I'm sooooo tired!

I will be thanking God publicly on Thanksgiving with a post for that day but tonight all I can think about is how exhausted I am. Do you ever get so stressed out that you can't rest even you so wanted to? That is me lately. I got less than a week to make the open house happen and I'm not sure I can make it. The way I feel right know is like getting in a plane to a beach in Hawaii and forget about everything. I so loved what I do but this moving business and home deal have left me with no juice. Thank God that supports my spiritual side because I have so neglected my physical well being. I think that I have tried to do too much alone. I'm not good asking for help, I believe that if I see somebody in trouble and in need the asking is unnecessary, I can see. I have friends that have giving me a hand but everybody got so much going on in their own lives that I understand the limited help. I have tried to protect my husband by trying not to load his plate too much, he is the one paying the bills right now. 
I think that this move is going to be like giving birth. The labor pains are awful but when you hold that baby in your hands you know it was all worth it. Maybe I will be rested by the Holidays ( not Thanksgiving, I'm hosting) I know in my heart It is going to be all worth it. Let's talk about and look at pretty things, I need to, I want to.

                                         Love this two. Have to sell, come and get them.



                                        Old envelopes, some of them with the actual letters inside.
                                         This little doll is a consignment. I wish I can keep her.




                                           I keep adding stuff to the ice queen, I believe in layering.



                                                 I attached the metal piece to the moulding in order to disguise the supports for the bathroom ceiling .  I probably end up replacing with something else since I want this for my house.
                       Remember the bed with the pretty pink linen, there it is, not so pretty.

                                  I think I'm going to leave the wedding cabinet alone for now.

Are you ready for this? So you all know I'm not kidding, it is really bad.Room after room of a mess, I go in circles since I don't know where to start.







                           Some day (better be next week) this will be a pretty check out stand.
                                                                 Arg.....

Last, can you say cute? Juju has grown. His hair is almost 2.5 inches long. He is fluffy and bad. He is still doing number 1 and 2 in my floors a lot. I don't know where I have gone wrong. I'm headed for obedience school when I get done with the mess at the shop. I didn't know you can love so much a dog, even when they are bad. The paper crown and the can are the road kill after Juju got done with them. He steal stuff, shoes, ornaments, everything he is not supposed to take he does. My poor husband went to Petsmart and got him some expensive toys. Do you think he cares? I don't blame him. Can you imagine bringing a 2 year old into an antique shop and letting him run around, too much sensory stuff.

Well, my friends, that is all for today, oops, it is the next day already, 1:40 CT. Maybe I feel better later today. Just need to focus and get it done. Blessings, Marta.
