Panic

I'm feeling a tad panicked, Internets...

You see, I'm out of school for the summer. This in itself is an awesome thing. I love sleeping until 7:00 and getting MY projects done around the house. Which, by the way, has been clean for days in a row. I KNOW! Can you believe it???

Here's my panic...

I have too many projects. Seriously. I do. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed about it. I need to:

• plant my plants in the garden.
• I need to water the plants I have.
• I have two decks to stain,
• a wood pile to stack (this wood pile? It's probably 30 feet long and over 6 feet high.),
• a back hall and guest bathroom to finish,
• an office to clean and organize,
• a stone sidewalk to take up,
• a patio to plan along with replacing the stone sidewalk I need to take up,
• lawns to mow ( a weekly chore),
• a kitchen to replace (Ed's dragging his feet),
• plus two more vacations to get ready for, and demobe from.
• AND I'm turning 40.

I'm feeling overwhelmed. Can you see why?

I'm supposed to have slave labor because Sal wants a cell phone. Apparently he doesn't want it bad enough because he's not beating down the door to come and work.

And then there's the overwhelming desire to do the things I want to do. Like:

• finish the scrap book of our Jessie pictures.
• read, read, read
• meet and have lunch with my friends
• put music on my iPod
• play in my flower beds
• sit and have a beer with my husband

And I also have this fear that my summer will turn into a work session instead of a "life". I don't want to spend my summer working 24/7. I want to enjoy it, too. And I guess that I just am having trouble with the balancing act of it all.
