The challenge!

Ever had one of those mornings where the sun was shinning, your feeling good with lots of energy and a million things you want to do? I found myself running around the house piddling here and there doing stuff, but getting no where... really. It's like spinning on a whirygig and you have to make yourself get off to let the world stop spinning!

Today I spent my moring taking pictures for my blog, and putting them on my pc... all the while following theMotherhood blog site, and monitoring Facebook, laundry and cleaning (guilt beast made me do that) and reading about other people in their world. There is another whole world on the internet that I could get swallowed up by or addicted to if I don't watch myself. Naaa, I don't have to worry because I have a really big guilt beast in me!

About that time the teen gets home from school and I look at the clock and discover half of my day is gone, slipped right through my fingers on the keyboard. Yikes! I have to get something done...really done....sew, I always feel like something is done when I sew. It is the one part of my world that does not get undone.

Mothering is the most frustrating job in the world but the love makes it priceless. I empty the dishwasher....it gets full by dinner. I put clean towels out...they are dirty by dinner. I vacume and mop...the floors are dirty by dinner. I empty the laundry basket, washing all the clothes...most are back in the basket by dinner, not really but I think you know what I mean. Like I said the pay sinks but the hugs are priceless!

Anyway, I struggled with the guit beast and won this time. I walked into my sewing room and stood at my cutting table working on those tiny little 2 1/2" four patch squares and did not stop untill they were all squared up! Yep, now there, I have done something today!

Oh, I had to paste in a picture of my most favorite sewing tool of all...no sewing room should be with out it! Glue Stick....forget pinning things that go slip slidding around...glue them down...dab, dab, dab! It's washable!!!
