Today began with a start. As I lie in my bed with my slumbering Two year old, trying not to wake up ( I thought I had about an hour before I needed to be ready), I hear the answering machine pick up a call from my mother. "I was just calling to remind you that we changed the clocks last night. Spring ahead!".
Oops. That's kind of how the whole day went today. Although, I did manage to get some things figured out.
Time, for instance. I always make a bundle of projects for myself, and then complain about never having enough time to do them, but really I DO have the time, I just don't manage it very well. Like, while Nick was napping today, I should have been out mowing the lawn, but I was here, on line, chatting away. So then, at 6pm, I realize it's going to get dark and I still haven't mowed the lawn. Grandma saves the day again. I thought about it WHILE I was mowing the lawn and realized my mistake. I think that I just need to start DOING stuff. I think if I wait any longer to have "enough time" to get all this stuff done, then I'm going to be dead and there will be ten thousand unfinished projects in my house for people to go through. They will say, "She was a strange old bird....complusive and strange." I guess that's not necessarily the legacy I would like to leave behind. Here is my project for tonight:
1.Take cabinet doors off kitchen cabinets
2. Start sanding cabinets.
That's not too much, eh? I'll let you know how it goes!
