But still I would like to accomplish something. Some small thing that I start that could get finished. Experienced mothers out there tell me my organisational skills will improve as he grows! Not including the wedding blanket I have to make for my brother in law, the patchwork blanket I've been working on for six years, the experimental scarf, the maternity dress (I'm no longer pregnant!), the Amigurumi spaceship, Toby's vest (that I just keep increasing because he's four months older now and I'm still not more than two inches in) or the countless jars of baby food and delicious things from The Pioneer Woman I want to make, I currently have these priorities...
Toby's scrapbook - note that these are the "leaving the hospital" pages and they aren't glued down yet!
The baby blanket for my best friend whose shower is right around the corner!
My Lollychops inspired amigurumi design.
Roses, oh so many Roses.
This little baby holds notes for our Pastor Search at church that must be diligently worked through... by Wednesday... but it also holds a dozen short stories, a few non fiction pieces and a novel or two all in disarray.
And then this, my books, my library, my passion in life before husby, Toby and crochet entered my life. Will I ever read a book that isn't completely made of cardboard again?
But then if I finished something before I started the next thing I wouldn't be me now would I ;-)
Why should you be any different from the rest of us??? ;-D We all have stacks of projects of all sorts to be completed. That's what makes us women! You definitely need to give yourself a break, though, since having that sweet little oh-so-happy guy to care for takes priority. Looks like you have lots of cool projects in the works!!! One at a time ... finish 'em off one at a time.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hear ya loud and clear on the starting projects and not really finishing them. This is why I am NOT a scrapbooker. I get so gung ho for the first two pages...then get burnt out. I know, pathetic right? Well, I'm impressed...and I hope I can be half as ambitious as you are when I have kids. Not likely though when I'm not even super ambitious now.
ReplyDeleteAnd as my dad always told me in college when I would call him the night before a paper was due that I hadn't started to ask if he would still love me if I failed, "Tabitha, just eat your elephant one bite at a time."
So true! There are times when I say to husband, "I am tired of the have-to-do and need some time for want-to-do!" You are right though, it is a different time and I would not change back to the way things were for anything! I love the part about your library and wondering if you will ever read a book that is not made of cardboard!
