Blogging Every Day Is Difficult!

Hi There:

So I've realized just how difficult it is to blog everyday when you actually have a life. Ha! I've had the most difficult time trying to figure out what the heck to talk about each night hence the reason why I have been getting these up so late. But the other reason has been that all week long I've been extremely exhausted or haven't felt well so I've been laying down to sleep right after work. And then I don't wake up for hours. So apparently I'm catching up and I am feeling better. But I tried staying up evening yesterday and going to bed around midnight. And let me tell you, I felt absolutely awful this morning. And it also doesn't help that I'm fighting some sort of a cold which I have managed to successfully give to my son. Darn it.

But anyways, what else is going on. I actually have plans for what I'm going to do in the following weeks of August so it won't be quite so random. I'm just hoping that I'll actually be able to pull them off. Generally when I blog I spend anywhere from one to two hours perfecting what I'm going to say or do. But with this last week I haven't been able to be that prepared because of the issues I mentioned above. Ha.

I can't believe how incredibly fast this week went by and further more how fast the last three weeks have gone by. I feel as though I've been living my life in weekends because every time I turn around it's suddenly Friday. Which you would think it would be a good thing, "Oh look its Friday; I have a short day and then I get to have some time to myself that isn't dictated by work." But the problem is that the weekend goes by just as quickly.

My ultimate goal is to make my art my job and to be able to make enough income from it that I don't have to work an 8 to 6 job. But as a result for right now I'm doing twice as much work as I was before. Because every time I come home from work, assuming I'm not so exhausted that I pass out I start working on art or making bracelets or posting items on my zazzle or etsy store or working on my website. All work and no play begins to grate on one's nerves after awhile. I'm constantly trying to figure out ways to make more money, to advertise my stuff, to save money. And in the end I just find it all very tiring. But I keep thinking that the end result will make it worth it.

So I essentially have two goals for August, 1 is the blogging every day, and 2 is working on my book while stil getting my other art commissions finished. I had also been considering auditioning for one of the plays at the Trumbull Theatre but I'm wondering if I'm going to be biting off more than I can chew again considering I'm also taking three classes this semester which starts the last week of August.

One thing is for sure I seem to always find lots of things to do. Ha ha. But I would really like to get to spend more time with some friends. I love spending time with my family and my kids, but there are days when I don't want to be mom or wife I just want to be Allyson.

Well, this was a rambling post so I'm going to call it quits for tonight since it's almost 11:30.

I'll see you tomorrow. Not sure when because I have work and then I'm coming home to work on a yard sale. Yet another attempt to make some cash.
