This is true of the 2 baskets of laundry waiting to be folded, the 2 hampers full waiting to be washed, the dishwasher that needs to clean more dirty dishes, and the floors that never seem to stay clean.
It's also true of the seams that need to be ironed, the few junctions that don't match and need to be unpicked and re-sewn.
There are times when I just ignore it all and work on what's in front of me, but quite often - I just do it! How else is it going to get done?
What should you be doing?
I'm headed back to my sewing station for a few more minutes :)

ReplyDeleteShawna:)
we just had company over for a play date. I should be picking up after them (it was a co-worker and her 4 year old son to visit with me, and my three year old daughter) but I am savoring the piece and quiet of the moment before starting our night night time. Rneeds some transition/down time so shes watching her "shows"
