Fresh Ideas?!

I don't know how people who create art get their inspiration. Now I don't create art but my business is a still a way that you need ideas, new visions of fashion. I create bows , outfits for kids. I also do a lot of art work like furniture painting and stuff (ill add pics later). The painting is not that hard its usually the same, girls with roses and boys with frogs and boats. However when I get to the bows, I sometimes look at my ribbons and my fabrics and I cant decide what to do and how to start.

Then I get preoccupied with my kids, husband, and house work. Not to mention that I have Algebra tests and my psych tests coming up this may! Summer is starting and I need to come up with a new idea a new line of cloths, bows, handbags, and more. AAAAGGGGHHH now i feel like charlie brown!. Sometimes my husband does not help with the situation. Like right now he is sitting in front of the boob tube watching Ultimate fighter when there are dishes to do. I already took care of everything else. The babies are arguing, and he just takes in stride. I'm here trying to write it all down and well, I just need to vent. Don't get me wrong, he's is a great husband and even more so a wonderful dad (to good he spoils the two youngest). Our chores are divided up. I clean the house, sweep mop, dust, wash laundry. He has dish duty, cooking (he took that up right from the start he was a cook in the army for 5 years!) and put the laundry away.

I can see why I don't have my creative juices flowing. I need my own studio away from home. I think I need to rent a small space or send my kids off to daycare or to a nanny. Well, its time for me to go. I need to make sure things are OK on my website. My life is a soap. I could write books and make millions. Then again why add more to the bag when I can just barley make this one my own!

My first blog 4/17/2006

You know Ive read about blogs and all, and now I have decided to go ahead and do one. So for my introduction. I am a mom of 4 girls...yes 4 girls. The oldest is 8 and the youngest is 3. So we have a very energetic home, not to say I am energetic,sometimes I wish I could just tie them up and sit them down with duct tape over there mouths. However most days I just admire how wonderful life is with them. Well, I am a nursing student on top of that. I will be turning 30 yrs and for those of you who are still under 25, FINISH SCHOOL!!!! Dont have kids until you have your degree, even if its in basket weaving, as my husband puts it. Now a days anyone will hire you if you have sometime of degree. However you might think I wasted my time. "Well, lady you should have gone to school instead of making babies!" I can hear you. Well, I really didnt waste my time. My husband was in the army and we traveled the world. We lived in Germany for 3 years and I met many wonderful (as well as horrible) people in the Army. As noble as it is, being in the army, there are still those few creeps who actually get in the military.

So now we are home. We are both going to school, husband helps in the family business and I have my own business. Life can be trying. Sometimes I do want to give up, but my kids, my husband are the main reasons I just keep going. I dont want to let them down. You will get to know me better here. I will write about my past experiences, and what I dream for our future. So here fingers crossed, here goes a new venue for me to look at my past mistakes to better my future!
