Seriously.. this is it......
When I created this blog many many moons ago, I figured, I do plenty of crafty things around the house, I'm always venturing into something new, I can do it... I CAN DO IT... well, as you can see that isn’t quite true. Yes I do have and had many projects going on in the house but most of the time I do things so quickly I forget to take pictures. Before, in between, how I did it... Nothing!
As my list grows and grows of things to do my children seem to get in the way, that is two teenagers, a 21 year old, my husband and four dogs... Who has time for fun projects?? I remember back to high school (yes I can remember back that far) when my BFF and I couldn't wait to get out of school. How wonderful it will be when we are on our own, no curfew, no parents asking a million and one questions, when we find our prince charming(s) who will take care of us for the rest of our lives. Why do we even read these fairy tales to our kids.. That is not life.
First of all, I have conditioned my boys that they work the woman takes care of the house. (Crazy right, well that’s how I thought life was and should be, their one day wife will love me right?) So of course I take care of almost everything in the house, and I am sooo lucky to work from home.. What a joke! Lucky to work from home yes, but what about my fairy tale of being taken care of? Working from home that equates to begin work at 7 AM, taking my lunch break to do laundry and figure out what’s for dinner. I spend my entire day in the basement with no windows, until 3:30 ish when I proceed to do more laundry and make dinner. After dinner I go back down to the dungeon and check work again, even though I begin before everyone and get off before them they are still working and most days the world of work comes to an end right before my day ends. So now I have time to do crafty things right? Wrong! Now I get to go outside and pull weeds (love it), play with the dogs and live a little bit of life.
I’m sure all of you working mom’s out there have the same issues but I see you in bloggerland.. Doing fabulous stuff. Organization skills, right? I know I watch those blogs all the time.
So I figure when I do my projects I will show all of you how they went but until then I’m going to blog about life. And how this life doesn’t quite match up to my fairy tale that life was supposed to be…. Can I go back? Just for a little bit? Hmmmm
Until next time....
