So Much To Do, So Little…

…you know. TIME.

Ah, nice relaxing clouds…

I have been trying to post the next installment of the Hawaii vacation recap for a couple days now, but have yet to find time to sort through the photos from our drive along the road to Hana. This week has felt SO long and I’m exhausted. But I also feel like I haven’t gotten anything done!

Whether it’s the infamous “nesting instinct” or just my usual cycle of activity, my to-do list feels like it’s a million miles long. And it’s not getting any shorter.

See, my job involves a lot of meetings and telecons. Inevitably, there will be a topic or two that aren’t of interest to me and my mind starts to wander. If this type of thing coincides with an already slow week at work like the ones I’ve had recently, I get in daydreamy moods where I have idea after idea after idea — “oh, I should do that!” and “oh, what about this?” and “oh, that would be really neat and fun” and “I’ll start on that tonight!” I make notes to myself about all the cool things I am going to accomplish. I get excited.

And then, every night, I get home from work and park myself on the couch and do nothing but make dinner, watch TV, and surf the internet. I am great at MAKING lists and plans, and not always so successful at following them through to completion.

This cycle is why I now have, for example, a bolt of fabric sitting in the living room meant to be made into curtains for the guest room. Because I want to fancy up the guest room before the baby arrives. Because, you know, putting together a nursery wasn’t enough home decor for the next couple months!

Will this project actually get done? Will any of the other projects on my list get done?

I want to say yes, but really, it’s a toss up.
