I Need Normal

Seems like I have been washing dishes since last Tuesday. As a matter of fact that is just what I have been doing.

And lets not forget the vacuuming, every day, sometimes twice a day followed by continuance mopping.

This little gal has been hanging out most days, leaving no time to do anything other than washing dishes, vacuuming and mopping.

At least she has learned how to share, most of the time anyway.

And she is pretty sweet for the most part! Ha

Where did my normal life go? Thanksgiving has gotten me so out of whack I can't seem to get back on track. After sweet Kara left today I could have gotten busy and maybe accomplished something but instead AJ and I curled up on the couch with a quilt and took a three hour nap. My mind says go, go, go but my body says forget it!! Ha

Tonight will be a new night. I have no where that I have to go, nothing that must be done, no huge meals to cook and NO more dirty dishes as I have enough leftovers for the beagle and I for supper. Here is my plan....

I would love to get the living room Christmas tree fluffed and decorated. I need to pack up what I think I can get done at the quilt shop tomorrow so I can move along on the Christmas quilts. A good clean up in the sewing room would be a nice change of pace and checking our Christmas list would be a good idea.

Tomorrow I have a free day. I will be waiting at the quilt store as soon as they open the doors to begin quilting the quilts along with some little things that need to be done. I have high hopes once I get a good start on the DD's quilts my mood and mind will improve. I don't expect to get back to the shop until the first of next week as I have Kara Thursday-Sunday. My game plan with her is to get her out each morning to run like a crazy girl so she will nap and I can begin wrapping Christmas gifts before the grands figure out my hiding place. The evenings will be devoted to decorating for Christmas.

Is anyone else feeling a little overwhelmed with all that needs to be accomplished in the next month? I am sooo off my game. Vacation, flea's, broken sewing machine, blog problems, and Thanksgiving have taken their toll. Tomorrow is a new day and what I hope is a new beginning!!!!
