i feel like the past month has been a dream & now i am back in reality. reality is NOT a bad thing... it is just life. i have literally put life on HOLD for a while to enjoy the season with my family & it was memorable! it really is the simple things in life that brings us joy! i so often get caught up in the hustle & bustle of life (especially around christmas it is 10x worse). i am so gulity of overlooking those simple priceless things. i take so many things for granted. the things that i think are "so important" on a daily basis- in the big picture are not so much. BUT those are the "things" that tend to consume my time. it was wonderful to not have any stress & what a different perspective i have had on things & life in general.
but, it is now time to jump back into the grind of things & get things done. i have to pay bills, get MY LIFE organized, place orders for 2008 product & close the books for the year ... & that ALL requires many, many, many hours. i struggle with this time of year because i am so eager to start on new projects & everything for 2008 but I have to close 2007 off first. it is like a battle going on inside of me & i get a little grouchy.
i got really frustrated today as we have had a month off work (kinda) & i have not done anything that i had needed to do. i wanted to ORGANIZE (or REorganize) so many things (photos, cd's, personal files, computer files, address book, my closet, kids clothes, playroom, grand central station (this is our phone center/desk in our kitchen that is the "catch all" - it makes me crazy). i look around & nothing has been done - if anything it is worse. i have taken more pics to organize, the kids have more toys, grand central station is overflowed, etc. i am frustrated that i have so much i needed to do & now i am running out of time. i feel overwhelmed & that i have wasted time ...
but then i have to remember that time was NOT wasted it was spent with my family making memories that are far more important than having all my files organized on my computer.
but now that we have made "those" memories - I better get my butt in gear & get things done!

Oh Shelby,
there is never enough time to do it all i'm afraid and i'm sure having a business you're responsible for makes it all worse - and better :)
i've enjoyed the blog entries, enjoy your wii. i know 'they' say don't do it, but it can make a good babysitter ;)
I feel your pain girl! There is never enough time and I always have such great aspirations each year. We hope you have a wonderful and successful 2008. We are excited to see your family several times this year.
Reality is over rated. LOL
Happy New Year!
