52 Weeks Let Down

I feel really guilty for having neglected 52 Weeks of Pinterest for the last month or so. I don't even have the excuse of being busy and simply not having the time. In all honesty, I just haven't thought about it lately. The few times I have remembered that I am supposed to be doing a recipe it has been at the end of the week and usually after we have already gone shopping. As for the crafts, I always seem to be working on something else that I want to get done before I start something new. Then I just forget again.

I did try to make the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes this morning. I got all of the ingredients out and ready to go... then realized I have no milk and won't be able to get to the store to get some for at least another two days or so. I guess I have no choice to put those off a little longer. I was also going to make a teriyaki chicken dish in the slow cooker. Again, was all ready to make it and realized that I forgot to buy the pineapples the last time we went grocery shopping. I'm thinking that I will be doing a lot of cooking next week.

Cooking and crafts. I have two crochet projects to catch-up on for 52 Weeks, plus a couple that I am trying to get finished before the baby gets here. Also, I have some button art that I want to do for the nursery (since I probably won't be getting my Etsy prints), and I have to find a substitute for the egg shell candles that I was supposed to make for Easter. I am definitely going to be a busy girl over the next week if I can be disciplined and motivated enough to make myself get all of this done. Maybe it will help pass the time waiting for the little man to arrive.

I don't think too many people care one way or the other if I get every week done. I care, though. This is something that I really want to accomplish to prove to myself that I can. So, I feel really bad, like I've let myself down, when I have missed a week or two (or four, as I have now).

For my own sake, I am going to try really hard to catch-up. I hope I can catch-up by the time the little guy gets here, because I know it is going to be so hard to get these things done after he is born.

Before I end this post, though, I would just like to say that all of this time hasn't been a complete waste. I have been working on projects outside of 52 Weeks of Pinterest. I've made several baby hats and started a crochet blanket for the little guy, and I've almost finished a knitted blanket that I am making as a gift for someone. So, I haven't been totally lazy. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that. Haha!
