Do you ever get bogged down by everything you should be doing so that you can't do anything?
That's how I feel about my entire life right now. Maybe its part SAD disorder (dark all the damn time) or my perfectionism that keeps me from even starting a project. I have struggled with this all my life. Recently it's gotten worse. I feel like Marley wrapped up in chains and weighed down with locks.
So I am trying to focus. This weekend I am going to finish my household notebook. I am also going to clean up and rearrange the unfinished part of my basement.
Pray for me, wish me luck, send "get things done" thoughts my way. Please. Cause I'm gonna need it.
PS: My new goal is to blog twice a week.

Goals and Lists
One of the reasons I started this blog was to keep myself accountable. I have great ideas and plans for all kinds of crafts, writing, gardening, recipes... lots of stuff. But I never do them. So in an effort to get my lazy ass moving I am posting some goals.
For the rest of 2008
-Finish the aprons I started
-Can fresh pumpkin
-Finish making grape jelly
-Finish scrapbooking 2008 and 2007
-Clean out my basement and turn it into a play room (I need to do this by Thanksgiving actually)
-Fix up household notebook
-Cut sugar in diet/start yoga (OK maybe we'll move this to 2009)
-Siding on end of house
For 2009
-Write family cookbook (for Christmas presents next year)
-Put heritage album together (for Christmas presents next year)
-Scrapbook, keep up with 2009
-Scrapbook 2006
-Stretch goal is to get 2005 done as well (My ultimate goal in scrapbooking has been to get back to the birth of my daughter in 05)
-Yard, it needs a lot of love
-House, redo basement, upstairs incl putting in a new bathroom, repaint all walls, kids room.
-Stretch goal is the kitchen, main bath, and guest room.(Sound like enough?)
-Make some new quilts
-Become more organic by
a)making more of my own beauty and bath products
b)grow a vegetable garden and herb garden
c)can and freeze more of our own food
-Become a better writer
-Stretch goal is to start playing violin again
-And of course the usual eat healthy, exercise, lose weight and better our finances.
Hey look my list has sub lists. I love lists.
