Slowing Down

by Leave a Comment

I have been thinking a lot about slowing down. Daily Pinch is my blog, but there is so much I do that I don’t really talk about. I’m a wife, mother, volunteer, PTA secretary, write childrens books, editor, business woman and a few other things I am sure that I am forgetting right now.

It’s only 18 days until Christmas and I am just worn out. Tired beyond belief. I have a super secret project that I am working on and it is going to be amazing. However, we are still nailing down the design and business plan. It’s gets more detailed oriented everyday. I love the details, but sometimes my brain gets overwhelmed and I just can’t get it to shut down.

Really, it’s kind of like building with Legos. You know what the end product is supposed to look like, however there are lots of funky little pieces that are needed to get you where you should be.

So, I am here. I am going to keep on, keeping on. Thanks for listening.

Ugh: That’s it. Just ugh.

I have been swamped, covered, run-over, over scheduled. You name it, I can lay claim to it. Meaning I didn’t finish my Halloween Food Series and just want to cry! I still have the makings for clumping together my blood clots and pus in the fridge. Just ready to be put in a dessert glass. My pumpkin wine cooler? Still sitting, uncarved.

Where has the time gone? Non-profit work, volunteering, PTA fundraising, anything and everything that has nothing to do with A Daily Pinch. I am also in the middle of a designing a new site for a complete rebuild. That is covered with the mundane tasks of pondering how many action items should I have, how many columns do I want, what do my readers prefer, do I keep the same color scheme…I tell you, it’s enough to drive a girl to the coffee pot too many times in one day.

Personally, I am taking a working break this week. I am leaving the family at home and heading to a cottage at the beach to property sit for a friend and going to create content and sketch out my plans. After that? Business plan work. I want Daily Pinch to be a full-time job in six months.

On a more fun note, I was just hired at the Charlotte Editor for www.SavvySource.com! I will be handling and updating content for the Charlotte area pre-k crowd.

So, please forgive me for my slacker behavior. I don’t like it, but procrastination and disorganization LOVE me. Seriously. They just gush about me.
