PERSONAL UPDATE: PLANS FOR JANUARY
My son started at a new school last August and it's a been a long commute and a big adjustment for both of us. We drive about an hour each way (on good traffic days) everyday. He has been on Winter break which has given us both time to decompress and enjoy the holidays but tomorrow we are back on the road and back to school.
Because its such a long drive it does not make sense for me to drive home and then drive back down to get him, so I have been spending my time in Pittsburgh visiting family, running errands and helping when I can. I asked my mom if I could create a temporary work space at her house and she was agreeable, but there have been many challenges between September and now that I was not anticipating and the initial plan to create this space did not happen.
Then there was illness and hospitalization in December but my mom is back home and feeling better, thank goodness.
Then it was Christmas and Winter break.
I realize now that I've had some time to reflect that we actually got a lot accomplished, but because I didn't get to accomplish that craft space goal I felt very deflated and frustrated, and if I'm being honest, I've felt this way for some time. That saying about moving the goal post comes to mind...
My family is always my priority and I know the sacrifices are worth it, but I also know I have to find a way to carve in some time for myself, for my sanity and also find a way to get back to work.
Now that it's a New Year one of my goals is to get back to the plan of creating this temporary work space. While it's not realistic to work from her home everyday under the current circumstances, my goal is to start with one day each week dedicated to this project. I plan on this day being Tuesdays because that's also Stampin' Up!'s "update" days for demonstrators.
I am going to spend January trying to get the space set up and hopefully filming by February. I will keep you posted!
Lots more updates coming tomorrow! I absolutely love launch days!
Happy crafting!
