Life Changes
16 Oct
It’s been about 6 weeks or so since my youngest child started full-day Kindergarten. Those of you who are moms know how big of a life change I am experiencing! My life has gone from being filled with children (and all that comes with that: snot, poop, throw-up, etc.) all day to being alone all day! There are glorious aspects to this change, as well as not-so-glorious aspects.
I’ve been blessed with a job I can do from home, which means I can still be here when the girls go to school, and when they get home at 4pm. But in between, I have 7.5 solid hours of ME time! After eight years, it’s about time!
I’m mostly filling my time with work, which is great. But, I also got to get my hair cut this morning without hiring a babysitter or dumping the kids on my neighbor. What a concept! I’m also finding time to fit in a few old hobbies, such as writing. My plan is to write something in this blog a couple of times a month, even if it’s not totally design related. I really just want to get back in the habit of writing regularly, so I hope you’ll bear with me as I do that. Hopefully the topics will be somewhat interesting 
One quick note before I close for today. In my encounters with xTrain (which you may have read about in the previous blog post), I’ve come to know of a woman named Justine who is the spokesperson for xTrain, and is also a part of a movement called Lifecasting. She carries around a video camera pretty much 24/7, and broadcasts her life online. (As I’m writing this, she’s getting her hair cut while 404 people watch live.) It’s strangely interesting, but I don’t think I could do it. What about you?
