Lacking Focus and Inspiration

The past few days I have tirelessly worked on my Spring Break wish list.  But I've run across a few problems.  

I've had a hard time staying focused.  I have flitted from one thing to another -- here, there and everywhere.  I have obsessively and tediously scanned pictures in an effort to digitize them, while ironing in between each slow, lengthy scan.  I have put away the dishes in the middle of dusting the family room, pausing briefly to catch a glimpse of DVR-delayed episodes of Chopped and The Amazing Race (my weakness -- that darn TV).   I have organized the DVDs while clipping coupons and making calls to expedite the home-painting process.  

(I've come the conclusion that we do NOT need any more Barbie DVDs.  We have plenty.)

I have gone to bed late each evening, feeling frustrated that I did not get more done.  And last night I went to bed with a purple toe, thanks to a frozen beef roast slipping from the second-to-top shelf of the freezer onto my bare foot as I was trying to retrieve something (anything) for dinner.  I was going to take a picture in a quest for sympathy, but my feet are TUTP.  Too Ugly To Post.  Any thought of a pedicure is now on hold, until the purple toe can handle movement and massage.

Yesterday I started in on this little project:

I love this wall in my family room.  My father-in-law made the shelves for us years ago, and it has been admired by friends, family, and neighbors for a long, long time.   But it was in some serious need of dusting -- a fairly tedious process which requires furniture moving and a ladder.  I was up for the challenge (and an episode of Chopped).  As I took everything down, I started feeling like a change would be nice.  It's pretty much been the same for 8 years or so, give or take a picture add/change.

But thus far I have been uninspired.

So this is what it looks like right now.  I know, pathetic.  At the very least, I will change out the family pictures, but I would really like an updated, new look.  With minimal expense, of course.  I'm thinking maybe all black frames... or something symmetrical (that would make Bill happy)... possibly losing the Willow Tree figurines (which I plan to keep, just not in the family room)...

ANY IDEAS?

Today I hope to be focused.  Complete one task before moving on.
Someone shared this with me years ago...

Work while you work.
Play while you play.
One thing at a time, that is the way.

In all that you do,
Do with your might.
A job done in halves, is never done right.

I have recruited the help of two lovely girls to assist me with the housework.  I'd better go wake them up.
