Things get done when they get done and now that the summer (and visitors) is coming to a close, indoor jobs will take priority once more.

I don't get nearly as much crafting done because he wants me to go on errands, etc. with him. And that's more important than my crafting. On the other hand, he does lots of my chores now. For example, I made dinner while he was on the phone with an old co-worker. Now he is upstairs washing dishes while I check my friends blogs. So I guess it's just finding a new equilibrium. And if I don't get as much crafting done as I used to, that's okay too because he is much more important to me. :-)<br />Love all of your goodies. I'm hoping to start putting my nine-patch cozy memory blanket together if it's big enough.<br />Take care Sam.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-9484643296553652402022-08-18T11:01:22.991-07:002022-08-18T11:01:22.991-07:00Finding that perfect balance is hard.

The afternoon is spent doing what pleases me. (Ie: swimming, crafting, reading etc). Then dinner and after I watch TV with hubby until bedtime. This has worked well for me but may not be for everyone. We live in a hea ily populated LDS community. It is a great place to raise a family as their family values are very strong.Leftycrafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607852055622555069noreply@blogger.com
