The Boat
I am waiting for my older sister to give birth to her third baby, a boy, any day now. Did you hear me universe? ANY DAY ... NOW! She is a week and a half overdue and that is exhausting for her. Plus she has a head cold. However, I too find myself anxious for her to pop, as it were. Dearly Beloved and I will become host parents to her other two kids as soon as the big event begins and well, I am tired of being on hold. Me, me, me.
In other news...
There really isn't any. We are gearing up to find a new babysitter. Our current one is leaving at the end of next week. We only need someone for about 8 hours a week so that I can keep my business on life support at a minimum. It is such a struggle to believe that the business is worth continuing with. It comes in spits and spats and everyone loves the idea of it. But when it comes to actually selling stuff, it is a challenge to keep it up. I think the big issue is self-promotion. I need to advertise, connect and stay current.
But I also need to eat, sleep, shower and tend to these wee people who seem to follow me everywhere! So I guess that is why I need a sitter even though technically I am a stay-at-home-mama. I don't know why I let myself feel so guilty about it. I am not using the time to get my nails done or shop for shoes. The time is spent working. (Well- some of it is used for reading mommy blogs and "researching" craft sites...)
The baby is sick. She has a little fever and a runny nose and really doesn't want to do anything. It is so sad when a baby has the sniffles. You can't really do anything but give them tylenol for the fever and discomfort and then nurse, nurse, cuddle, nurse, nurse, cuddle. It is a good time though to fall in love with your baby all over again.
This blog may very well falter. I am putting that out there now so that the universe is aware of my minimal expectations. Wow. I have mentioned the universe twice now. It almost sound like I am someone who has faith. Anyway- I don't know what to write here and how much of my life to divulge. It will be a sort of public learning curve.
So my little boat of a blog is in the harbor but I am waiting to call it launched until I have some more posts under my belt. Metaphors- mix 'em if you got 'em.
