Today I realized that I have been making hair accessories for over a year now. I can't believe how fast it all went. With that said, I have been so busy lately I feel like my business is getting neglected. Which makes me a little sad because it relaxes me and I love to do it. I feel like I have so many new ideas for the business, but never get to bring them to fruition because other more important things pull my attention away. You know what I mean, cleaning the house, playing with the kids, feeding the family, grocery shopping, etc!! The list really could go on forever.
For me lately it has been even harder. I don't know if many of my fans are aware that I will be moving my family in a few weeks. My husband excepted a job in Virginia so we are packing up and heading down there soon. Since he had to start his job May 2nd, my daughter and I were left back in NY to get thing settled with the house (FYI it is taking forever). So I have been a single parent for the past month and will be for another month. I love my daughter!! She really is an amazing kid, she loves to play by herself and watch Little Einsteins. Which really helps me get some mommy duty's done. At the end of the day, I feel like not much was accomplished. I work on orders when my daughter is sleeping or napping. I still feel like I used to get more done, then I do now. I just don't get that extra time I used to have to work for a few hours in the afternoon. Which bums be out!
To try and get some kind of balance in our schedule I had to get some help. I have always let Addison since she could walk, help out around the house. She is really an amazing little helper. Now that she is older and understand more, I have been teaching her to help out some more. For almost turning 3 she loves to get in there help mommy pick up toys, take out the recycling, unload the dishwasher (plastics only ;-), haha), dust, she even likes to sweep the floor (which I always have to re do, but she is still trying), her favorite daily task is putting mommy's packages in the mail box and getting new mail. This way I get some things done around the house, spend time my daughter and she is learning to be responsible
Hopefully soon I will find the balance I used to have. I really give those single parents a lot of credit!! Especially my mom who was a single parent. I don't know how she did it all, but at the end of the day I never went with out anything, was a happy and loved kid (Thanks Mom!!). If I can just get a smidge of that I will be happy. I feel like I have a little more a clear head now. Thank you for listening to my rambling :)
