Too busy

Busy people are commonly referred to as "juggling" the many different facets of their lives. Personally I prefer to think of plate spinning: I realise one area is being neglected and about to fall and have to go and give it a wiggle to get it going again. It's a challenge to keep them all spinning but it doesn't matter if some are going faster than others.

At the moment, I have too many plates! I just can't keep up. I'm going to consciously let this blog's plate drop to the ground for a few weeks so I can concentrate on everything else....sewing and doll making, making and gathering a few gifts for a (very scaled down) Christmas, de-cluttering (still...) and decorating the house, seeking information about moving, LLL, restoring my coffee tables, kindergarten stuff... tons to do. I'm trying to finish off lots of old projects before loads of new things kick in.

Right now I feel like even hoping to blog about life is just another thing on my frighteningly long task list.... but I'm really looking forward to sharing what we've been up to when things calm down a bit ;)

I don't blame you one bit! Although you know I'd never blame you for anything... I wish I could come and declutter with/for you. If there's one thing I love, it's that. I am pretty overwhelmed here too! It's the ninth and I'm still not done my winter solstice countdown calendar. I'm not far off but it meant letting my house go to poo and not as much time outside as I'd like. But that's it right, we make priorities and sometimes certain ones have to trump others. C'est la vie! Today, I'm madly cleaning for a short visit my dad is making and meal planning with shopping. All will be well for me and you.... Love to you at this busy time!
