Is it just me? The dirty dishes and laundry conspiracy.

I think there's some kind of dirty dishes and laundry conspiracy to keep me from leaving the kitchen. It seems that every time I think "good, I'm done", there's another bunch of dirty pants and little dresses, and after I take care of those, I turn around to find a dozen of glasses next to my dear hubby's computer (I think his religion forbids him to pick them up and take them to the kitchen sink, and forget about washing them).

What's going on? We are only four in the house, two lovely children, my husband and myself. Are we doing laundry for the neighbors?

Are aliens abducting laundry from other houses and throwing it on my hamper?

Maybe I forgot to pay the bill at the restaurant and now I'm forced to do their dishes.

I don't know. But I think my choice today is to leave it all as it is, put the detergent down, and just make myself a cup of coffee (which I'll have to wash later on), grab my brushes and paint something nice.

What do you think? Is it just me, or did this ever happened to you before?

5 minutes for mom!

This is a very good cyber spot to visit!

I'm not particiating in the contest, but I just wanted to share this with you.

Changing directions

There are time where you shoudl just stop, take a breath, and decide if you are going in the right direction.

This happened to me afew years ago. I was working as office manager for a developer. The job was ok, the pay was good, but I found myself draging my feet to go to work. One day I realized I wasn't happy working in an office. I was feeling tired, and with a headache all the time.

So I decided to leave everything behind and start over.

I spend all my life taking art related courses and workshops, since I was almost 8, but when it came the time for me to pick a career I chose Business administration (amongst other failed careers), because they were good money making careers... and left the art for myself, hidden in my house.

After I left my job, and didn't know what was I going to do for a living, I tried many other things, thinking that maybe the problem was the office, until it hit me.

I did know about the law of attraction, but didn't really give it a lot of thought, until one day my daughter invited her friend over to play, when she and her mom arrived, the mom pointed out a sculpture to the little girl, so we started talking about art, and I did something I never thought I would do, I told her that I was a painter, and she told me she would like to see my work, because she was an art dealer and had a gallery.

Well, need I say more? I'm happier than I ever was. I do what I like now.

And this taught me to tell my children they should choose to do whatever they like in life, I used to do that before, but now I really mean it.
