Still Just Spinning my Wheels
The days just keep slipping away from me. I don’t feel like I’m sitting still all day long, but night rolls around and the vast majority of the piles of work are still sitting right where I left them. I can’t figure it out.
I managed three loads of laundry, but you still can’t walk through my laundry room because of all the dirty laundry. One appointment for the kids is out of the way, but there are three more in the next two weeks. Meals have been prepared, but the teenage boys still come by and tell me they are hungry eight or nine times a day. I vacuumed yesterday, this morning you can’t tell. I’m pretty sure I cleaned off the kitchen counters, but they are covered with dishes yet again.
I need to get some sewing done, I don’t think I’ve touched the machine in a week or so. I have things cut out for RM that I’d like to stitch together before she outgrows them. I started fleece jackets for all the guys last February. I’m sure they’d appreciate them before another round of cold weather comes and goes.
So much time gets eaten up by RM. Shame on me for complaining about my wonderful little girl, but it does get frustrating sometimes with so many other responsibilities as well. She’s very independent these days, and doesn’t want the constant holding anymore, but with the locomotion comes the increased need for supervision. She invents new ways to get in trouble. TR just found her down the hallway dragging the silverware basket out of the dishwasher. We put that up, and now she has the phone. I’m just hoping she isn’t calling some long lost friend in China, or 911. She frequently manages to speed dial home on the cell phone. Consequently we aren’t programming any more speed dials. Grandma loves her, but probably doesn’t want four or five calls from her in a row.
I have managed a few more crochet projects. I have bad hands and wrists, but they’ve been feeling pretty good lately so I’m trying to finish stuff I need, and stuff I want while I can.
One more diaper soaker down:
I need to stop with the shorties now and start on some longies. The temperatures are in the 90’s still, but won’t be forever.
Then, shame on me, I did a project just for fun. Found this pattern through an online group and had to make myself one. It was something easy to work on in short bits and pieces of time. That’s an excellent thing for me, all I really have to myself is short bits and pieces of time.
Of course I changed the pattern just a little bit, like I nearly always do, but it’s essentially the same bag.
Now it’s time to head out and do something productive before this day totally gets away from me too. Wish me luck.
