Have you ever seen those memes on facebook. Mom’s “its time for bed” must do XYZ & Dad it’s time for bed ZZZZzzzzzZZZZ??
I just feel like a running to-do list all the freaking time.
All I want to do is relax and shut my brain off for 45 minutes to watch Netflix and drink an uninterrupted cup of HOT coffee. This actually gives me anxiety. Because I do not have the time for a break. I have limited kid-free time to accomplish literally the impossible. Bathe & brush Charlie because that winter coat is shedding and it is a freaking endless pile of fur everywhere. There is a bubbles all over the floor and a pan/ counter top 1/4 filled with pepper. There is a mountain of laundry. Not to mention my school responsibilities.
I am taking the 45 minutes– because I need it.
How do you justify me-time when the to-do list is ever-growing?
I believe in bucket-filling (a little twist on the bucket list). I want a platform to share my artform(s) that already fill my bucket. I have the degree(s). I survived the young child rearing years. I've landed the leadership dream job. It's time to fill my bucket. Focus on what lights my fire. Rebranding this blog (yet again) to meet me where I am at in this journey called life. I will share my creative writing. I will share my photography. I will share my thoughts on this crazy journey we call life. I like to keep it real. I refuse to live up to "the image". I don't use filters. What you see (read) is what you get. I hope you enjoy the read and I will try to balance what I share in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I keep this blog for me. You (my imagined audience) are an awesome bonus!
