One day it’ll be a hand-made Christmas…

I really thought that I’d try to have a hand-made Christmas this year.
yeah, that idea totally fizzled.
This working? Hard. I feel very blessed that I don’t have to work at a job that demands I am at the office all day, everyday, because doing it three days a week (in the afternoons!) is hard. At the end of your day you’re spending time with your kids at the worse part of their day. They’re tired and hungry and suddenly realized “Hey! Where have you been all day?!”. Especially considering the end of the day is spent making dinner, doing dishes, tidying up and getting the kids to bed.
But beyond the little rottens, it also means that those brief moments in the day when I used to “make stuff’ are gone. I think this Christmas is the first Christmas in a long time where I’ve made hardly anything at all, and I don’t think I’ve made a single gift. It feels …weird.
I’m hoping that things slow down the next couple of weeks and I’ll have a chance to make a few simple things, little ideas that are running around in my head, and hopefully will be able to come back here and share them with you.
If not, I’ll come back here and just bitch at you. heh.
