trying to get ready for Thanksgiving...

Last week and over the weekend, I was very busy.  Friday, after work I went and got my hair colored and cut.  It’s short again and the color is chestnut brown.  I actually had a guy do my hair this time…I think I like it!  So by the time I got home I was already running late for one my friend’s daughter’s birthday party.  On Saturday, I cleaned the living room and waited for the furniture guy to come repair my couch that had a spring sticking out.  He didn’t show up until almost 2:30 p.m.  

On Sunday, I was helping out at a fundraiser that we were holding for the baseball league and didn’t get home until late in the evening.  So I really didn’t get much done at home.    

This morning I got to work late.  Got there and my boss was already there in a meeting.  Had me doing too many things at once that I actually ended up screwing something up!  Damn!  Not good…!  I think I’m losing it!

I’m getting stressed and I’m feeling it.  But it’s my own fault.  As always, when it comes to home, I tend to wait until the last minute to get things done.  Right now, I’m in the process of clearing some things out in my basement.  And of course, I keep getting interrupted.  If it’s not the kids, it’s the dogs or my husband.  So here I am taking a mini break.  

I just can’t believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  I kept thinking I still had another week or so.  How times flies!!!!  

And to boot, certain sections of my house do not have electricity.  Why?  I don’t know.  I may have blown a fuse, or possibly something even worse!  My husband doesn’t know much about electricity so he called a friend to check out the fuse box.  That guy said, it doesn’t look like it’s the fuse box; it may be something more of an electrical problem!    Great!  Just great!

My husband called an electrician.  He’s supposed to come to check it out tomorrow.   I hope it’s not too serious!  And I hope he can fix it before Thanksgiving!

I know I have a lot of cleaning up to do at home.  Again, don’t know where to begin.  Everywhere I turn there is a mess!  Can’t seem to get this house in any kind of order.  Where did I go wrong?  Every day, it seems to be getting worse and worse.  

I decided to begin by cleaning and clearing out some of the junk in the basement.  Hopefully, I can get it clean enough to look presentable.  

I know there will be quite a few people coming over for Thanksgiving and there’s much to be done.  So I gotta cut with the chit chat!  Gotta go!
