Mixed Feelings

posted in a little bit of everything |

How is it possible that I can feel that I accomplished quite a bit today, while at the same time, I feel like I got nothing done?

I got up this morning with good intentions.  I got the kitchen and family room all cleaned up and vacuumed.  I got the sheets washed.  I even changed light bulbs in the patio that had been burned out since we bought the house a year ago.  I spent a little time over a cup of coffee reading blogs and responding to comments and then I headed out to do errands.

I picked up more fabric at the quilt shop (another new bag will be made soon!).  I then went and picked up hair supplies for each member of our family and even stopped and bought dog food.  On my way home I made one last stop for groceries for tonight and tomorrow nights dinners and then came home.

I spent a couple of hours then on the computer dropping EC’s before starting dinner.  Now here we are, it’s after 8 and I haven’t even checked my email today, much less worked on any sewing project.  Perhaps that’s the problem, I haven’t sewn anything in almost a week and I have several projects that I’m in the middle of.  Maybe I need to focus on those this weekend.  Of course, if I’m sewing, then the yardwork won’t get done.  I’m feeling a bit torn tonight, maybe I just need a good nights rest.

Sorry for going on, I just need to talk myself through it!

    Sounds like you done a ton of stuff!!! I wouldn’t feel bad.

    I woke up at 2 today and now will be working until the middle of the night!

    I have a busy busy week ahead of me and am dreading it.

    BTW, do you have much luck dropping EC’s? Does it bring you many visitors back? I am not sure if I should put it on blogaboutanimals yet!

    I know what you mean, I am the same way. My thoughts leave the yard work it will be there another day and work on sewing. I feel when I have written anything creative in awhile I become a little scatterbrained.

    Lynne!!! You sound just like me!! I have so many things to do these days NOW that I’m and avid blogger and entrecard dropper. It wears me out just thinking about it. Yesterday evening, though, I had a wreck and tore up my car. Since then I have been a basket case, very upset, stressed to the max, blah, blah, blah, blah. I will post about the accident later. This morning I had planned to pick up my rental car but that fell through. I can drive my car but I don’t trust driving it very far. No one was hurt and it was definitely my fault. I reared ended someone.

    Coffee sounds so good right now! I haven’t had any yet today and it’s 1:20 pm. We’re in Philadelphia and the baby wasn’t allowed food or drink and I wouldn’t drink in front of him so the first thing we do when we’re out is stop for something to eat and coffee.

    Oh Val – I hope all went well and you got your coffee! We sat outside for softball and all that fresh air made me drowsy! Now I’m sitting here having a late cup of coffee just to try to snap out of this sleepiness.

    Oh, I can so relate. The computer has made it so much easier to get our creative efforts out there and to sell….but the promoting, reading, and participating in things has increased by such a degree I don’t get enough things created. UGH

    After checking a few emails and taking care of some online business today, I forced myself to step away from the computer and go sew! I chose a quick project that could be started and completed within a couple of hours in order to feel like I had accomplished something today~! I have my next project laid out waiting, it will take longer, so it may have to wait until tomorrow.
