finding balance (cont...)

Christmas cards, cookies, christmas tree, playing dollhouse, laundry. The many things I'm trying to accomplish this month, all of which are on the back burner while I received a freelance project. A 2 story house with basement needs to be drafted by yours truly, and I'm finding it very difficult to dedicate any time to anything, so I have been very unproductive.

I try to start drafting, then realize that I need to load a new version of Autocad, I do so, time consuming. As that is going I start a load of luandry, then comeback to the cad, ahh, Nic is crying...Mad needs something.... By this point I realize that it's 5pm and I haven't thoguht about dinner yet.

I see my four plants in the dinning room, two are cacti (is that plural for cactus?), hardy, that good. Then there is one is an orchid, i know, very delicate, the other, I'm not sure wha tit is but it is big, tall & green, and probably needs water. They all do. Ther is one petal left on the orchid. Why do I have these plants, good question, my hubby thinks I can care for them. The first cactus was a gift from him early in our marriage, a few later he gave me the other cactus. He saw that they were still alive and most recently got me the orchid, being it's my favorite flower. Well, the cactus held out because they are hardy, but what was he thinking, i have no green thumb!

See, here I am posting a 2 part blog when I should really be out shopping for food, we've run dangerously low. Then I should get started on the drafting that I need to do.
My biggest problem is while i'm trying to work, beside the kid frendly interruptions. My mind worries aobut the other things, the dirt kitchen counters, the carpet taht needs vaccuming, the larger piles of clean clothes that need folding, the filthy bathrooms......that is when I become unproductive, I can't focus.
I know that ifd this was Jan, this all would be a minor issue, but it's 2 weeks from xmass and I need to get cards out and cookies baked and the house suitable for our Christmas Eve party.
oy.

Ok, no more complaining, i'm logging off and goign to do something!

Happy Holidays to all!
