Too Much of a Good Thing is... Still Too Much

well, okay, if we're talking "good things" like meltaway chocolate candy pieces or uninterrupted sleep, then you can never have enough

but even "good things" can still be too much because at the moment I am sinking into the quicksand of too much and most of the quicksand is made up of good things

I have a wedding quilt to finish (binding only) that the wedding was in January, at least binding is now pinned and hopefully I'll get it done tomorrow while I proctor the SAT (pictures will come later)

I have a wedding quilt to start for a wedding in October for a cousin who in the last few months has become so much of a better friend than I ever would have imagined and I want to make this quilt amazingly awesome for her and her beloved, but in order to do that I need time, space, and energy (all of which are not happening lately)

I have to finish my 3D snowman quilt and get him in the mail to Canada before he melts away (he was supposed to take his little trip on Monday, but here it is Friday and I'm not. quite. finished. yet.  hopefully he'll get finished during the SAT tomorrow also, along with my own 3D snowman to keep (pictures will come later)

and I have a TON of fabric postcards to make and get in the mail because I signed up for these exchanges, and these exchanges are really fun, but now I can't remember if I'm coming or if I'm going, can't remember what ones I've done and what ones I haven't done, and who knows when they're due (and believe it or not, I just signed up for two more of them, but only to exchange with one person, not multiples)

then, of course, are the cherished graduation fleece quilts.  I absolutely must pull them out and figure out whose I have and whose I have to make still and then I need to make sure they're washed and don't have animal hair all over them and then I need to start distributing them.  I love this time of year and the look on their faces when I had them their blanket.  "My" girls should know they're getting one, this is the 6th year I've done it, but the girls who weren't in my class but who I have a friendship get one and they're always surprised since they weren't expecting it, and the guys never quite know that they're getting one, but they're the funnest ones to watch their faces (and then hear from their moms afterwards about how they sleep with it every night).  I love making the graduation quilts.  I have this year and two more years and then I don't have them anymore, sigh, that's sort of sad.

and then lastly comes real life... I'm packing up to move and so everything is in disarray and disorder; I have my last child graduating high school (can you believe it); I have a child graduating college (that's even more unbelievable) and I just feel like I'm spinning in circles...

remember that old whirly-gig thing at the amusement park where it went faster and faster and then the bottom fell out?  yeah, that's my life at the moment
