i’m going crazy. i’ve got a serious case of mom-overload. i know i’m not alone feeling like your kids (no matter if you have one or a ten) are absolutely pushing every button you have on purpose, and you just feel like packing your bags and hitting the road.

today is that day for me. it’s a beautiful sunny day here in wisconsin and i feel like i should be doing something outside. maybe groom the “wishful thinking garden”, or take a walk or maybe even load up the kids and enjoy a brisk day at the park. heck, if nothing else walk around my little town and peruse all of the rummage sales going on.

but what i really want to do is crawl down to the studio and WORK….yes, i have actual orders to be done and packed and shipped. and i still want to do that more than i want to hang out with the kids. does that make me a bad mom? or simply normal? all i know is i need to put the ear plugs in and pretend the world doesn’t exist, if only for a few hours. (or if i’m totally lucky and can be selfish, maybe the rest of the day?)

calgon….
