Inspiration Monday - More than I can chew

Hello friends!  Told you I'd be back for Inspiration Monday this week!  Today we have Katie Holmes (poor girl deserves a little love right now wouldn't you say?) in a lovely chambray dress.  I don't have anything like that in my closet, but that didn't stop me!


I pulled out my dress from Mr. Monkey and added my denim blazer and I was good to go. Fortunately it's no longer boiling hot outside so the blazer doesn't feel like too much either!


We had a really nice weekend, the weather was great and we did some fun things.  Now the week looms ahead of me and I fear I bit off more than I can chew this week.  I'm so excited for my jewelry party, but the Pants Monkey was not helping me much last night when he said "You know, I'm surprised you booked a party so close to our little vacation."  Um, thanks babe!  I was not panicking before, but I am now!  While we aren't gone the entire week, I'm suddenly thinking of all these things that need to happen before we go.  And I'll be spending some time this week getting ready for the party on Thursday so it won't leave me much time to prepare for vacation.  Yeah, I did not plan this one very well.  Oh well, there are 24 useful hours in every day and I will make the most of all of them!!


I think I'll spend today making some lists, while lists may freak other people out because it highlights everything that needs to be done and can seem daunting, lists help me relax and figure things out!  How do you manage your time when you suddenly have a lot piled on your plate?

As always, please head over to the two birds blog to check out the other Inspiration Monday looks (and maybe give Miss Nora some labor dust so she has that baby boy already!)
