So, after the kids left last night, which was about 6.p.m. I was finally really able to get into the shop and start what I thought would be a couple of hours of work.
Boy was I wrong. I knew there were some piles, but these were hard piles. Like time consuming piles. E-gads. I also had a wedding dress that needed to be ready for a fitting by noon today. I knew I would never get up early enough to get this done, so did not allow myself to leave the shop until it was ready.
I was sewing until mid-night. I have to start paying attention. I had several things that were due out today, which I did get done before the wedding dress, but I also could have done them last week, instead of making myself crazy (I know, I know).
I have two wedding dresses to finish today, and one has a horsehair braid hem, which I hate, but I will persevere until they are finished. Also need to make a few phone calls for pick up as we leave on Thursday morning.
Hubs said his mom is so excited to go with us. She has not been anywhere since we took her home after New Year's. I sure hope she has had some visitors. I get a little upset with family that lives down there including her in things, but again this is not my family and I need to keep my mouth and mind shut.
Hubs is out trying to load the ATV into the truck backwards, which scares me to death. I told him to load it forward and just bungy cord the tail shut. But he will do what he will do.
Tonight, I will make more egg rolls as I have all the ingredients and I can freeze the leftovers.
Our middle daughter comes here almost every day for lunch and then takes a nap for an hour or so. It kind of depends on her patient load. I just think it is so cute. Bear with me please I am a mother, who adores her cubs.
I just remembered that I need to go pay the water bill today or tomorrow before we leave. Don't want a late charge. Put that on the to do before I leave list, along with some ironing.
I talked to Slugs and Sissie today about a possible trip. Excited about it but will not happen if it does until next fall. I can prepare now.
Okay I am going to get my butt into the shop. Are any of you procrastinators? I am bad, but I want to know how many of you have this marvelous trait?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Lunch at mom's with an hour nap sounds perfect :)
ReplyDeleteI know, If I had been able to do this I would have.
DeleteMy daughters pattern all fall was to come over to watch the football game with her dad on Sundays, proceed to fall asleep, then wake up and watch the last half of the 4th quarter. She just would fall asleep, knowing she had nothing to stress her out. It's nice to know we are the warm hug they need.
ReplyDeleteI love that. Just safe at home with people you love and no stress.
DeleteOh, I can procrastinate, for sure. But, mostly my lack of action is because of pain and brain fog. I miss my mother being a soft place to land.
ReplyDeleteYes,they were a soft place. I remember telling my Lil sis that when she was going through an awful divorce. Just come home to mom's it is a soft place to land.
DeleteI'm largely not a procrastinator. I'm pretty organized & disciplined, but I have two modes: full sloth, or productive. When I hit full sloth mode... I struggle to make it off the sofa.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am really the same way. It is kind of all or nothing with me.
DeleteI try not to procrastinate. Like Hawaii Planner, I am organized and disciplined, thanks to taking a full load of classes, and working full time. I used to have those two modes, but recently, it's been an even tempo.
ReplyDeleteYou know I think it really depends on what is expected of one on a daily basis and our lives change. Sometimes we have to be super organized and then we get a break.
DeleteI hope the possible trip will work out!
ReplyDeleteSo fun I tell you.
DeleteI am a procrastinator BIG TIME! I no longer have a mum but I like a snooze after lunch. I don't know where you get your energy!
ReplyDeleteWhat energy, I am dragging and in I have to mode.
DeleteWhen it rains it pours! Some people work better under stress - you seem to be one of them.
ReplyDeleteA future trip gives you something to look forward to.
I do work better under stress, I always have, but I don't think it is that good for me.
DeleteSo nice that your daughter comes for lunch and a nap. You're a good mom!!
ReplyDeleteI just think it is so cute.
DeleteThat is so sweet that your daughter comes for lunch and a nap. :)
ReplyDeleteI know, good food she does not have to cook, and a warm bed and no one to wake her.
DeleteI only hope that someday I will be able to feed my grown daughter lunch and tuck her in for a nap in the midst of her busy workday!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely feeling, that you are still needed and wanted.
