A woman torn..

Those of you who know me, are well acquainted with my need to do everything. Normally I manage to limit what I actually end up doing (edit from her husband, she doesn't limit herself that much) so that I don't go totally crazy. But lately I find myself with FAR too much to do. Or should say, far too much that I want to do.
  • I want to finish my first quilt, however I waited to long to buy the fabric for the binding and the backing and now none of my local fabric stores carry the fabric any more. Oh and going to multiple fabric stores to try to find the fabric I need only made my problems worse by opening my eyes to even more projects for me to attempt.
  • I need to finish Tessa's Christmas stocking. She is approaching her 5Th Christmas with no stocking of her own. See my mom started this tradition of sewing these adorable stitched felt applique stockings. They are all cute and "happy hands at home" so of course I needed to continued the tradition.
  • I found a whole bunch of new crochet patterns that I am dying to try.
  • Don't even get me started on how many things I want to sew. Anyone need an apron? They are kinda my current obsession.
  • I need to take the puppy to puppy school. He finally made it to the vet to get his last puppy shots so I should probably get him signed up now.
  • I am a not so closet video game nut. I have a WoW Cataclysm bucket list that needs crossing off. Just got Loremaster Eastern Kingdoms last night, woot!
  • I want to make more cakes. This is a new hobby for me, one that I LOVE. But they take up a massive amount of my available resources, it is amazingly hard to decorate a cake while dodging my minions.
  • Ah the minions! Summer is here and it is my first full summer break as a stay at the home mom. It goes without saying that I am beyond excited! There are so many things I want to do with my kids! Trips to the beach, the park, the zoo. Playing in the sprinkler, making Popsicles. Teaching Daden to ride his bike with no training wheels. Going on Ryders first camping trip!
Does anyone else have this problem, or is it just me? So how do you do it? How do you do everything on your list and still stay sane? Thoughts? Where to draw the line, how to prioritize?

Family first, of course. But all that other crap? I have no idea. Maybe I can stop sleeping at night. Somewhere in there I should probably make some time for exercise.......nah!

:D
