I wish I were feeling thin in the pants... but alas, I'm only feeling thinly stretched.
I am an advertiser's dream... just ask Husband. If a commercial comes on for a hamburger, it always sounds so good I just have to have one. Chicken? I to have some that's "finger lickin' good". A new coffee drink? Can we skip the glass and just give it to me intravenously? Subway commercials are really the killers for me, especially when I'm pregnant. With Son, Husband and I were at our local Subway often enough that I didn't even have to tell them what I wanted. True confession time? It was so bad that when I sent Husband in to get a sandwich for me at 1:30 am, they knew what to make when he walked in. I'm not just a sucker for food advertisements, though. I want to try so many things. The Perfect Patch grass seed, Aqua Globes, Diamonique jewelry, you name it...
So what does all this have to do with being stretched thin?
Enter the national home improvement store advertisers. They convinced me that since it was a long weekend it would be the perfect time to start all of those little projects around the house. Please note that if you really listen to those commercials, they don't tell you that it is the perfect weekend to complete all those little projects, just to start them. Well, I bought it. I started several of those "little projects". I finished none of those little projects. I really hate (I don't often use the word hate, in fact it is a naughty word in our house, but that's how strongly I feel about this!) not having things finished. It stresses me out. It makes me not sleep well. Then I am tired and don't have the energy to work on the things that are stressing me out and not making me sleep well, and it just is a vicious ugly circle. Oh how I need to break the circle!
I am sitting here, typing away, formulating a plan. I wonder if it will work? It all starts with me being up around 5:00 am tomorrow, so I Really Ought To Be heading off for bed, or at least off to folding the laundry that is impeding my path to the bed.
Wish me luck! Does anyone have a sleeping pill so that I can get a good night sleep before being up at 0-dark:30?

I know exactly how you feel. My to-do list has been growing for quite a few days, and while I'd like to get everything done all at once, I'm afraid I'm going to have to focus on one thing at a time. :-/
OK, now I am curious. What was that famous Subway sandwich made of?
