Never going to get caught up
I feel like I am so far behind on everything because for the past month we have been going through this treatment and it really took a lot of energy out of me and George didn't want me doing a whole lot (which was sweet of him).
VBS is next week and I don't feel prepared for it. I am working today on cutting things out and trying to get things together. I got to make sure I am familiar with the activities that we are doing (we are only doing 3 a night, but still) and then I am teaching 2 nights so I need to read those over and be a little familiar with them. We have the 4 year olds. We only have them for 30 minutes but 30 minutes is still a long time, especially with 4 year olds.
Brother and soon to be SIL gift: I had the idea of making them a scrapbook where they can put their pictures from where he popped the question, their engagement pictures and wedding pictures. I have the stuff but I haven't started on it. I know it is going to take me a while because I want it to look perfect. I have about a month and a few weeks to put it together. I should have started on this in June, but didn't. Hopefully it will be finished by the time we leave in September.
My mom wants to put together a slide show thing with music. She is coming over Saturday for me to help her with that and a few other things. I know this is going to take a while and again I hope we get it done by September.
The house is a mess and I really need to scrub it but I am just not feeling up to it.
AF came yesterday and the cramps were so bad that George took me to a walk-in clinic because tylenol and a pain pill that I had from a surgery in February were not working. Usually I have a little bit of pain and tylenol gets rid of it, but I think because of all the hormones that are in those shots it made it worse this time. They prescribe me a pain pill (hydrocrodone--sp???--it is that kind that people get addicted to and do whatever they can to get it). I took that last night about 9:15 and I still feel some of the effects of it. It helped the pain but it is back. I took aleve this morning like he told me too. Hopefully I will feel fine by tomorrow but because I am just not up to it I feel like I am behind on everything.
I just hate the feeling of being behind on everything. Usually I am on top of things but not right now. Hopefully I will get back in the groove on things. Once we get back from NYC I have so much to do like start making christmas cards, want to try to sew as I want to make a few christmas gifts, then I have some ideas for christmas gifts that will take a while.
No point to this post really I just needed to get it out.
Re: Never going to get caught up
This is a great idea! Besides, it takes months for them to get their photos back after the wedding anyway.
I agree with pp... don't beat yourself up over it. You need to get things done at your own pace right now.
And making the scrapbook for Christmas is a great idea!
