New Year, New Focus, New Take On Life

Happy 2010!

As I sit here reading my first and only post so far on this blog, I cringe when I see the date and the ages of my boys. Well my boys are now 7.5, 5, and 2! What happened? Where did I go?

Well, I have this habit of starting LOTS of grand and exciting things (Sprout Mail, Dandelion Art, The WAHM Spot, LNRN job, organizing craft shows, SEP, and all the blogs!!), and then I get so overwhelmed that I just freeze. So many things are left hanging. Not good. I felt like a multi-tasking mom with ADD. I suffered. My kids suffered. And it was not good.

So in the last year, I've taken a good look at all the many exciting things I've started, reset my focus and simplified. With 3 growing boys, I had to - to keep my sanity and my family's happiness. I dropped my 2 little businesses (reluctant at first, but now thankful I did), finally said, "no, thank you" when asked to organize another craft show, and dropped a handful of blogs so I can focus on my favorites.

Most of my friends think I still do a lot, but I'm happier doing the things I'm doing now. No pressures, and with the exception of my volunteer work as Student Enrichment Program Chair at my son's school, I do not answer to anyone but me and it's up to me if I want to work on them.

So what have I been up to/plan on doing?

1) Student Enrichment Program Chair for my son's school
2) Blogging (Snips and Snails.., The WAHM Spot, and CPK Bliss) on my favorite blogs
3) Going back to art - pastel drawing
4) Running/Aerobics!

That is it! My favorite things to do. Wish I was getting paid to do them, but I have to remind myself that I can't focus on that. Hoping that just by doing what I love, the money will follow! LOL! We'll see. :)

In the mean time, I'm just happy to be back blogging again! Here's to more adventures to come!
