Catching up...

I'm way behind on posts these days...I've been doing a lot of crochet and just relaxing around the house.  I've felt a little "off" lately.  It's hard to explain.  I don't cry much anymore...I think I still feel numb...or am back to feeling numb.  I can't quite pinpoint it.  I can't even describe it...except to say I'm "off."  I want to get stuff done around the house and have been trying, but after about 10 or 20 minutes of doing something, I'm done.  I have little spurts of energy and motivation and then I just don't want to do it anymore...



I did accomplish getting a whole month's worth of grocery shopping and food prep done and put into the freezer though! Yay!  It's made life so much easier over the past few days.  And we're eating healthy, unprocessed food to top it off!  That was last weekend's project...now I'm hoping I can keep doing that each month.  Taking ONE day to accomplish a month's worth of food prep.

Camden built me a pantry in the coat closet in our kitchen that we NEVER used as a coat closet.  It has allowed me to completely clear off my kitchen counters which is SO nice!  Now to finish getting the kitchen cleaned up...baby steps...

I also accomplished getting my crafts posted.  I was going to do an Etsy store, but then just decided to go with Facebook for now.  So far I've got three orders!!  I'm so excited!  It gives me something to focus on...my crafts are the only thing keeping me sane...

I don't know if my crafting is my therapy or what, but it is the only thing I want to do...I mean, I do want to do other things, but crafts are the only thing I can focus on for any amount of time...I told you I felt off...

I will be updating the blog with my remaining Capture Your Grief things and my new project for November is the Art Every Day project (go to the Creative Every Day Blog for more info).  My crochet crafts might be all I'm doing, but who knows...maybe I'll start some other crafts, too...I've been thinking about going back to my beads and jewelry making stuff...or I have my Cricut to start crafting with, too...or I wanted to try my hand at metal stamping...or maybe glass painting and/or etching...I dunno...lots of possibilities! I have to get my craft stuff organized...yet another task...I'm going to take the next few weeks to try to do a little bit every day to get my life and home organized...I think I'll feel much better going back to work that way...I think...

The other thing I'm doing for the month of Nov...yesterday was the first of the month and so many people posted that they were going to use each day of the month to say what they are thankful for...because it's hard to feel like there are things to be thankful for when my life is in shambles, I thought I'd post about the people who I am thankful for since they are the things keeping me together right now...

My Nov 1 post on FB: "Today I am thankful for Jessica - I had a wonderful time last night. From the first day you found out my boys were here, you've lent an incredible amount of support and love. I enjoy each conversation we have and appreciate your support more than I could ever say. Thank you for being there for me and thank you for introducing me to many other girls who will be named later this month! :) You are a beautiful and wonderful person."

I will post today's in a post later today or tomorrow...as I continue to catch up...
