Overload

I feel so overwhelmed - my headaches are not going away, my cold is lingering and I have so much to do.
Thinking about Christmas present for 5 grand children and their parents is not so easy, because 2 of the grand children have already everything. What do you give a child, that has everything? I have no clue. The next 2 grand children are only 8 month and 1 1/2 month old - what one would give them, when the sisters have everything? And NR. 5 will be born less then two weeks before Christmas. Not talking about the parents of these precious Grand babies. Why I have to do all this: thinking about and getting the gifts? No help from husband, that's for sure. - Then I have to finish 2 baby blankets by the 15. of December, which is also my 60. birthday, because grand baby NR. 5 is due December 17. In between is Thanksgiving - but that probably will take place in my son's house. Thank you, Sascha and Lylia. And on the side, I have to prep the catalogues and coupons for our business, getting them ready for mail. All that on top of the usual stuff, payroll for Topsy's, paying the bills for Topsy's and, and, and not to talk about the personal bill paying and stuff. At least 3 times a week, Husband wants me to look something up on the computer: can you look at www. ....
and then he gets frustrated, when I can not find, what he wants to know. -  As for myself, I want to be able to read a book or start some knitting for my own, but I can not find the time. - And then he comes home: What we having for dinner? It's drives me nuts. In case, you do not know, I have a little daycare here in my house and talking care of 3 kids from 7,30 am to 5.30 pm every day. There is no time for cooking. Sometimes, when all 3 are sleeping at the same time, maybe reading or knitting a little, but I can not go upstairs in the kitchen and start cooking. Because we/he want to eat all fresh (made from fresh ingredients, and not canned or frozen), we have to go shopping, before we cook. Sometimes, he brings groceries on the way home from work. But then it will get late, before we can eat, which is preferable between 6 and 7 pm. All this is a never ending story.
 But we go out for dinner today for sure, it is out 37. anniversary, but till now, we have no idea, where we will go.
Actually, I feel better now, that I spilled all my guts. Isn't that something? - But tomorrow, that will be an other story: "same old, same old".
