Wow it’s been a long week with in-service at my school coming to a close. So many new teachers because our school grew so much this year. I feel like I’m on overload with all the information they shared with us. It’s gonna be a great year! I feel like this year has been blessed.
Well the bathroom remodel is on its way to the finish line. Tile is in and grouted. Primer is on the wall and paint color is next. Greg will be installing the lights, toilet and trim this weekend. I’ll move everything in starting on Sunday with hopes of finishing up by Tuesday. I don’t want to hoax it but hopefully Thursday will be reveal day.
This summer has been so full I don’t really remember getting any down time. I closed my studio, started Blue Happy Living and the BHL blog, went on a couple of day trips, traveled to San Fransisco and Amarillo, remodeled my master bathroom and bedroom, had a successful art camp and fundraising auction, and readied my room for school all while I nursed my broken foot. WOW. I’m so tired but all of this makes me feel so alive.
Having a lot going on in your life can be a challenge and we all handle it in different ways. You can get on overload and just drop out of reality or you can use that feeling to fuel you. I use it to fuel me. I know I talk a lot about knowing your limits and staying focused on time and project management but sometimes you have to overload your plate. It’s a fact of life, sometimes life just plays out that way.
I have prepared and over prepared for school this year. My room is all ready with the first project sitting out on my work station. I have planned out all my projects and ordered supplies. I’ve made sure I used my calendar to plan my weeks so that nothing is forgotten and nothing is a surprise. My hopes are I will have a great year with time for my family and friends. I hope that I can manage my days so I work and play with little to no stress. Yes I know its high hopes but I dream big when I dream.
So if I think about the week ahead I’m thinking big thoughts about my plans for my family and Blue Happy Living. There is so much coming and I can’t wait to share it with you. My foot is healing well and there is nothing in my way but pure excitement.
This week I had a negative Nelly make a remark on my Facebook for Blue Happy. At first I got really upset, but Heather stepped in and said Mom not everyone will like what you do or have to say. You can’t please all and you shouldn’t work to do that. Just be who you are and continue to blog in that way. Oh such sweet words from my little girl who has grown up to be this amazing woman, mother, wife, and my best friend. I’m so blessed and so Blue Happy! I wish you all a Blue Happy evening. Until Monday my friends be Blue Happy.
