This is kind of my motto as I got home from my reunion. I just don't want to do this anymore. It is a very immature attitude, and I am sure the feeling will pass.
Sissie and I had a great time. It was very tiring. There is nothing I dislike more than saying hi to 100 people but really visiting no one. Everything is superficial. We both came home exhausted each night. Was it wonderful to see these people? Yes, by all means, but I didn't have a meaningful conversation with more than 2 people. That to me is heartache.
Had a doctor's appointment yesterday to go over all the medical tests, and I seem to be fine, I guess. We switched up some meds. And I will see how that goes.
Sissie is busy behind me getting things done and I am not going to even make any plans about the 15 dresses that hang behind me. Other than to try and get all the August dresses out of here by the end of the month.
Coming home to watering and chickens and weeds. I spent part of the morning cleaning out the coop and water trays and food bins. Collected 8 eggs for my trouble. Even though I sprayed a few days before I left, I had to walk around the entire property and spray weeds again. We had a bit of rain while I was gone plus high temps and that makes thing grow.
I have several to do items on a growing list other than sewing. Sewing is 4-5 days a week, but the property is and ongoing everyday struggle.
Things that Kim needs to get done:
1. clean out inside freezer
2. clean out outside freezer
3. weed the garden beds
4. fertilize the flowers boxes and the flower beds
5. spray for hornets
I think I need another me. Well, I have as close to another me as one can possibly get with and identical twin sister, but she won't do anything on this list. Can you imagine that?
Well I am off
God is good

Kim, can you borrow/hire some kids from your church to do one time bits of work? Like the week pulling or other tasks? Would be good for them and you ;). Hilogene in Az.
ReplyDeleteProbably but I weeded the garden yesterday!
DeleteAt least your list today is your list for your hime and yard and not running yourself ragged for others. I ask this with all care in my heart...when you say, "I don't want to do this anymore" do you honestly HAVE TO do this anymore? What can you stop doing and if you respond nothing, ask yourself again. Its not selfish to answer only to yourself and then decide your health, wellness, and piece of mind shouldn't be sacrificed because of choices by others. I'm finally figuring this out, but admittedly it's a slow to learn lesson.
ReplyDeleteI do have to admit I wonder how long I will keep sewing. I think about it more than you know.
DeleteIgnore the freezer. It is not terribly important. The stuff will stay frozen and who cares what the outside looks like.
ReplyDeleteDo the dresses because that makes the money.
Clean the chickens coop
Ignore everything but the absolute necessities for the yard
I am good at ignoring.
DeleteEveryone above makes great points!!!! Some things do NOT have to be done right now. You need to concentrate on your work and that alone. Let others find other people to help them out - you have got to learn to say NO even to your kids. You have to take care of yourself - no one else is going to.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true!
DeleteYou are so full of @#$t, I will of course clean the freezers! I have my own yard to take care of Missy! Annon....guess who?
ReplyDeleteSo why are you not doing this list? Get busy!
DeleteIt is OK to not attend again. I agree. 100 hellos for 2 10 minute conversations is not rewarding..........
ReplyDeleteI was happy to see people, but it was so superficial.
DeleteYow, 100 hello's would about drive me bonkers. I see Sissy made a comment. LOL.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
She is a trouble maker.
DeleteIt actually IS really tiring just mindlessly chatting to folk & moving around the room. No deep & meaningful conversations - no wonder you were exhausted. ps... saw Sissie's comment here 😉 had to laugh!!
ReplyDelete(((((Kim))))) hugs to you my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Belinda I now have to go slug my sister.
DeleteI'm not a fan of those type of events - I would definitely rather skip & spend quality time with the handful of folks I want to engage with. Hope your Kim replication goes well & you have a helper in no time. ;-) - Hawaii Planner
ReplyDeleteI am on the hunt for my sister who is laying low....
DeleteOkay... LOL sissy.... Other wise, $$ on dresses come first. Weeds feed birds (MY LINE). We had over 100 last reunion, neither of us greeted everyone. We do have a once a month get together of whomever at different restaurants thanks to a classmate that does it and no she's not incharge of that, just does it for herself.
ReplyDeleteSo you understand the dilemma.
