frustrated

I know my UFO list is shrinking... and the done list is growing but right now it still feels like I'm drowning in UFO's ... its frustrating at best because there really is alot I want to get done and new things I want to start but at the same time I know I need to finish some of these I have waiting to finish. Part of it is this batting issue...seems I always am waiting for a "good sale" but then when it does roll around the money isn't there to really buy. And I have a few quilts that are just too big for me to pin and quilt on my little machine. And then part of me is like...well heck what I would spend to get these several quilts done I could buy a little gracie frame and just do them myself but then I think where would I put this frame? and all that and its like spinning my wheels making me crazy. And in the end the projects still are sitting here unfinished and not useful because they are just quilt tops. I also have a few projects that I just don't really want to do for a variety of reasons. This crochet afghan is one of them... one its boring pattern wise and color wise but two the person I'm doing it for isn't someone I really like personality wise. She's said some really uncalled for comments about my kids and others and its not someone I want to be around but she works with my mom so I am trying to do this in a way for my mom. So I press on with it. Then there are other projects that are at a point where I can't just take them with me so that makes it hard to make progress on them because we are on the go so much right now. I had hoped to get more done this past week but I was sick. So again its just things at a stand still all around and I'm frustrated and loosing motivation. Anyone else feel like this? What do you do to get your motivation back? When this afghan is done... I keep thinking I will have a project done and over 24 skeins of yarn out of here which will be wonderful. And maybe I will just use a 40% off coupon at Joann's and get some batting to get some of these smaller quilts done up. I think part of it too is that I just feel like the clutter is closing in on me...and I need to keep going on the house cleaning out. Its hard to be creative when you are being swallowed up by kids toys and clothes. I'll keep you updated on things... but if you have any tips/ideas let me know!
