Halfway Syndrome

I am so frustrated. Ben has been gone to California all week on business and I've been home with the babe. When I heard he was going to be gone all month I immediately started a mental list of all the projects I could complete during that time to keep me busy. Eventually I wrote some of that list down and got to work on it.

Now I'm at an irritating half-way point in everything.

The laundry is folded but not put away

The carpet in the front room is vacuumed and shampooed but the hallway and bedroom remain, meanwhile the carpet cleaner is sitting in the entryway.

The dress that needs to be adjusted for Anna is unpicked but needs to be resewn

The items I bought at the store are still sitting in the shopping bags on the table

The kitchen is clean but not tidy

The lesson for Sunday has been read through but not really planned out

The quilt is pieced but not quilted

The garbages are full and acknowledged, but not yet emptied.

etc. etc.

I guess next week will be spent finishing a few things.

I hope the groceries get put away before next week. That could be dangerous.

good luck with finishing.

He's gone for a whole month!? Gadzooks! That would make me go crazy. I would miss my hubby too much, I'd have to go with him. Gooooood luck finishing your list of to-dos.

Toni-do you remember those scrumptious chocolate cookies with frosting in the middle, that were at your baby shower? Do you have a recipe for them?
