Week 3: Work, Work, and Oh, Almost Forgot! More Work.

Most of the time, I feel like I'm just barely staying afloat with all my tasks, but "hell week" is a whole other beast. The week before I order everything for the boxes, I am working to finish up the designs. It's always a stressful week, and I don't do much else, so our house looks like a disaster. Usually I can roll with it, but it has really been bumming me out this time. Probably because I have such a clear vision of what I want from the rooms that are messy and I am itching to rectify them, but I am forcing myself to ignore it all to get my work done. Perhaps the timing of completing my paperback book formatting and cover and having it in my hands by my birthday {which is Jan 31- my golden birthday this year as I'm turning 31} was a bit of an overreach, but it's something I want to do, so I'm finding time to make it happen. I haven't slept much lately, so this whole week feels like a blur. Honestly, the last several months have been a blur. I work too much. I feel like I've said that. Sorry. Thank goodness for Madeline, whose presence in the mornings and evenings at least forces me to get out of my own head for a little bit each day.
There's so much more I want to say, but I worry it will sound like I'm complaining or repeating myself. Instead, here are my goals: get the book ordered for a proofing before we leave for Disney. Finish designs before we leave for Disney. Clean up for one hour each night while Madeline helps so the house won't be so depressing. TRY and take pictures to post on bookstagram while we are on vacation so I don't have to think or worry about them. Those are the big things. Let's cross our fingers that I can make it happen!
