Anyone else suffering from adulthood? It kinda sucks sometimes. But I am going to be positive this week. I have so (sew) much to do. I am blessed with work. I just don't want it to get ahead of me and that is so easy to do with my scatter brain ways.
Had a great weekend with Kelsa, although she runs me ragged, and I don't get enough sleep. My need for alone time starts the minute she goes down and I stay up too late and then she is up with the chickens. But Sissie stayed the night, and I slept in and Sissie cleaned most of the house bless her. She has my car right now doing errands or other fun stuff.
Kelsa and I baked cookies for Uncle Dan and for choir practice. Yes, I use bribery to get the men there. We made Oatmeal chocolate, chip with raisins and nuts. I had choco chips that needed to be used, and Sis and I have so many nuts in the freezer we need to use up. It was a very, healthy cookie and so yummy. We also sewed more doll bedding with scraps of flannel. She has so much fun playing with her dolls. So, do I. I think Mom and Dad and Will had a good weekend at the tournament. So, all are happy.
Sissie cooks for me so much, that I had Dan and Kay for Sunday dinner. Found two nice rib eyes in freezer, and had baked potatoes, salad, beets and corn. Also, made a batch of homemade rolls, then had vanilla ice cream for dessert with the fresh strawberry jam I just made last week. So good. We didn't even finish one steak, so I have meat for several meals this week. I am okay with that.
I need to have savings of $400 this week to reach my goal for the month. I guess I do have two weeks to get that done. I will get an add sense pay out on the 22 that will be 1/4 of what I need. The shop is full of piles!!!! Plus, I have a wedding dress that is done and needs to be picked up!
Let's address the piles. (Just had my little person arrive with a whole batch of things and I need to get to work). I just don't want to get behind this year like I did last year. There are 4 wedding dresses in so far and more scheduled in the upcoming week. This is early in the season to be getting so many. But I do have my Sissie to take up the slack if I get too many alterations and that makes me a little less stressed. She will also keep me on track. Nag. Nag, Nag. But it is good for me.
Let's make a list, shall we?
1. 5 pairs of pants and one top to shorten
2. one pair of pants shorten
3. 4 pairs of pants shorten
4. two pairs of pants mend pockets
5. one shorten and one patch job
6. shorten 5 shirts replace button
7. replace zipper
8. replace zipper
That is more than enough for today don't you think? 16 hem jobs plus the rest I think it is doable. But I won't know until I get started. Getting started isa the hard part.
God is good

Considering I would probably get one thing done - yep that's a lot in one day!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot. I try to not sew for more than three hours as it starts to affect my back. I was at the three-hour mark when I still had a zipper to do, so it was basted, and I called it a day!
DeleteI laugh at your lists…mine are sort of idiotic. I make a short list, do nothing on it but do other things…which means that I then add those other things to the list just to cross them off ;). Ha! the games we play…at least you get paid when your list is done! Hilogene in Az.
ReplyDeleteHilogene,
DeleteI have done the same thing, just to prove I did something.
Hey I am the queen of writing brushed teeth at the top of my lists so I can have something to cross off for sure!
DeleteI echo Hilogene!
ReplyDeleteI join the Hilogene crowd. lol. Cindy in the South
DeleteLists are so easy, but doing them is another story
DeleteYou did great work on your list. Lots crossed off.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It was a good day.
DeleteI’m so glad you have Sissy to make it less stressful on you!
ReplyDeleteShe keeps me in line
DeleteWhen I make my lists, I also write down at least two things I have just done so I get the pleasure of seeing them crossed off before I even begin!!!! 😉
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good idea!
DeleteI would be lost without my lists to keep me on top of things. Glad you have a sister to help you out.
ReplyDeleteShe is a force to be reckoned with...
DeleteList making: yep yep yep.
ReplyDeleteLove me a list, I lose them on a regular basis, but I love them.
ReplyDeleteWe should have a blog called Queen of lists and just share the posts. Put that on a list !!!!!
