On a roll....

Okay, so maybe I should have done it a long time ago. Having my sewing things upstairs has made a world of difference already. I am almost done with another dress for myself and the thoughts just keep going and going. I actually feel like staying up for a little bit and working on things instead of falling right in bed and sleeping forever! This has to be a good sign! And the writing. I can't believe that I have managed to write three days in a row. Not about anything important but I definitely think this is a good thing. As I get things rearranged it seems that I'm getting more creative and a little more in sync with life in general.

Right direction, maybe, but definitely a fun turn....

I have been working so super hard at trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I've had a lot of moments lately that have been kind of depressing, in fact I've questioned my life entirely. Well I should phrase that differently. I have questioned my part in my life, not the people around me. I have been truly blessed to have such a wonderful family, hubby, little girls, parents, best friends. On the other hand I keep questioning what my problem is that I never finish what I start. I had a professor once tell me that my problem wasn't being good at something, I was good at too many things (sorry to toot my own horn), the problem was caring enough to actually go through with it. It seems like the only thing that I have truly been good about is my family. And I know it shows. So why don't I do more with the rest of my life? Well I guess that is what I am really going to try to do this year. I didn't make any New Year's resolutions because I have been thinking so hard about everything. I think that this year I am going to try to just stick my neck out there and actually finish something or get some great things started and stick with them! Who knows where I can go from here.

Ok, so I do love to write, but who has the time?

I love my girls more than anything in this world, well my hubby ranks right up there too! But life just gets a little bit crazy and there is nothing I can do about it!

My youngest got pink eye last week, and my oldest and myself got it this week. Talk about nasty. Germs, GERMS, GERMS EVERYWHERE! So I have been busy cleaning like crazy, and getting called a germophob too! And then the rash started, little M had it every where. So what was the cause, well we thought it might be the fabric softener (reminder to get those wool dryer balls!) so I rewashed all of their clothes! Still had it, but the doc had us discontinue the antibiotic drops just in case, and guess what! It of course was the antibiotics. And guess what, K and I had the same reaction the next day! This is how life has felt for the last several months. Every time I think we are getting over the hump another bigger hill shows up. I still love my life and how things are going, believe me I know life isn't easy!

So I am looking forward to taking some time to write more and let you know what I've been working on lately. Besides all the sewing that I have been doing (well weeks ago) I have a table I am converting to an activity table for the girls. I was told that they are getting one for Christmas so this one will have to go in their room. That's fine by me, they need quiet activities to do in their room so this might be perfect!

Well it's breakfast time so I better get that cereal started! I promise not to be such a stranger!
