You are not alone! Before I retired I had people tell me they were busier than when they worked, etc. I thought they were crazy! BUT it's true because you get involved in things you've been unable to and often I have trouble focusing on quilting.
You have a TON of stuff going on - my thoughts? Don't attempt major projects now - wait until after the holidays. So, pick up a quilting magazine and dream about one(s) you want to work on later. If you keep going back to the same pattern, keep studying it and when you are ready to tackle it, the mountain won't seem so steep!
Let us know how you're doing. Hang in there you can do it!! :thumbup:
