Today is hard. I'm having a hard time with life today. Yesterday, I was busily making and baking gingerbread houses. We are having a Gingerbread house decorating party after church tomorrow and PW and I are baking all the houses. We waited, of course, until the weekend of to start baking. I knew better, I knew I should have started weeks ago. But, the professional procrastinator that I have become, I waited. Back to what happened yesterday, I came down with really painful stomache cramps. I thought maybe it was stress, but then thinking really hard, I realized I have had these stomache cramps for a few days on and off, nothing to bad, just random. But in the middle of a baking frenzy, I was literally floored with pain. I was laying on the floor when PW showed up to help bake. I of course put on my good little soldier face and got up and went on, pains and all. Today, they are less. They were not at all until I ate a sandwich and some soup for lunch. I decided to forgo breakfast in the hope that my tummy would feel better empty. Anyway, I have very little energy and about 15 houses left to bake. When done baking, I will need to make enough Royal icing to put them all together. FUNNNNN!!!!!!! It should have been, now I'm just hoping I can get it all done and behind me. Thank goodness I'm not really doing this alone as it sounds above. Dear PW is baking away at home as we speak. I'll get through today.
The bummer is, I really would rather just skip the festivities tomorrow so I can stay in bed. But I won't, I'll get up and go on. Its what I do. From this perspective I think in my head that I won't volunteer for anything else for quite awhile. Ha, we all know better than that!
Blessings to you all, or just the one other person in the world that reads this drivel. |
