Book reading season 2015 has begun! You weren't aware of the season opening? Well, it happens to directly coincide with football season. This time of year Mark watches all the football and I read all the books and it works out pretty nicely. With football on alllll day Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights, and allllll day Saturday I'm tempted to watch even less TV than usual and get plenty of reading done. Fine by me!
I ordered an area rug for the family room and ended up not liking it, so that's going back. I ordered another rug that's maybe arriving today? I have to like it because I'm over the rug buying thing already. I guess if I don't like it, it will just lay there taunting me forever because it's staying. Buying a rug is hard.
Decorating is just not my forte. I really, really dislike the decorating process. I assume some people like it? Not me. I don't enjoy decorating, just the end result. I want my space to be nice, but don't like the work of getting there. First world problems, eh?
This past weekend feels like the official end of our crazy summer. My weekend was filled with appointments, but looking at the next month to six weeks my calendar is blissfully open. Sure I already have a sprinkling of commitments, but just a sprinkling. I feel like I can breathe! This summer amidst buying a house, renovating a house (mostly DIY), getting a house ready to sell (all DIY), moving, selling a house by owner, AND taking care of 2 littles full time I also took 2 doula clients a month every month and had a sprinkling of advanced trainings in there. Crazy.
Looking back, I'm still not sure how I made it through in one piece. Or, in one piece, minus a few pieces of my mind that I lost along the way. ::releases held breath::
Moving into the holiday season I've decided I'm going to scale back my birthwork calendar and only accept 1 client a month through the end of year at least, probably for the first couple months of 2016 as well as the holiday season runs right into birthday season in our household. That means I'm fully booked for the next several months already, now I just need to stick to my boundaries and not take on any more clients.
I love what I do and I'm thankful to be busy, but I need to make sure I'm doing a good job of balancing everything and this summer left me feeling like I ran a months long marathon. Time to recover a bit and have some space to focus on other things that need attention, there's plenty on the list.
