where have i been?well...the last three weeks have been very busy here....the baby is here now...our beautiful little girl....and all is well with her...
a baby, alone, is a great event that brings alot of transition to a family...but we have also had to deal with other transitions as well...good things...but transitions...
school has started, not only school, but a new school for the boy, and all of the anxiety that goes with that...so far so good...
There is a new job for the husband...which is a good thing...but, again, it is new, and has a new routine, and involves things he is new to...and the rest of the family as well...we are all adjusting...but, it is a good thing for all of us...just new and difficult at first because they are adjustments to routines, and thought processes and stress levels...
as a result, my art has been put on the back burner...again...which is natural...because at the end of the day, which there never really is an "end of the day" when you have and infant....but even-so...at the end of the day...there isn't much left...granted, this is only the third week....more like week 2.5 thus far...and considering that most people have 6 weeks of maternity leave from their jobs...or that alot of women have people come and stay with them for a short time after giving birth, and i have had neither...i think I am doing pretty darn great...i had had to realize my limitations, physically....despite the fact that i wanted to just get up and go as soon as baby arrived...that wasn't possible...and even now, I am still not as physically up to snuff as i would like to be...then there was the whole post partum stuff....i am glad that is over....and if it isn't...I'm declaring it over whether it is ready to be or not...i have crap to do....
in the last week, though, i have managed to sign up for two shows...again, reminding myself of my limitations...and not signing up for shows that last two days or are far away or that i can't possibly take my children with me...just in case...this kind of narrows things down...but it makes it easier as well BECAUSE it narrows things down...
i will list those shows later, when they get closer...
What am i making? I'm working on what "my thing" is....seems like everyone has "a thing" that they are known for....i can't say that i do...and i find it frustrating that i don't have something that i feel comfortable doing over and over again...i don't have a "brand" or an image that people recognize....I'm working on it though...and sort of hoping for divine inspiration...
but, just yesterday i was able to sit down and get a little caught up...on paperwork, on research...on ideas...
hopefully today, i will get caught up on other things as well....
