So much to do... So unmotivated

[RUDisney]

I have to bake 2 large trays of baklava for my sister's pasta dinner benefit on Saturday night. (She has cancer.) I also have to pick up some raffle baskets from some businesses that are donating to the cause. Later, we are gathering at the fire hall to roll meatballs and I have errands to run for my kids.

My first floor is dusty and needs to be vacuumed and I have laundry to do.

What do I want to do first? Take a nap... that's what.

Oh, gosh...I hear 'ya! The weather is getting cooler fast and I've got painting and caulking to finish, still trying to gather stuff up to donate to the Salvation Army before the end of the year, need to go visit the kids in college for Family Weekend soon, and a nap is sounding pretty darn good!

Your activities are a lot more important than mine...good luck with the dinner benefit!

RU -- sounds like you are overwhelmed. Is there anyone who could help you with any of this? Wish I lived close -- I'd help.

That is so nice of you! Yes, very overwhelmed. I haven't had a minute to myself all week. But, I know that next week will be easier because there is nothing in the works.

I kept reminding myself to just put one foot in front of the other and soon everything will get done.

I got everything done except the baking today. I'll have to do that tomorrow morning.

The good news is that I got a call today and have a phone interview tomorrow! I cannot tell you how much I want this job! I have only worked 5 months out of the last 3 years and that is not for lack of trying to find a job. Hopefully they will pick me!

Hope the interview goes well! Let us know.

The interview was a technical interview to make sure that I could walk the walk I'm claiming to talk. The interviewer said that I had is best recommendation and that I definitely had strong skills in everything that is required of the job that I'm attempting to get.

That really put some pep in my step! I've got one baklava in the oven and two more set to take its place.

Now I have to make the list for our "Will Call" tickets for tomorrow night.

I may even get my ironing done so DS has shirts for school next week before I go to get the beer and help at the fire hall again.

What a difference a day makes in how you feel!
