Trying To Finish It All!

I promised some short posts, but I had been so out of the habit that I let it slide. This is always a crazy time for me – trying to finish so many things, and getting frustrated when I fall behind. I need a new organizational chart – that’s the only way I can work. Make lists, check off completion, and follow a simple rule: finish one task before beginning another. Right now, cookies are almost finished, shopping is almost complete, cards are almost ready to go, and I’m almost ready to take a long rest!
I informed my three grown children that I want to divest myself of some of the Christmas chores next year. Of course, what I received in reply were blank stares. So, I’ll leave it go for now, but will introduce it again (and supply them with lists!!!) after the holidays.
My big news [enter sound of trumpets] – we’re going to be grandparents again in late June or early July!! So exciting.
Be back soon with more.

Peace,
Muff

Now I know that Muff is for sure back. I got breathless after reading your to-do list. You amaze me. As for your children's blank stare, could it have been shock and/or fear at confronting the reality of where you are physically? Congratulations on the new grandkid!

Hi, Kim,
I know any mother would understand the blank stare -- did we teach them that??

Hi, Judy,
No, not nearly as busy as in the past. You may be right about the kids' expressions -- it also might be their inability to accept changes in their "traditions."
