Working at Home
While I love to keep busy, the past few days have been absolutely nuts. I finished up a big project for someone; of which I am extremely grateful. This person gave me the opportunity to ghostwrite for her and even though my name is not on the project, it is nice to know that I managed to finish something I have never attempted before. I was told it was good, but being my own worst critic, I still think it could have been better.
Now I have to finish three articles on digital scrap booking, which I love. I am just thankful I have the work and can keep me busy. Even though I am at home; work is work. I have found that making the kids turn off the television for a couple of hours in the evening does help, as well as not having it on during the day while I am trying to work. It is normally just on for noise, but it can get distracting.
Home Life
At the same time I was working so hard, I had to have some birthday time with my son who turned 9 years this Saturday. I have also been dealing with another ovarian cyst. These ovarian cyst are becoming an issue I am sick of dealing with; my freaking female parts are pissing me off.
The Gyno tells me unless I want surgery or to be put on birth control pills, I have to just deal with my ovary causing me pain; sometimes every month. I have had a hysterectomy, am 37 and will be damned if I want to be put on BC pills. I can just see it now; the first month I am a mess (I don't deal with the pill very well) and I have a stroke because my husband looks at me the wrong way and I get angry.
Oh well, the husband part usually happens anyway, so I guess that wouldn't really change; but I don't really want to have a stroke. If I had a stroke then my husband would have to take care of the house and kids; which of course we know would just send me into a heart attack. I can't win can I? :)
All kidding aside, the cyst hurts like hell. Oh well, this to shall pass.
Looking Ahead
So the rest of the week will be spent nursing my pain, taking care of the house, finishing my articles, working on my other web sites (still in the developing stages) and knitting.
Oh knitting you say? Yes, knitting. I had put down my knitting needles for about a year and I guess I decided to pick them back up again. I have started a beautiful sweater and I am also working on some wristers. These two patterns are in the current issue of Creative Knitting. There are so many knitting projects I want to do from this issue I can't stand it. If I just had more hands.
