Thursday, still behind, Thrifty Thursday

Managed to finish another chart yesterday, even though I felt Like I did not get enough done I really did.

I still have three piles left and one of them is a lot of complicated alterations, so I need to give myself a little grace.  Something I am not wanting to do.
 

I just want this stuff out of the shop. I now have a pile of 8 zippers to replace, I am going to have to do a zipper day that is all there is to it.  When will that happen who knows?

The phone rang constantly all day with wedding dresses coming in.  I think I received 8 wedding dress appointments. That is not counting the bridesmaid dresses.  I need to clone myself and I already have a clone.

My soup was delicious. Hubs and I ate it for dinner, and we had it for lunch, and we will have it for dinner again.  This is great as it allows me to stay in the shop longer.

I am trying to get housework done in fits and spurts. Kelsa came last night as Nate got called in and I just had daughter leave her here for the night. Signe' has worked fulltime this week at the surgery and still is teaching dance at night. This was her third 12-hour day, and I knew Nate would be so late and need a lie in. He came and picked Kelsa up at noon.

So, my sleep was not great, but at least daughter and Nate were able to get some good rest. Kelsa is so funny and cute and such a joy. This morning Hubs was at the school setting up for a concert, so while I was alone with the baby, I used the time to get wash done (4 loads) and change sheets, vacuum and dust a few rooms.  I still have at least a good hour of housework left but I did not waste my time this morning.  I sure would love to get the ironing done when Hubs goes back to the high school tonight.

I have not looked at the grocery adds this week, so I have no idea if there is anything I will buy. I have to get to work now.  Blah!  I could really use a nap!
