Now let me try to explain what I mean.
Since December I have been making quilts to sell at a carnival to help raise money for child heart disease. I'm trying to get a good variety of quilts with the hope that I can get my name out there and maybe be able to bring in a little extra cash on the side.
Well my house is a disaster right now. I can't get anyone to help me out around here and I can't take the mess anymore. I'm just about to the point where I want to call the lady and tell her I can't do it. I have invested a lot of time and money into this and have all the tops made but am finding it difficult to complete the quilts let alone work on my weight loss and clean house and take care of everybodies wants and needs. I think the
combined stress is really getting to me and I don't know what to do. I just feel like giving up on the quilting thing.
I'm sorry to dump this on you all and be a downer but I really needed to
vent. Oh and trying to tell them all of this just goes in one ear and out the other. Frankly I am sick of it and them.
Irishrose if you want I can post pictures of the blocks that have made
already. Just let me know. :-)
Carrie,
I am so sorry you are under such stress. But remember you are a wonderful person. As such you deserve loving yourself enough to stay on your weigh loss challenge. Please do not give up on yourself.
I know the reason I am over weight is because when things go wrong I RUN to food.
Stay strong you can do this, you are worth the work.
