I did manage to get dinner made and not burned (that was Hub's fault on Wednesday). I was able to get our nephews gifts purchased last night. So now it is just the two son in laws. Blah they are so hard to by for.
Yesterday, I was able to get 11 pairs of pants hemmed and some mending, a bridesmaid dress hemmed, a zipper replaced, elastic replaced in two sets of sleeves. I also hauled mom's butt through 3 stores, no easy task. I picked up her meds did a little shopping, went to Joanns to fix a mom problem. So I feel like I actually accomplished something.
We have a holiday party at Hub's old office tonight. I have to finish a unusually hard alteration on a white dress and also mend a quilt. Mom and I are wrapping and mailing gifts today, which means I am wrapping and mailing gifts today. I still have some things to make to add to a gift box I will mail on Monday.
We have to leave here early as it is a 1 hour drive to Hub's old office and I am not sure about the roads. Other than narrow goat trails. Ask sluggy about our super highways out here.
I have to get to work, this dress has to go out today! Ugh and double ugh.....
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

I know that feeling - that was the past few weeks for me as well. I was sick, then my back was out - I told my husband I felt like I was shoveling water while it was being poured in.
ReplyDeleteI am like you - when I get alone time with no interruptions, I am like superwoman. But alas, that is not entirely possible and you know better than I do.
My biggest hope right now is that one of my children is as wonderful to me as you are to your mother.
Have fun at the party - you need to blow off a little steam!
We had a blast now I have to face the house and shop from hell!
DeleteOther people even if they are not your mother tend to impeded progress.
ReplyDeleteI know....

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a bunch of things done. There's nothing like checking things off a list to feel better, for me! I had my little meltdown yesterday morning, but got a lot done in the past 2 days, so feel less stressed today. Today, I rested a lot, as well, so that will help with the week to come.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a melt down is necessary at least for me. But sorry you had one. Isn't the Holiday time fun. Just wish I/we could concentrate more on the meaning of Christmas.
DeleteI'm so glad you're being productive! I need to get my act in order and get some things done. I can't believe it's only 7 days away!!!
ReplyDeleteI know I keep reminding myself.
DeleteTime does go by more quickly at this time of year! I should start my preparations earlier - I say that every friggin' year! I can say though that my shopping is DONE! Hurrah! Now just waiting for the little wrapping paper elves to show up!
ReplyDeleteI know! I hate being rushed like this and then I just say let it go. You don't have to do everything. They will never know. Well they will now if I don't wrap their gifts.
