A need for completion

I'm running around like a headless chicken and I need to learn to say NO!

Due to my "soft get" attitude during the school vacation which I have to work half of I seem to have said yes to :

• going & turning the eggs that we are hatching at school every other day
• adopting all the seeds that we are growing at school & making sure they are fed & in the sun etc
• watching a distant neighbours animals.....without finding out what they were beforehand...a dog/2 cats & a big turtle
• another friend asked if we could watch their 9 week old puppy for a week...my husband gave me the evil eye!!! I did say no though.

I have a list of stuff I need to complete as I find that everything is not finished & it is giving me this backed up & overwhelming feeling...all my own fault! Very disconcerting!

So this week I am going to accomplish:

• finish my sweater that I am knitting
• read a book
• get haircuts for all the kids & myself
• hopefully a day at the seaside
• clear out the wardrobes & get the summer clothes out
• wash all the ski gear....that was in progress however on Saturday we had 4 inches of slushy snow!
• pay all the bills on time
• stop & enjoy some peace

Wish me luck!
