It's a Problem!

Problem I have is always wanting to do two-plus things at a time.  Even when I was a kid I wouldn't go to sleep if we had company or if we were at somebody else house...I was afraid I would miss out on something.  What something?   I do not know, never knew what I would miss out on and still don't know; however I am still afraid of missing out.

I am in my art room right now working on a couple of projects; finishing up a commission of a couple of small pieces that are beginning to be done, and at the I hope end of a landscape I am doing for the art show next month.  Now you would think my head would be full of the tasks at hand; however I hear Greta in the other room and I want to take off my gloves and go see what she is saying and what event in the world I am missing out on.

Now this is a sickness...not a serious sickness because I have made it to 65 without this issue being a huge issue in my life.  HOWEVER, every couple of years I think about it and wonder.  I think the first time I wondered about it was back when I was 3...my Dad would want me to go to sleep in the car on the way home from somewhere and I wouldn't, except when we turned on our street and I knew that he was going to carry the other girls in because they were asleep...suddenly, I would fall asleep too!

Mom would carry me, lol.
