So, I've been going through an interesting time lately -- adding thing upon thing to my already very full docket. Not only am I taking care of the boys every day - driving them to and from school and to their activities, feeding them, bathing them, diapering them (well, one of them), reading stories to them and hopefully not yelling at them (too much) - I have started taking Interior Design classes at OTIS and now I've started selling jewelry with Stella & Dot.
I have a TON of homework for my class and I am so excited about my new jewelry business, I'm spending loads of time on that, too! I am staying up very late every night and actually enjoying it.
I do have my concerns - as always: am I being an attentive enough mother? (probably not.) Am I being a good friend/daughter/granddaughter/sister-in-law/step-sister? (I try? But time is so minimal...) Am I spending quality time with my boys? (I do try, but it's so hard to get things done and have quality time, too.) Am I keeping their minds working? (ummmm...am I?) Am I being a good wife? (I haven't cooked dinner in ages so maybe not.) Am I keeping the house clean? (No, Mirza does that. Straightened, yes. Organized, for sure. That's my forté!) Am I keeping the house stocked with all the things everyone needs? (yes.) And then there's my own selfish concerns: have I exercised? (not in ages.) when will I be able to get my hair cut and colored? when can I get my nails done and my eyebrows waxed? Can I buy anything cute to wear so I'm not in sweats all the time? Shallow? Maybe. But that's the facts, Jack.
Anyway, this constant series of questions is annoying, yes, but I may be able to sort through some of it here. I find I am always in the midst of trying to figure something or other out for the kids. Sometimes I'm trying to figure out something for or about myself. I am definitely a work in progress. Or maybe I'll just be on the search for a really cute purse. Interesting? Probably not. But that's my life for now. I've got to try to enjoy...
