Spread a Little Thin
In my limited spare time, I have been trying to get several projects accomplished. Yesterday presented itself with a significant amount of time where I only had Brennan awake, so I decided to make some decent headway. As I looked at what all I had on my plate, I realized that I have developed my own family's bad habit of starting too many projects before getting others finished. If the opportunity presents itself, I buy the materials. I then want to jump in and start. Yet when the next materials are bought, I don't ask myself "should I finish the other project first?" and instead I just jump right into that new one. So now I have:
-the wallpaper ripped off of half of the master bath
-the first coat of stain on the media cabinet
-Philip's quilt top complete and the squares for Jonathan's cut
-half of the knobs replaced on the kitchen cabinets
-the doors from the master bath cabinets half stained
-the molding for repairing the kitchen cabinets stained
It is difficult to figure out which to tackle first. I think that I will set to have these finished by Easter. This means that I must force myself to not start anything else. What a good self control exercise for this Lenten season!

I think if I even started a list of partially completed projects, I might become overwhelmed.
I am amazed with four little boys, you are so ambitious! I finally finished touching up my living room paint job. Finally it will be done!!
Way too funny and so much like me!!!!
I thinks St Josemaria Escriva said that the hardest part of a project is not starting it, but finishing it well!
