The end is near!
Right now I feel a little overwhelmed. There are a lot of things that I would like to do and I am not sure that I have time in which to do all of them. For some reason I have this impending sense of doom surrounding me that I do not have a lot of time to accomplish all that I would like to accomplish. That I really don't have the time to learn all of the things that I would like to learn. To read all of the books I would like to read, to do all of the little projects that I would like to do, like organize all of my photos so that I can put them in actual books. Or do the knitting projects that I have in my head that I would like to do. I don't feel like I am going to die or anything gloomy like that, I just feel like the older I get, the faster time goes and there is never enough time in the day! Especially since I feel like I spend a lot of that time sleeping. I think sleeping is such a horrible waste of time and should not be required for people to survive. I think sleep should be optional. Don't get me wrong, I love me some sleep. The feeling of the blanket heavy on top of you while you head rests on your pillow, turning over that pillow every so often to get to that ever elusive "cool side." I LOVE it! The feeling of it, that is. But when you are like me, and require more than the average 8 hours of sleep... it becomes quite a burden. I would much rather be doing something than sleeping, but if I don't have a nap in the day, I will fall asleep over the stove while I am cooking dinner, or fall head first into the tub while I am bathing the baby in the evening. So, while I love sleep, I hate it. It hinders me from getting accomplished all I would like to do! And instead of doing one of those things right now, I am sitting on the computer writing this. SO I had better go work on my current knitting project, or read one of the thousands of books I have yet to finish... or maybe I could tackle the arduous task of straightening my hair... no that is a lost cause, I am afraid.

You need to go see the voodoo priestess. I saw her today and she is going to fix me. She can fix you, too!
wow...we sound just a like. I have more little projects in my mind that i want to do. If i could just focus long enough to do what i HAVE to do...then i would be able to do what i WANT to do..but then..like you said..i find myself on here...blogging...or facebooking, emailing...etc.
I'm a loser baby, why dontcha kill maaee... song!!! :)
I am kinda liking the voodoo idea...she fixes people?? wow! i need some fixin mine own self!
Taking a nap is one of those bittersweet things. It feels oh so sweet as you are sleeping, but then the inevitable bitterness sets in when you wake up and see what time it is.
This is one of those feelings that I have been battling with lately, as well. What is that all about? I used to feel like I'd have time to finish what I'd like. Now, the pressure is on. I can't, however, convince myself that sleep is a waste of time. It's too crucial to my well-being. Without enough of it, I run at half of my potential.
Lots of projects... sounds familiar! I am trying to focus on one each month and record actual progress. Maybe that would help!
And I save books for when I am old. Lots of classics. I have hundreds. Of course I will probably have a Kindle by then with all the books in the universe at my fingertips. (Hopefully with the ability to see in large print LOL!) In the meantime if I can squeeze enough energy to do one thing besides the kids huge drain on my energy I am doing well... Baby steps!!
PS Can you teach Elizabeth to knit?? :D
