Crankiness is caused by work

I have been so very busy. Busy at work. Busy at home. Busy doing things for other people! I am extremely tired and cranky and I do think it must really be work related and I've learned that is considered a workman's comensation compensable reason to not work. HA, you think I jest. But no, there is an employee who has been off of work and most recently was giving a rating by a AME doctor and was diagnosed as just being generally cranky.

Well this describes me.

I'm not having any fun. I got to get this straightened out. I realize it's a bad attitude to have. But unfortunately I am stuck with it right now.

We have had company (again) this time from Tennessee. Really love those boys. They are spending all their time with my son, and it has been no extra work for me.

I hate for them to see me in this mood. So I must shake it off!

Now that we have finished the 4H archery shoot, I can get to work on the house and yard for graduation. As soon as that is over I have to work serioiusly on getting my DAR application completed. Which brings me back to my BOM project. I still have 2 unfinished blocks, and one I haven't even looked at and it's nearly JUNE!

What made me think I would ever be able to do this?

I just haven't had a minute and when I do someone wants something from me (hence the crankiness).

If only I could win the lottery......and then I could open that craft store and have my huge work area and sell blanket binding and double stick tape.

I could make that if I had time

If only I had time to work on the projects I want to work on. But I'm stuck in a world that is not my own. At least not right now. I did manage to finish the baby quilt for my co-worker. If I keep the project simple I seem to do better. I laid out the last to BOM squares and will sew them tonight....maybe.
My friend is seriously ill with cancer. My daughter is preparing to graduate from high school. My husband has a 4H archery shoot this month. My son has 2 friends coming from Tennessee to stay with us for a week. My check book balance ..... I don't even want to think about that!
So, with all these other activities going on around me I am not able to focus on my own projects.
I am planning my daughter's graduation celebration, and that involves yard work and yard work - because the place has to be presentable. So while I am side-tracked this month, I keep reminding myself that in June it will be all about me! Maybe.....
