Today is the first day of my stay-cation ! I'm super excited. I've always wanted to take time off at home to do the things I love. There is no reason for me to pack a bag, travel, go to a new place, just to relax - is there? After all, the things I love to do the most are here. I'm talking about sewing, horseback riding, gardening and baking.
Here lies the problem, I took my much dreamed about stay-cation the week before my son's wedding. YIKES. Company arrives today and I have a million "things to do" . I'm sitting here writing my list now. The list consists of : buying new kitchen rugs, getting sparklers for the bride and groom, looking at lounge chairs,and much other nonsense. Seriously Ann?! Get ahold of yourself !!! These things are not necesary for your son's wedding. Ok. maybe the sparklers.
The good news is I took 2 weeks off ! I've never done that - ever. The next two weeks I have the opportunity to live the simple creative live I dream about. First, I must change the tapes in my head . This morning I will quiet the noise of a busy Northern Virginia lifestyle and start living the farm girl life.
The garden was tilled last week and tomotoes and peppers were planted. I have some seeds that need planted. Maybe today. Time to start scratching things off the list rather than adding them. I did mod-podge a deck table last night. Our deck needs some sprucing up.
I do have that dreaded Costco trip though... ugh.
Company starts arriving today and the house must be cleaned. I got this.

Procrastination
Remember when I was going to start blogging? Last Month. I believe I said something in that post about having good intentions. Did I mention I am a procastinator?
Today I am at work looking out the window of my office at the beautiful sunshine and the Azelea bushes. I love Azelea bushes for 1 week out of the year. That was last week. This week they are done.
My goal for the next two and half weeks is to remain sane while helping with my son's wedding.
Notes to self:
1. You are the mother of the GROOM
2. Its not about you.
3. No one is going to judge you by the wedding.
4. Dont go broke adding things
5. You promised to make the veil. Make the veil.
6. Stop looking at wedding websites.
I have not started my vegetable garden yet because I am distracted by the wedding.
I havent stuck to my diet because I am distracted by the wedding.
I havent paid my bills because I'm distracted by the wedding.
Have I mentioned that I am a procrastinator. I'm letting an event that I am only helping to plan distract me. My part is done. Its time to focus on my own life and what I'm committed to do.
The farm girl I wantabe would be making the veil and starting to till the garden. The internet has not been my friend this week.
Tonight I work on the veil. I'll post pictures soon. Its going to be lovely.
