What's new

What are you currently avoiding ?

I'm avoid packing, cleaning, sorting, etc.... In the past few days it has been decided that my youngest son & I will be moving apx 500 miles to live with/take care of my mother. Target date is the end of this month....and there's just SO MUCH STUFF to go through & make decisions about. I am overwhelmed, and sorta' kinda' working on a schedule in my head, so I can break it down into more manageable bits of work; and of course, I sill have to work too, so even finding the energy to get started will be a challenge some days.
 
collecting science fair project photos...for 3 boys who are not into it but have to do it, and a mom who will have to crack a whip she doesn't want to crack. bhahaha

I'm avoiding everything. hahaha! I am browsing for couches online. We are getting a new one FOR SURE in a couple of weeks but I can't find one in store that is what I am looking for, so I am looking online and reading reviews...lol Even though hubby will never let me order one without sitting on it. I am trying to get a better feel for what I want and how much it is going to cost :)

DH and I have arguments about couches all the time (even in store - he has long legs, i'm short, so the couches i feel comfortable sitting on, he feels they don't have a deep enough seat etc, and don't start me on fabric - we can never agree on texture!) Good luck with the online hunt

I'm avoiding unpacking the dishwasher and going back into school for another (Parents and Citizens) meeting

You know...every other time we have had to buy one it has been an argument. And BEFORE actually looking he was all like "I am really tall! I need a really high back! I want to be comfortable in my home." To which I said "You know...there are 6 people in this house and only 1 of them is tall." :/ He has been much easier about it every since. lol! He actually graciously told me I could get whatever I wanted. That I was right and he could get a high back chair. That I am home the most and use the couch the most so it would make sense that if we were going to favor one person in the house, it would be me. So he was very sweet....finally lol! But now I feel all kinds of pressure and hate deciding things...so it's hard haha!

That's actually an awesome and sweet story and he conceded to logic like an adult should! and i'm kinda jealous LOL I also get the pressure/indecision thing! I've looked online myself too but style-wise DH & I have differing opinions too (uggh!)
We've given up hunting again (we go thru this phase a few times a year, usually sparked by going to buy or update something else) and the short story is that as i type this, I'm sitting on the sofabed my parents bought me when i moved out of home for Uni/college, that he hates, that only got moved into our main lounge room when his one from before we were married literally died (the webbing stuff under the seat cushions caved and the work to recover it and fix it etc was not something either of us wanted and thus began our couch hunt/argument cycle )

I went to the meeting... could only put that off so long but the dishwasher i still gotta do - i'm telling myself i can have a coffee and scrap while netflix is on after i empty the dishwasher... psyching myself up LOL
 
Getting back to healthy eating - and cleaning the bathroom ha!
 
I'm avoiding cleaning my basement studio. For over 20 years I was an avid stamper/paper crafter, so I have too much stuff. Which is fine, except that every time I get it organized the way I want it it is time to move again (we're army). That would be fine except the army movers never fail to dump everything out into large boxes meaning that every move it has to be redone. It's been over a year and I haven't done it yet. It's unpacked, not organized at all, and a giant mess. It's time to move again this summer and I promised hubby I would downsize it. I have to get down there and sort it, semi-organize it, and throw away some things. Yes, I carry around every size and shape imaginable of chipboard boxes and tins thinking that someday I will turn them into beautiful art projects. I also have enough cardstock to supply several cardmakers for life but I need to just let it go. It's so hard! I have so many pretty papers! I have 5 months to get it done. Time to stop avoiding it and what am I doing? Perusing the forums. Sitting on my butt. Just thinking about throwing out about a thousand (old) ink pads makes me cringe. I know it has to be done...and I can keep the stamps, right? Luckily, those are all unmounted. I don't want to go down there!
