All Play and No Work

So lately when I've had some time (kids sleeping), I've either napped or lamented on how frustrating housework gets when you are behind...

I played too much last weekend.  Mounds of laundry.  My sewing room never quite got organized and now it's a disaster again.  I have sewing things on 3 levels of my house and it's all supposed to be up in the attic...

I didn't drink any coffee today and the bed is screaming for me to just curl up and get 40 winks...

Should I?

Or should I be the responsible parent and try to catch up on this laundry (and run a load of dishes and sweep and mop the kitchen... and vac the living room... or maybe I should just start off by having a brownie and some coffee and see if the spirit moves me...

I'd much rather just quilt.

Yesterday, I went to Quilter's Haven (my closest store- one of my favorites, too) and found 3 fat quarters to help me finish my block for June's KC Scrappy Bee.  Yes, I know... I'm way ahead.  What I'm working on isn't due until mid July and I'm the one that it's due to (it's for my month of the virtual quilting bee) but I am so very excited about it and I couldn't wait to begin it!

Want to see what it looks like so far?  I don't have a picture of the fabric I just bought, but if memory serves, it's a blue striped fabric, a purple fabric and a pink one...

Well upon searching, it seems I haven't taken a picture of my progress on it just yet... So stay tuned.  Maybe in the next day or so I'll get it finished and snap a picture for all the world to see...

But for now, my freshly brewed pot of Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee is calling my name... just a little louder than my pillow is...

See ya, friends!

*** time passes...

Update:  4 cups of coffee later and I am jazzed.  I got 3 load of laundry folded and some of it put away... 2 more loads in the washer/dryer and only 3 more dirty piles to go!  Yes!  Also, I worked for about 45 minutes calling people to try to get a firm head count for my in-law's 50th wedding anniversary party (yes, 50 years.  Imagine!) and I had a brownie and some pizza.  Caffeine always makes me WIRED.  So I'd better keep at it...  Maybe my house will be recognizable by suppertime...
