's so hard to read this!
