I would like to distribute this Halloween WordPress theme, but that would be Yet Another Project to complete before Baby #2 arrives at Christmas.  Actually, I would want to complete this project by October 1st so folks could download the theme in time for Halloween.

I did a quick and dirty job on the theme.  It’s not even close to being clean enough for public consumption.  First, I would have to read all the WordPress documentation, and then I would have to clean everything up.  It wouldn’t be a quick project.

But I think I would really enjoy it.  But I also feel like I abandon projects all the time and leave them half-finished.  I haven’t finished my jammie pants.  I haven’t finished Donna’s logo.  I haven’t finished Mary’s webpage.  The house is really due for a cleaning.  And my poor book… it’s like the prize-winning bastard stepchild of all almost-written books ever.  I’ve been writing that poor thing for years!  And what am I up to?  Chapter 3.

I want to rewrite a part of Ch 1 that I feel is very harsh and jolting.  Hmmm…. where shall I find time for writing between sewing, creating, cleaning, and being with my family?

See the problem.

But that’s life, isn’t it?  It flows and moves like the wind — sometimes a gentle breeze, sometimes a torrential hurricane, but always moving and changing and carrying you along.  There’s no sense in fighting the very nature of life.  Things will get finished when they get finished.  And some things won’t get finished.

And that’s why I don’t want to die anytime soon.  I have so many things I’m enjoying and I want to see the finished products.

Heh heh, so it seems I have Yet Another Project.  How hard could it be to create an elegant and clean WordPress theme anyway?
