He's a custom home builder and in May, he puts a home in a Parade of Home Tour. To show well, the home has to be furnished and decorated, and that's my job. I had to pickout all the furniture and have it ordered by a local furniture store who will allow us to show it for the advertising. We will also need rugs, lamps, plants, placemats, table settings, bath accessories, everything it takes to make a show home. Some of the items we buy and return after the show, some we borrow, some come from our own home. A local artist is allowing us to display some of her paintings. It's quite a project. Then during the tour, I help him staff the home.

We also have vacation planning...church activities....we're getting a used 5th wheel RV ready for one of our daughters to live in at college next fall...we're selling a piece of property and some of my stuff is still in the buildings...we're trying to sell our home so we can build again either here or in another city. It just seems like there is a lot to do that takes time away from sitting here at the computer. And of course, we all have to deal with cleaning and laundry.

This is probably much more detail than you wanted. We ALL have busy lives and sometimes think ours is busier than others. I just get tired and stressed at times, like everyone does, and lately, I've been a bit extra stressed, not over anything really important, just the day to day stuff of life.
