9 hour work day today then I come home to 2 sweet little children who were very good despite one of them running the other over accidentally with an office chair.
I was totally exhausted when my mom and Jennifer decided to stop by and help clean the kitchen.
I'm thankful for that- but it was also a little stressful. I'm not the best housekeeper and the events of the past 2 years have really taken a toll on the house, my sanity and life in general. I keep it clean, just not clean enough for my mom, god love her. My niece rocks and was a huge help. I told her I would take her to the Jersey Shore house and store to thank her for her help sometime this week. She's from Georgia so she'll finally get to see what the real boardwalk is like.
Trying to get some graphic work done this evening. It's restful work sitting in this chair at least and I'm finally getting to make some of that stuff called art I used to do way back in the day. It fills up the part of me that needs creativity. I can sit for hours and have a poster design down- then bam- i decide I don't like it at all and spend another 6 hours making another one.
Tired , but feeling ok otherwise.
I am finding that resting is serious discipline. I think I might seriously have adult ADD.
Why is relaxing so difficult?
There is no herb, tea, pill or remedy besides meditation that works- it's almost a curse sometimes.
gah.
I think I need a constant flow of sitar music in my ears. That might work.
I used to listen to this Ravi Shankar/George Harrison tape all the time at work... and I had it in my car for the longest time... I need to find it digital. Chants of India.
Good stuff.
(I just remembered how much it blissed me out. good job Brianne!)

I just wanted to let you know that your posts are so encouraging and I read them everyday. It helps me get my life into perspective and to keep realizing what is so important. ANd music can be the best medicine for sure.
hahahaaaa, i turned down most offers of cleaning due to potential embarrassment. heheheheheh
but people will clean however people clean. everyone has their own style and like any other style, it is oooookay. it is alllll riiiight. since when do you worry about what others think of your style?? you don't!! good!!! it's not on the list of important things these days. you'll figure out when you have good energy and you'll use it however you see fit at the time. i tend to clean my kitchen in the morning when i have my best energy and some times i vacuum only every other week. i'm also guessing you're not the only adult in the house who can do such things, though one may (learn to) have to make a request or two perhaps... ! ;-)
remember always "give yourself permission to _______ "
much love always!!!!! nancy
Hey Brianne,
For what it's worth, I think all working mothers need to get a pass on house cleaning. My house is not filthy, but I would certainly not appreciate unexpected guests if you know what I mean.y home would never pass a white glove test and yet my husband and boys are happy and know I love them.
