she's a visual girl....

i have had this feeling of impending doom lately...
like things have not
totally
gotten away from me yet
but i
anticipate
that they are going to soon...

and sometimes i feel like
i can't keep track of
every
thing because there are
so many
things to keep track of.
and some things
can't be done
before other things are done
and i am afraid that i have the steps
mixed up and backwards in my head
with steps for other chores
stuck in between
until
it's just one big clustermess of jumbled stress.

so.
i did this.

on post it notes...
because i love post it notes...especially different colors...
and this way i can move them up by level of importance
and remove them as i do them...
i feel better already
{that's the geek in me}

today i will

• take a walk because the sun is shining and i don't want to miss it
• make a list of all the things that need to be done
• tidy up my studio so i start using it again!

• finish editing the family photos
• keep cleaning out the last 3 years worth of photos that are sitting in my computer right now as both originals and edits and taking up valuable much needed space
• make a meal plan for this week
• finish the laundry
• find some time to read at least a little more of this book...which i was totally surprised that i could not put down...so good

•  take one photo
• put chicken in slow cooker for sandwiches this week
• at least 15 minutes of yoga
• daydream about last summer by looking at the photos i posted here today. 

now...i had better get busy :)

peeps

getting caught up

i am catching up...
finding my groove again
with sun shining in the windows
and fresh air in my lungs.

caught up on emails (for today anyway)
a little fearful that i may have bitten off more than i can chew
for this summer...
was planning on capping wedding bookings at
less than 12
but
heh...
am currently at 16 and just had two more requests today....

i just can't say no.

so...we'll see how that plays out.

spring is inside me,
it is in my veins,
it is beating in my heart,
it is thudding at my temples...
it is making me want to
plant and clean and plan and daydream...
it is invigorating me.

and i love it.

sickly...cough, cough, hack, hack.

just getting over 3 weeks of a rotten cold/flu
that snuck up on me
and put me down for the count....
wheezing cough
stuffed up sinuses
incredible cold sweats that left me drenched
and
total
loss
of energy...
no appetite
headache every god-damned day.

but...
the up-side of being sick
is how much you realize
you take feeling good
for granted.

and i am starting to feel better now
and the snow is melting
and the headache is a dull echo
and right now the kids are watching a horror movie
with their dad
all smooshed into one couch
and because i can't watch horror movies
(i can't even listen to them)
i am at the computer with headphones on
and 8tracks blaring
my favorite playlist
getting caught up on email and facebook and pinterest
oh pinterest, how i have missed you...

and i'm happy.
happy to awake and alert at 9 pm
for a change
(even if the kids do try to shush my coughing...heh)
