My Extremely Busy Life

Wow....where do I start?
Life is crazy busy.  In no particular order, just shooting from the cuff..

There is the kid's schedules:
School (get them ready, lunches, snacks, drop off, pick up)
Soccer (two times a week)
Cub Scouts (once a week
Daisys (once a week where I am a leader with another mother)
Maria's Space
4 Social Media Clients
Book Reviews
Christmas Shopping
Life
Husband
Friends
Family


Product reviews
Facebook
Twitter
Cleaning
Shopping
Laundry
Help in the Library at the School
Photography
and my journalist job for a neighboring village where I run their webzine as of August when they lost their newspaper (40% of my week).

All but the social media jobs are volunteer

There are times I can barely take a breath before I am flying to the next task. I know this is the life of most people but what bothers me the most is how much of life I am missing. There is barely time to take a breath and really see the world around me which at times is probably a good thing at times.

Thursday I headed out to do some prospecting. Finding more clients is time consuming and while I am getting more comfortable with it, it is still something I am unsure of. While prospecting, I headed to the Senior Center to take a photo for them of their collaborative moral that I forwarded to a local shop where it will eventually end up on t-shirts and sweatshirts to make money for the Senior Center. On my way to another prospect I received a Facebook message from someone telling me the location of the movie set for the day. (Yup, there is another movie being filmed close by). I headed there, parked and waited. I got myself on the set of the movie on their first day of filming two weeks ago and interviewed the Associate Producer! Got to watch five scenes being filmed. Very cool! This time, I was able to chat with the associate director. She was awesome! We hung for about 40 minutes talking about life, the movie, the area, her family....it was amazing.

Two and a half extra hours this week I helped out one of my clients by watching his office so he could go to an appointment.

Today we headed out as a family (with a little protesting from our largest male) to rake leaves for the sponsoring church of the Daisys and Cubs in the area. I was there as a mom, Daisy Leader and Photographer for the local webzine.

Next week I hope to get in touch with the town's mayor to see if there is any possibility of getting a stipend. Nothing major, enough to pay for the website.

Ahhhh....I am tired just writing about it.

ANNNNNDDDD...Goddess lost her first tooth while I was out today! She is so happppyyy.

Mostly this has been written for me and the kids in the future. If ever they wonder what I was up to, here it is in black and white. PEACE OUT!

    Wow you are busy!! I took two 10 second breaks, I was tired just from reading it. You are doing a phenomenal job and you should be very proud of yourself. It must be overwhelming but you are still holding up and everyone loves the great work you are doing. Kudos to you and Good luck with everything. I know all this work will pay off in the long run and I hope that everyone sees how hard you work. You hold a lot of job titles and complete the tasks on time and with a smile. YOU ROCK!!!!!!
