An Interesting Learning Curve

Do you remember this post?  Well, I think I'm slowly beginning to figure things out, I think I'm finding the way to make things work.  I think perhaps for a while, I was a little too comfortable hiding behind excuses.

I just came off of a three week solo parenting block.  Although we missed our guy, we did well.  The kids were happy, I was happy, we found a groove and we went with it.

One thing I noticed is that when my husband is away, I sure can get a lot of sewing and shop work done.  Perhaps it's because I am now practically getting a full nights sleep (baby J is only getting up once a night most nights), perhaps it's because I've made the commitment to take my shop to where I want it to go, I don't know.  All I know is that whatever it is,

it's working

I phoned my mum the other day to tell her that if I, or anyone else says that I can't do it, to remind them of the past three weeks, because these three weeks are proof that yes, I can do this!

Now, will it always go this smoothly, will I always have this much energy, will I always be this full of zest....probably not, it's not being negative, it's just reality.

Sometimes I'll have to go searching for that little burst of energy, sometimes I will have to give it a little more effort, sometimes I'll need inspiration to get going again, what I do know is that the desire is there.  I will probably sew/work less when my husband is home than when he's away, but that's ok.  I just have to make sure I keep it somewhat consistent, right?

I have goals I want to meet, I have dreams I want to come true, and because of that, I will do my best to make them a reality!

the learning curve is an interesting one, but a fun one.

I hope you're enjoying a fabulous week. We are so thrilled to see the sun shining again after a few grey/gloomy days!

figuring it out, it's fun isn't it? almost a relief at times....

Cheers,
