Once again I have over-extended myself! My INBOX is full!
*participating in a CIGAR BOX SWAP...my first; not sure why I decided to do this since I'm not all that creative!
*participating in a BOOK SWAP...that, at least, got done today
*out-of-town meeting next Tuesday
*observations of my new teachers that I mentor
*two baby showers to attend
*a bridal shower at my house in two weeks and another shower to attend...gotta get this house cleaned up!
*shower invitations...that one's checked off!
*complete a special gift I'm making for the honoree
*a party to attend for a friend's daughter who is getting married
*class reunion next weekend....gotta find SOMETHING to wear!!!!
*get manicure & pedicure before reunion
*pick up grandkids many afternoons & keep them Wed. & Fri. each week
*catch up on email which I'm very behind on
*try to find time to cook a few meals for the hubby
*did I mention S-L-E-E-P????
I'm trying hard not to stress over all this. I know I will get it all done; in fact, I work better with time constraints. But I hope I remember next time to make sure my OUTBOX is more in balance with my INBOX! After it's all done, I think I'll have this...
and this...
or maybe I'll just pack my bags and hide for awhile!
But I truly am thankful to have a busy life filled with family & friends and work to do. As an old principal I used to have would say....
I'm too blessed to be stressed!
Hope all of you have a wonderful, unstressed weekend...forget the INBOX...you can get it done next week!
P.S.: One more thing I'm gonna take the time to do is go over to http://www.charmbraceletdiva.blogspot.com/ and register to win an awesome charm bracelet. Shhh...don't tell anybody cause I don't want a lot of competition. I LOVE charm bracelets!

Oh Cheri -- I've read through your list several times trying to figure out what you can just let go and I don't see anything, except cooking meals for your husband (and I doubt that he would agree -- haha). God is certainly doing quite a job of keeping your occupied. The more capable you are, the more you end up with on your plate! Doesn't that make you feel great? You can do this, girl! (Can you hire a girl Friday for a couple of weeks?) You can do this!
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling. It seems lately I have so many things to do and not enough time.. but I try to take at least one day every weekend and just sit and watch TV and surf the internet and forget about the list.
ReplyDeleteI'm worn out just reading it, Cheri LOL! There are just those times for all of us...just get help where you can, and try to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteOh my friend, I'm too blessed to be stressed too:) I love having a list and I do so love being busy! You will get it all done and feel good about it!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to do the cigar box swap but decided not to add that pressure on top of everything I have going on!
Have a blessed day and I pray you mark a lot of things off that list of yours!
HUGS!
I don't even want to know what a "cigar box swap" is...I might want to add it to my list! Your list is lengthy for sure and like burdens, we really wouldn't want each others! So I'll keep mine and you keep yours and I know we can get them done..have a super, blessed weekend!
ReplyDeleteKnow the feeling....I would love to have a day 'just at home'. However, it will be a sorry day when no one asks us anywhere, or we are not interested in life and it rich pickings.
ReplyDeleteOh my you are busy Cheri!
ReplyDeletePlease don't fret over the cigar project at all, you have enough on your platter!
Thanks for your sweet note too.

ReplyDeleteHugs.. Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham
Well....in the immortal words of one of my favorite characters...."just keep swimming, keep on swimming, swimming, swimming, swimming.....just keep skimming......
ReplyDeleteHi Cheri, I've been meaning to come over and say hi and thank you for the comments you've left on my Sneak-Peek Saturdays, but... I guess I've been blessed with stress lately. (Does it work to rearrange the words that way?) I hope you're getting through your list without a hitch and that you're also enjoying some downtime!
ReplyDeletealot to do but, you will handle this. Just remember you are breathing and have the power. thanks for your comment on my post re horses. i'm waiting for husband decide what to do. he wants to help, but. the horses got back into our yard last night. rose
ReplyDeleteGood luck.... it is a blessing to be wanted and needed!!
ReplyDeleteI get this! I am so tired from VACATION, I need a vacation!
ReplyDeleteI know you can do this...just keep checking things off and you'll gather more steam to complete the next item. Remember the "Little Engine that Could!"
ReplyDeletei think i had read your post and my mind is cooked but no comment. It sounds like you need to slow down. I need to do something to get my mind working. take care rose

ReplyDeleteSounds like you really do have your plate very full. Take a deep breath and then just start running. Personally, the thought of the spa appeals to me. lol Thanks for your visits and your gracius comments. I really appreciate them. Hugs, Marty
