Walk away for a sec and look what happens!

It seems it's been a while since my last blog! Yipes! That was totally unplanned seriously...Lots of changes in my house and I still haven't gotten into the swing of things. I'm a creature of habit and well, change is really hard for me to accept and adapt to. Let me explain...

So, I bet you're wondering what I've been up to...Well, simply...My kids are both in daycare. No surprise there, I've blogged about it in one of my last posts! But you have to remember, this would mean for the first time in 2 years I have been ALONE for more than an hour at a time! It's crazy how I never realized the simplest, albeit selfish, things in life once again: to watch my own tv shows again, to drink coffee at my own slow pace, to hear nothing but SILENCE. It's the little things really and I relish it every morning after I drop my kids off at daycare. It's been a vacation of sorts believe it or not! I have finally found portions of ME that I'd feel I disconnected with years ago...You bet, I'm STILL relishing it! LOL!

Secondly, I revisited what it was like to just BE a mom and wife again. No work, no deadlines, no stress...I enjoyed the heck outta that! I'm more a relaxed person than ever before in terms with work. I am working at my own pace again and not having to keep pushing stuff out, working and burning the midnight oil making sure it's all done by the deadline. I hated that only because it caused so much stress on my kids and my family as a whole...I don't want to be there again, seriously which is why I've implemented and am STILL fine tuning a new work schedule. It includes working Monday to Friday, THAT'S IT. No more weekends for me which includes checking the forums! I think I may have to change that rule because of this next paragraph...

Third, having a new 'home' at The Digichick has taken more time for me to adapt than I had anticipated..It's such a complex forum! LOL! So much going on, my head keeps spinning but I'll get the hang of it soon enough. I have to literally kick myself to check the forums and subforums..It's alot to take in and I hate that I'm missing out on things. I need a better system with that, I could swear it wasn't this complicated before ugh..

Fourth, no lies here..Twitter...I'm addicted to the conversation and the networking of such fantastic and talented people. It's a constant conversation, I can't help but be sucked in LOL...I really should turn my phone off when I'm working though LOL! 

Now before anything, I have been working and releasing things..Just really at a much slower pace. I haven't remembered to update with previews here! Ack, I'm such a flake! LOL! Please bear with me, I'm really trying here. So I hope this kinda explains where I've been and what I've been up to. 2009 has been an interesting year in a way. So many highs and lows, successes and failures. It's alot to handle sigh..I'm hoping 2010 is the year that things really change for the better again. It's really been a very tough year for me personally...I hope you'll be there to see 2010 along with me..

Until my next post, stay safe and have a great day/nite,

A.

It's so hard to make major changes. I find myself either working too hard or relaxing too much. There is rarely a happy medium. UGH!
