'Tis the Season . . . for Overload

I spent this past weekend in Little Rock at my daughter Angela's house. She and her husband needed to do their Christmas shopping, so I babysat while they braved the crowds. Their shopping trip was very successful, and we all met for dinner at a great sushi place. After church on Sunday I even did a little shopping of my own before I left the city to head homeward.

But now that I am home, this week looks pretty overwhelming. My energy is waning, it's raining outside today, and I still have a ton of stuff to do. I'm a list maker, so I'm sharing my to-do list with you today. I can't wait to get these things completed.

1. I have a Christmas stocking project for Angela's family that is half finished. If these beauties are going to be hung by the chimney for Santa to fill, Grams had better get crack-a-lackin'!

2. I have Sourdough Bread rising to bake today.

3. I have a stack of ironing to do.

4. The laundry has piled up to new heights.

5. I have a baking project just sitting and waiting for me to put it together.

6. Tomorrow there's a dentist appointment for the tooth I broke last Friday. Of course my dentist doesn't work on Fridays, but he'll be glad to see me on Wednesday.


7. Then there's also the doctor appointment Wednesday to remove the stitches from my arm for the minor surgery that I had last week.

8. Today I have to make a trip to Walmart for groceries, or I won't be able to make the Mexican Chicken I have planned for dinner tonight.

9. I have a few more Christmas Bread Basket liners to make as gifts.

10. FINISH THE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!!!


Is anyone else as behind as I am??
