There is a spider outside of my window and I'm envying its relatively stress-free lifestyle at the moment. This past week we've been without hot water (our water tank died) and it won't be fixed until tonight. Add to that my husband trying to figure out his next steps for coursework on the road to ordination, and re-painting the church hall, which is not going to get done in time for Back To Church Sunday, I'll tell you that right now, and Alpha starts up at our church this week and there are nine meals and only three are covered and I'm making the first one so preparing food for twenty people can go on the list. And, you know, trying to homeschool and all. Blarg. I woke up at five this morning, tense as a mouse in a cat fight, and have been trying to relax ever since. I even did yoga. Which wasn't a pretty sight.
It just cannot almost be fall. Nothing is DONE. I have so much to DO. And I can't do a thing. Well, yesterday I especially couldn't do a thing because I had managed to book my first day reading stories at the library with the baby's shots, and neither of those things could be cancelled so David took the doctor's appt. and I took the library. And then of course the rest of the day we expected Fussy Baby to explode at any moment. She was decent though, and David remembered to buy food while he was out, so I didn't have to rush home and cook and comfort an infant at the same time. He's a hero.
Ugh. I think I just need to write everything down on a list. And I'm not cooking today because there are lots of random leftovers in the fridge so people can just manage with those. I'm going to paint the coffee area in the church hall and that is ALL I'm setting up for myself before Sunday. And I'm going to spend the rest of the day catching up with housework - laundry, floors, LAUNDRY, my heavens...
Calm. Calm.
