Less than four weeks now until moving day.
Time is going by so fast and my work is not getting done as quickly as I would like.
The stress of moving and trying to finish my degree while still maintaining some sort of a normal family life is really starting to get to me and I haven't been able to sleep for the past few weeks. I keep hoping to make a big enough dent in all I have to do to see that light at the end of the tunnel...
But, I still have to finish sorting through all we have collected over the past three years and choose which half I want to get rid of...have a garage sale...write 9 essays...write 3 exams...attend various recitals, soccer games and field trips that always come with the end of the school year... oh and pack.
No worries right.
Did I say I have less than a month.
I can do this.
It is not my first rodeo.
Sorry about all the cliches but as I said I haven't really slept much...
The other night we had some friends stop by to look at some of the hubby's paintings. It was dinnertime...
I decided to do what I never do and invite them for dinner at the last minute. Just throw something together.
I love having people over, but I also always like to plan ahead. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
I hadn't even been grocery shopping for over a week and I had to be creative. It was great. I even managed a couple of fruit tarts.
I really enjoyed the spontaneity. I loved not having time to worry or stress out about something else. I think it helped that I am already so stressed. My attitude now is just bring it on...
Just after they left - there was a knock on the door. They were back ... "you have to see this"...
Just what I needed...A little reminder to stop and enjoy the rainbows.
