i'd like to say i've been thinking of things, but i've been putting off (oops, interruption..gaffer told me he peed in the potty, and he did. good job) thinking about them.
1) planning landscape plan for friend's mom. fun work, but a lot of work, and the money will definitely help. have to pull out old gardening books. am very excited. feeling professional and important again. careerwise. i'm very happy being at home.
2) attempting to plan a camping trip, girls only, through our church. when? how much?
how many? can i do it on my own? do i have time to plan it? will anyone come?
3) 'amazing race' in Ottawa this saturday. will i fail my rockstar hubby if we have to run a lot? will we win?
4) novel i'm working on. what's the next chapter? when do i stop writing it, and work on editing to bring it together? is it too long?
5) art show coming up over thanksgiving...will i sell anything? should i still do thanksgiving dinner?
6) contemplating buying a tree company, so we can expand our own. is it viable? is it too much work? can we afford it? will the profits exceed the debts? what if we screw it up? what if hubby works too much? will i have to work? what about gaffer? what if we fail? but what if we do well?
7) potting training. when?
8) selling the cottage...huh. where i grew up. how hard will it be to let go?
yah, head is reeling as i need to think about these things, but i need some time to think. does that make sense? it's like i need my big notebook to make notes, and i need quiet to do it. perhaps i should skip nap today to do it. but then i want to work on another painting. and i have to plan this week's dinner menu. and my veggies need to be fertilized. sigh.
i'm not complaining of too much to do. it's too much thinking to do.

Mental workouts can be very tiring on their own. Praying for you with all the many many decisions. For clarity, for mental stamina, and for patience for the questions you can't get an answer for as soon as you might like.
Some of the questions don't require answers... Will you sell anything at the art show? That only matter if that is the only reason you are doing it...Is the book too long? Editing will figure that out for you.... Will you win the amazing race? You would enter it even if you didn't and you will have fun even if you don't win. Hope that helps to get some things off your mind.
Yup- lots to think about indeed- but nothing to worry about. Goaliemom is right though- some of the questions will take care of themselves. And some of them don't need to be answered for a while. And as for the cottage- the home where I grew up was sold last year- it is sad, but it's OK. You'll be fine with it.
