Fall Semester Blues...Time for Recovery

Boy did I underestimate the amount of time that would go into this school semester! Work has been draining and I am looking forward to the holiday time off at the end of the year. My daughter has turned into a “Diva” overnight and insist on wearing heels while she writes all over the walls in the house. My son is on some pre-teen roller-coaster and has been driving me and some of his teachers crazy. Everything keeps going up but my pay so “stretching a dollar” has taken on a whole new meaning. The last fair we did was so grossly misrepresented that it took everything in me not to strangle the coordinator and I have not been able to spend as much time as I have wanted in my yard and working on my house. And with all that going on, I haven’t had the creative flow that I need to really put my all into my shop and with my blog. Even when I have had the time, I just want to veg out! Yes, I am very aware that I am going through a down-spot, but I feel that forcing myself to do the things I enjoy will eventually pull me out of this sinking hole.

I know that I am not the only one going through this, but the start to my “recovery” has been to write this. I hope that everyone else is finding some kind of joy out of the mess that the world is in right now. Trust me that if everyone will continue to do those things and go those places that they enjoy, they will find that things are not as bad as they seem and as I read a couple of days ago…”If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back” (It’s in a very encouraging e-mail floating around. I will send it to you if you request it!)

Well, I just wanted to let everyone know what was going on and I will be getting back to business shortly. I have some pictures to take and some items to list. Don’t worry they will be here first!

Blessings to All!
