The Puzzle that Taunts me

I am a type A personality... You can tell by the way I do puzzles.
I start off great. All relaxed and excited about the prospect of having a 'project' to work on day in and day out...to leave it and come back to it. But then it takes over my life and I can think of nothing else until it is complete.
It's sad really.

You see I've been saving this puzzle FOREVER for the winter weather so I could justify sitting for an hour at a time in my dining room.

The problem is that I just can't leave things incomplete....it drives me BONKERS!!!

So...I broke the puzzle down into stages just so I could take it slow, take time to feed my children, and not hurt my eyeballs.

So....day one I finished the edge...and then I just had to walk away...



Then....slowly I would complete other parts. Like the house, then the barn, then the trees ect. It was soooooo hard to walk away. I just HAD TO FIND THAT NEXT PIECE!!
I left it in the dining room which helped. That way every time I walked by it would TAUNT ME WITH IT'S INCOMPLETENESS....I think I even started dreaming about Peyton eating one of the pieces so I would go crazy looking for it.


And here it is.....ahhhhhhh what satisfaction.(took me a week I think...so much for a winter long project) What accomplishment. I got the same feeling after tackling the dust in my living room. Now...I can rest and move on to other things.

But now what do I do with this puzzle? Stare at it when I walk by and breathe a sigh of relief? no because now there is something else in my house I will need to dust.
