Second guessing...

We are busy right now, really busy...every day there are a long list of things to get done, places to go, and work to finish.  It really drives me nuts...I don't like being this busy and it makes me second guess my actions, plans, and decisions...It always looks good on paper but when you are actually in the middle of it, it can sometimes be a mess! These are just a few of the "good" things that we are doing the next 2-3 weeks.

I write all this not to brag because I am actually a little embarrassed...but I guess I have issues saying no...and it all sounds so great!  I am crazy and Fall always seems to be like this for us.  I want time to cook, clean, make my house smell good, craft, read, etc but it is hard to fit it all in....not sure why I even try.  I admit I have a hard time picking activities...I LOVE FALL...that's why I got married in the fall...I just love the smells and weather and all the fun things to do.  But it seems that everyone (including me) wants to plan everything for the Fall! I seem frustrated, and on somedays I am...BUT all that to say, I'm doing a much better job this year of taking it all in stride...one day at a time!
