Day 2, 3, 4...?

Geesh, maybe that was a bad idea, makings lists.  The past few days have been a blur. We had to get ready for another show which means a lot of things. Glazing, figuring out what to bring, unpacking and repacking the van, figuring out our new booth design, getting kids organized, emails, hotel reservations, looking over load in logistics... And now planning for how to get any work done over  Spring break with more shows coming up. Most of the time almost everything gets done. But that 'almost' is key. The house is a disaster, laundry has piled up, family birthdays are probably right around the corner or past and I've got nothing to show for it. Not to mention the shows we still need to apply to, Etsy postings, email newsletters, other marketing and of course pottery to be made.  I did, however, let some of it slide on purpose to just enjoy the kids while Sandy was out of town this time. So often I try and squeeze too much in and then just end up feeling terrible that I didn't hang out with the kids enough.  We had a blast just baking cookies, taking walks, talking, reading books, playing, getting hair cuts while watching a movie, went out to lunch and a birthday party today... So much better than trying to do anything else. Sure, I will clean the house...but now I'm too tired!
