The Countdown

The youngest Sweetie keeps a firm eye on the countdown for Christmas as do I. However our counts are for different purposes.

His, bless him, is for THE DAY, less than 40, I believe and mine is for the number of quilts that I have to quilt before THE DAY.



12 days ago I was at 26 quilts, and I nearly went back to bed for the rest of my life, now as of late last night I am at 18 quilts. So it is much better, however the pace is mind numbing.



At times like this I ask myself 'why is it sooooooo bad?' Too many extracurricular activities with the boys, ie Monopoly games and card games and maybe too much chewing the fat with them. As always it is a juggling act, however it is okay and this too will end. If only it wasn't the Monopoly games and the chewing of the fat as well.

You must work pretty quickly- congrats on getting the pile down to 18. I loved Christmas when the boys were little, but now I don't do much. Make the most of the time with them now, but then you know that don't you?
Sorry I missed the perth trip, but things just didn't work out; next year we'll be there...
