• to do

  good morning, world.

  listen.

  life got busy.  MY GOODNESS.  there are so very many things I need to be working on.  BUt, sometimes, even if it's written down, i get totally overwhelmed, stand up to do something, spin in a circle and then sit back down because i don't know where to begin!  But, if i just spin in circles, i suppose i won't accomplish a thing.

  so, i probably should start somewhere.  and just keep doing the things that need to be done.  and lucky for me, i have three "helpers" to "help" me.  

  have you ever tried to build an igloo outta milk jugs.  totally overwhelming.

  have you ever tried to drive to hobby lobby 80 times in a week to pick up random craft supplies and keep wishing there was a hobby lobby in the middle of all the 546 strores that are actually really close to your house?  completely overwhelming.

  have you ever tried to buy winter-themed fleece at hobby lobby in the summer  and discovered (not surprised) that there's none, so the project becomes more complicated when suddenly you gotta add homemade snowflakes to solid colored fleece instead.  overwhelming.

  (have you ever wondered what the bible school curriculum creators were thinking when they themed it Polar Extremes in the middle of July?)

  have you ever had half your kitchen & half your family room flooring torn up in order to replace it with NEW NEW NEW wood floor! (garage sale special!!  yay!)  (i know you have, missy!)

  have you ever had a really, really brilliant (not my brillance, someone else's) project to work on--that you REALLY want to spend time on...but have other fun but overwhelming things to work on.  overwhelming!

  have you ever had a weekend full of all this stuff AND A QUARTER AUCTION??  I know, right?  overwhelming, but i HAVE to go.  it's too fun to miss (and i might be addicted.)
  
  eeeeeeek!  but see.  now that i've written that all out, it doesn't seem so bad!
  okay then...i guess starting with a shower would be good.  here i go!

  I'm 28 now, ya know.  I should be able to accomplish miracles---since i'm SO OLD and SO WISE. (right?  wisdom comes with age? and i'm practically wrinkled.)

  hugs and smooches and off i go!

  happy friday!
