Today i was kept from sewing by:
sleeping late
setting up the machine so mom could quilt her placemats
setting the washer so Mom could do her laundry at my house
making Mom and me tacos for lunch
cleaning up the kitchen
starting another laundry load for Mom
fixing a jammed machine for Mom
answering the phone
refilling a bobbin for Mom
cutting some strips for my own project-in-progress (for the past week and a half!)
being on baby-holding duty for the neighbor who needed to walk the dogs for 20 minutes
loading Mom's antique quilt into my washer for her
loading Mom's antique quilt into the dryer for her

I plain pooped of waiting on everybody else!! And now i don't even want to sew.

You did a lot of stuff for mom, and you seem exhausted. You will continue to do, and be happy to do so. I do a lot of stuff for mom, and I am totally grateful she is still here to ask me to do. Mom is 84, still drives, goes to the gym a couple of times a week, and I'm just thrilled
