Stress!
The preggo brain has set in and so have the hormones.  I am a walking time bomb.  I am happy one minute.. calm and relaxed and then BLAM!  I remember I forgot to do a million things and I become cranky, crazed, and mean!  I don't remember being this unreliable in my first pregnancy.  I am forgetting stupid things... I forgot to put stamps on some mail and it was returned to me... now it's late.  I forgot to check what day I made a spa appt on and it turned out that I made it for a Tuesday instead of the Saturday that I showed up.  I was super pissed about that one!  I forget what day it is sometimes.  I'm a mess!  I can't concentrate either. I  try to start a new project, get sidetracked (usually by a very bossy 3 year old) and then end up accomplishing NOTHING!  I'm thinking I need a vacation from summer vacation!  I need to go away for a weekend by myself.  I'm no good to anyone right now.  I am anti social and crabby. I just want to do what I want to do with no distractions.  Is that crazy?  Where would I go?  How could I possibly do this on my own?  I'm so tempted to just go!  To where?  Well, I'm pulled to the water... a beach of sorts.  I would love to go to the Cape, but that is too far to drive by myself and too expensive to justify.  SO, I am thinking just renting a room at Sylvan Beach on Oneida Lake and veg out.  Scrap all day, eat when I want, sleep when I feel like it.  Just sit in the sand?  okay, it's a dream.  It's probably not going to happen. Life is not fair and with Matt working and everyweekend filling up, I am having a hard time just planning this. I feel guilty and tempted all the same. I do have a week until I spend an entire week (Mon- Fri. 8-5) at a papermaking workshop with Margie Hughto.  She is a very well known artist locally and has work all over the world.  I am so excited to see her studio and spend a week making ART for myself!  Maybe that will re-energize me.  Art always does.  NO disruptions, just artists working together.  I'm super ready for that!  So, I will post pics when I am done with that workshop and who knows, it might take my scrap art in a new direction!  Now, to get some stuff done and stop putting it off and stop whining about all that's making me crazy in my life.
