Working Graphics

 Work is a game of hurry up and wait. I'm gogogo advertising and influencing. Then I'm sit and wait for people to react/comment. It's so much fun. Not really. But it is what it is. I'm doing pretty well so far. Could get better. It's all a learning experience. Speaking of learning. Today was my son's first day of virtual school. His computer crashed 5 minutes in. I got him one from the school but part of the screen is broken. So yeah, that's going well. We'll get it figured out eventually. Speaking of figured out. I was able to get our finances squared away. Feeling really good about the future. 

Sometimes I find myself easily distracted. Listening to music and I stop mid whatever and just start dancing. I know I'm weird, but it's ok cuz I embrace it! I can already tell my kids inherited me weirdness. They're so cute though.

I love my kids. They drive me nuts all the time, but I still love them. Watching them grow up is the greatest thing ever. I'm so glad I get to be part of my kids lives and experiences. I'm very happy tonight. Not sure why, just am. Also getting a little tired. Gonna call it a night. GoodNight!

Late Nights

"I hate sleeping. It's hard and uncomfortable. I take meds that knock me out but then I have horrible dreams. I never wake up feeling rested. Sometimes I'd rather just stay up all night. Like a vampire."

That's a leftover draft I started a few nights ago. I obviously did not stay up late that night. It's true though. I hate bedtime. There's always so much for me to do, sleep just causes a disturbance. But it's healthy and necessary. So I sleep.

Life has been busy lately. Working 3 jobs while caring for my kids and keeping the house in order. It's like 5 full time jobs! But I'm loving it. I've been making so many pour paintings, it's so so so much fun! I wish I could do it all the time but it takes a lot of paint and space on my small art area.

Tonight has been slow in the business area. That's ok though, it's expected. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I'm just gonna relax tonight and recharge. Goodnight.

Work Work Work

Work. That's what I've been up to lately. I went from one side gig to three fulltime side gigs! Yep. I'm a busy woman now. I sell ItWorks and I absolutely love it! I'm sampling the products and they're really great! I also sell cute and custom clothing. I can get you pretty much any image on your cute soft shirt! We can't forget about my painting gig! I've been working with new style such as pour painting and blending with a palette knife. It's been really fun experimenting. Soon I'm gonna decorate some wine bottles! I still manage to take care of my kids, but I am definitely tired by the evening. I'm just glad I can run two of my businesses from my phone. It allows me to work during my son's baseball practice or daughters gymnastics classes. I'm gonna include my links at the bottom for anyone who wants to check them out!

I've been busy but happy. Very happy. My kids are a handful at times but I can handle it. When they're being good it's such a wonderful time together. I've started a routine of movie night before bed. We turn off the light and get snuggled under blankets with our pillows and stuffed toys. It's very relaxing and allows me to do work on my phone off in the corner. Nights always go easier when we have that wind down time.  Then after the kids are in bed I get to have my own wind down time. I follow up on work, maybe work on some art, or scroll through facebook for a few million hours. Just kidding, only like 2 hours really hahaha. I always think it's weird to write out the sound of laughing. Even lol just doesn't seem right when writing. Sure a text message it's acceptable but in a blog? or a letter? it just seems weird to me. hahaha. yep, still weird.

I'm about to get my late night butt to bed. Just wanted to hop on and say hello! I'm still here! Have a splendid Goodnight!

Friday Nights

 Friday nights are the worst.Why? I honestly have no idea why, but they are the worst. Probably has something to do with how my mind loves to play tricks on me. It's always on a Friday. 

What does my mind do? It likes to make me think of doing horrible things. I'm better now, so I don't do them. But I hate thinking about it anyways. Ruining a perfectly good evening. The voices like to creep in. Talking their shit to me. I know I'm making myself sound so psychotic. I'm not that bad actually, not anymore. I'm handling myself much better now. Tonight is proof of that. I'm choosing to blog out my feelings instead of acting on them. So, no worries. I'll be ok.

I still hate friday nights. The things I think about. It's never towards another person. It's always self inflicted. Why? I don't know that either. I know I should love myself, but I don't. It's just how I feel. I'm trying to get better at it. I see a psychologist every week. She's easy to talk to and very helpful. I'm working on myself.

I paint so much now. I'm not necessarily any good but I'm definitely trying. I love doing skies with silhouettes and inspirational quotes. We could all use some inspiration sometimes.

I felt inspired to start working with ItWorks this past week and I honestly have no idea what I am doing. I'm trying to do it right without being that obnoxious mlm person. It's not an easy gig. We'll see how it goes. I'm really hoping my paintings start getting noticed. I'm researching and learning new techniques. It's been fun. I'm going to try paint pouring and bottle coloring soon. Definitely excited about that.

Tonight might be a little bit better now that I've blogged out all my thoughts. I hope you enjoyed reading a little bit of my crazy mind. I'm just me trying to make it in this world just like you. Goodnight.

Opportunities

Today I started a new opportunity, make that 2! I now am a consultant for ItWorks! & HempWorx!
I'll add my links in the post incase you wanna check out my products!
I'm really excited to start this new (busy) journey! 

Today has sure been busy. Between painting and working on my 2 new businesses, I've barely had time to relax! Thankfully, I enjoy being busy. It keeps my mind away from things. I'm so excited today! It's been a really good day and I am so grateful. Soon I will be starting my exercise routines and I'm so nervous! I know it's gonna be good for me though!

My babies have been fairly good lately. The little one is definitely testing the waters. She's been super cranky and clingy. I know she's gonna be a handful. My son has been really good, but just give him a tablet and he's good for hours!

I can't wait to see what the future has for us. I know it's gonna be good!

Church

Today I attended church online. Snuggled in my bed with my baby and my pup. We sang, prayed, and listened to the gospel. It was a beautiful way to start my morning. God is so so good. He loves us unconditionally. He's always there or us. In the highs and the lows, he is there. Isn't that such a beautiful thing? God loves YOU!

Today I'm going to focus on doing things that God would be proud of me for. I'm going to make my life all about him. His amazing love. I will praise him in everything I do. I'm going to love my neighbors and I'm going to sing his praise. God is good.

I pray you that are reading this today. I pray you know God's unconditional love for you. I pray you see him in everything you do. I don't know you but I still will be praying for you!

God is good and his love is never ending!
