I feel perpetually behind. I just can’t catch up. I can’t “finish” anything. I try – I really do. But the laundry is never done; the house is never clean (heck, I can’t get one room clean); I haven’t finished a quilt in, um, a very long time; the girl scout stuff is never organized and neither is the quilt group stuff; filing is never done; and I’m so behind on the journaling I want to do for my kids.
How could I possibly add to my endless list with a resolution? Something new to try to accomplish? Heck no! I don’t need to add anything else to my endless list of to-dos. All I can do is try to keep my head above water. Oh well, guess I should just admit it – super-mom, super-wife, super-employee, super-quilter…I am not. And I probably will never be. But I guess that’s okay. Because I still get to spend time with my daughter as her girl scout leader – organized or not. And I get to quilt with her – sporadic though it may be. And I get to spend time with my husband – in our messy living room. It’ll do. Especially if I can get all of us in clean underwear each day.
And yes, the picture above has nothing to do with anything. Except that it has now made me want ice cream. I can’t help it. This is what pregnant women do. I didn’t even finish finding a cool pic or clipart for my blog post. I searched for “overwhelmed”, “piled”, and “covered”. What I got was chocolate covered ice cream…yum. So I’ll manage to accomplish one thing today – I’ll be stopping at the store after work to pick up a yummy flavor or two. Check! One thing done.
