I feel like I'm pulling backwards.

I finished Jack's costume last night, and I'm very pleased with it. A.J.'s won't take nearly as long to make, so I'm optimistic about that one. Mine and Philip's, however, will take a lifetime.

*sigh*

There's so much stuff going on in these next couple of weeks. When I start thinking about it all, my head starts to swim. It's crazy, and I really feel like there's just no way I'll get everything done in time. I don't think I've ever felt quite so hopeless for things to turn out the way I'd like them to, but then again, I'm not sure I've ever had quite so much on my plate at one time. Darn Halloween coming at the same time that I need to worry about moving.

(Even though this is exactly what I'd hoped for, really. I can only blame this on myself, as I had wanted this all along.)

My kitties are sensing my stress. They've been right next to me for a few days now, constantly wanting to help snuggle me or purr away my worries. I'd really love to just forget everything and do nothing but scritch my furry friends, but there's just so much to do.

So. Much!

The crazy ward is starting to look a bit too inviting...

I'll meet you at the crazy ward and we can hang out. I think the stress of school is going to kill me. I have hardly slept in a week.

It's good that you have one costume done. You're almost halfway done! :D

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Only 1/4 of the way done. We all four will have matching costumes. :-)

Cool. What are you going to be? I must have missed the post where you told us. My memory is shot from school.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Nah, you didn't. I never said on LiveJournal. :-)

Nicole, what are you all going to be? (I might have read it, but I don't remember).

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Actually, I hadn't said yet here on LiveJournal. ;-)

[donnazita.livejournal.com]

Ok. I was wondering if I'd forgotten. ;) Memory problems are a part of what I have.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

No, no. They've not been discussed on LJ - no worries.

did that headache at least go away?

Take some time to scritch the cats. Stuff will either get done or it won't. You started with the kids costumes - which are the most important. No body is going to die if you don't get yours & Phillips done - or if they aren't perfect. Sometimes the best way to cope is to lower your standards.

Actually, the headache has started to subside some this week. That was a welcome relief. I've only been taking something morning and night.

As for the rest, this is where I fail at life. I truly just can't lower my standards, it seems. Thank God I did have the presence of mind to decide against throwing a huge Halloween bash this year (though I must admit, it's killing my holiday spirit inside not to do so).

If you need anything call me!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

You're welcome to do the last two costumes, if you'd like! ;-)

[starrchld.livejournal.com]

I think you will do them much better than I could :-)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Ha. Ha ha ha ha ha! Har har hee hee ha!

*chokes*

Seriously, if you'd seen them yet, you'd say differently.
