What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?
It never fails. I can plan to get up in the morning to do even the simplest of things. Sit down and spend a moment with God. Every time my eyes pop open in time… I close them again. Every. Single. Time. There were a few days over the course of the last month where I guzzled caffeine and stayed up for a full 36 hours.
That is not a good idea, in the middle of the school week, with four kids. Not a good idea at all. While I need more sleep and could use a lot more Jesus, I do everything to avoid obtaining those two things.
For example, last night, knowing full well it was my go-to straight to bed after getting home night. I started setting up the new Shopify store to begin selling my crafts on. Instead of leaving it at that, I decided to incorporate some drop ship and print-on-demand items. Then I showered and went to bed. At 2 am, instead of 11 pm, like I had planned…
Today is supposed to be a chill day. I’ll take the kids to a dentist appointment, then take them all back to school and go home to craft before taking them to Awana day. And it’s turned into a scene: all the kids are at the dentist’s office, fighting over who gets to hold the baby that I didn’t want out of her car seat in the first place.
And I’m probably only going to be home for a couple hours before the kids need picked up from school. I’m tempted to just go home and lay in bed until I absolutely have to leave the house again.
I do need to get some writing done and begin crafting some leatherwork stuff. The online store is up and open with a few drop-ship items. I’ve still got some webpage design things to work out, but it’s live.
We had a really neat view of the northern lights last night. I put my best photo up on the picfair store. As well as some of my other favorite work. Which reminds me, there are more photos to add to the gallery, they’ll be nice to look at. I’ll get to those sometime this week.
I’m typing this up during the actual dentist visit. Mom needs some coffee and to put gas in the car
