It's frustrating, but I just keep telling myself that life is precious and I need to live each day to the fullest...make plans, and don't get upset if they don't happen...these moments, days, weeks, months with my children are irreplaceable and if I live this time in frustration because my expectations aren't met, I will miss what I have right in front of my eyes, in my arms, and under my feet.
I love my kids SO much. Lord, help me to truly see what a gift they are!
Anyway...enough of the philosophy!
Here's my list from last week.
- Bind 1930's quilt.
- Finish quilting the guild quilt.
- Finish Niblet Exchange blocks
- Finish blocks for Block Lotto
- Finish a couple of Twister Quilt tops.
I did, however, get a quilt quilted for my aunt. I hope to get that bound today so I can wash it and send it off.
I also got a new machine (but I'll talk more about that later), so I'll hopefully be able to FMQ with a little less thread breakage.
SO, here are my goals for this week.
- Bind my Aunt's quilt.
- Bind 1930's quilt.
- Finish quilting the guild quilt.
- Work on Niblet Exchange blocks
- Work on blocks for Block Lotto
- Finish a couple of Twister Quilt tops.
- Work on Paganini quilt.

It is hard to get into a routine. Enjoy your kids guilt free..
Oh, Tamera! Your life sounds so like mine. The kids started school and life got REALLY hectic and I don't even homeschool!
I also have to keep telling myself to enjoy my time with the kids and not to rush it....but it is hard! I will pray for you and the kids!
I also love the colors in your aunt's quilt! How cheery! I am sure she will cherish it as she goes through her treatments.
You have your work cut out for you this week. I pray that it works out for you and that your new machine is just the ticket to make things go smoother!

Look at the positive - what you did get done, and how much time you got to be with the kids *grin*
I had to laugh at this week's list after reading the list before it -- I am so just like that! Didn't get last week's done? No problem -- just make a longer list next week! I don't know if we should laugh at that, or cry and seek help . . . but you are right about time with your kids -- they'll be grown and gone too soon.
