November 9, 2012. San Jose, California. My unfinished project pile includes a 4th of July Wreath, Felt Flower Hair Clips, Fabric Car Organizer, and Re-Painting my Dining Chairs. Not shown: make applesauce (with those apples from Apple Hill), make a felt quiet book for Hazel, Read the next chapter in "Caring for your Baby and Young Child" (my essential baby guide), Design the millwork for Dr. Tio's office (but first purchase AutoCAD), return the green tights Dave didn't wear for Halloween, publish the 'Staycations' booklet for those who ordered it, refund money to those who didn't show up to make soap, submit receipts for Craft Day for reimbursement, figure out why the printer won't print, buy Hazel a new noise-maker (her previous one broke and she's starting to wake up at 5:30 in the morning when Tracee makes noises in the adjacent bathroom), buy a space heater for Hazel's room for the winter, publish "Little Bird"(an adoption story), call Dr. Schmo, do our Health Plan Enrollment, box away Hazel's too little clothing and too little toys, set up new Savings Accounts to help accomplish our budget goals, unclog the tub's drain, call that friend in New Jersey, mow the lawn, weed the flowers, plan Thanksgiving Dinner, find Dave voice lessons, come up with a musical number for performance at the Ward Christmas Party, finish the Christmas List, and make travel plans for the holidays. Oh yeah, make dinner, vacuum, and scrub the bathroom, iron shirts, and do something with that pile of laundry on the bedroom floor.
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today.
just breathe. I have actually caused myself to hyperventilate when stressing over lists like yours x
