Dear Life, You’re kind of busy…

And I’m not sure if I like it.

I’ve been running around like so many chickens with… well, to avoid the gory metaphor, let’s rephrase it. I’ve been running around like a whole flock of chickens who’ve just discovered that there’s a fox in the hen house.

See? Less gore. More PC. A bit more hilarious when you start imagining me running around screaming frantically. I promise, it’s funny.

I’ve been working incredibly hard on putting together a website for copywriting / ghostwriting, and it is now live over here at TLC Writing Solutions. Now, it’s a matter of drumming up some clients. Want me to work for you? Head on over there and have a look-see.

The cockpit. In clearly... undeveloped fashion.

In addition to starting my own writing biz, we’ve also been incredibly busy with building up the race car. It’s still in pieces and it seems like once we hit one stumbling block with it, we hit more. Which is both frustrating and relieving.

Relieving because when I think about it, a few delays before my husband goes racing around a dirt track with six or seven other drivers is okay.

Frustrating because I know how much he wants it and I want it just as badly for him. It just doesn’t seem as though it should be fair to have to deal with so many setbacks and difficulties when everyone else’s car is being worked on right away and everything is good to go.

I think it’s probably just the usual feeling of frustration when it comes to being so close to something you want, yet still so far away.

And as if this weren’t all enough, we’re signing A-Girl up for homeschooling via K12. I’m equal parts excited and wary. I’m excited because, well, for the basic subjects, we don’t have to worry about curriculum and getting books and other things. Wary because it’s an extension of public school, which is kind of what I was hoping to avoid in the first place. But we’ll see. MarvMan is adamant about having a sort of curriculum that will ensure A-Girl isn’t missing out on anything that her peers are learning.

So… a compromise it is.

I’m just hoping that life slows down a little bit sometime soon. I feel like we’ve been on the go so much lately – even if we’re staying at the house – that I haven’t had time to even breathe! Though, I have to admit, a lot of the busy-ness is me taking on a lot of things at once. More than enough, really.

What? Too much on my plate?

Never.

I just… may need a nap or something sometime soon…
