I am starting to think I may be certifiably insane...

I do alot. Between being a mom of 4 crazy kids, running a house, cleaning said house, paying the bills, I also work from home as a freelance writer and sometimes photographer (thats changing...) I have a to-do list 6 pages long (and no I am not kidding) and yet, here I sit adding to it.

I hate not having anything to do. I can't just sit and watch t.v. I have to be writing, or reading or just...something. I am always in constant motion it seems. Even at night, while the rest of me is trying to decompress, my mind is going "ooohhh I can do this!" and "That is an awsome idea" which usually leads to me laying awake most of the night. I. can't. sit. still.

I think part of the reason that I have so many things that I want to do or am doing is because for the first time in years I am finally recoginizing that my dream of being a wahm is really a reality now. I am excited because I did this...I did it on my own, with little to no help. There were times (and, though, he won't admit it, now too) that my husband doubted that I could ever make this work...yet here I sit.

So, why might I be certifiably insane?

Because in addition to the loads of work that I already have, I have no less then six projects I plan on starting (hopefully within a months time).

And yes, it may seem like alot...and I am sure it is. But that is how I roll.

I like being busy. I like having things to do.

I like the excitement that I am feeling right now at the endless possibilites that are before me.

I like knowing now that I can do this. I like being able to believe in myself and my abilities. Being able to believe in me is empowering...because I know that even if no one else does...I do.

So, certifiably insane? Perhaps.

So incrediably blessed?

For sure!!

So~I'm going to do it!~

After our taxes came back this year, my husband bought me a Nikon D40 digital slr camera. This is a camera that I had been drooling over for months. I had done my research, went to several different stores, considered my photography needs and then settled on the Nikon D40.

I take a TON of pictures. So I knew that despite the hefty price tag, this camera was what I needed.

After taking a bunch of photos of my kids and things like that, I got to thinking. I LOVE photograpy, and while I am still somewhat a newbie, I do a pretty darn good job!

So, I decided that I am going to start my own photography business! I am so excited! One of the things that I love about working from home is that I am free to explore my passions. Be it scrapbooking or photography. I have been soul searching for some time. I felt lost. Like I was doing the odd jobs because I HAD to, not because I wanted to. Working From Home was begining to feel more and more like a dead end 9-5 job...

But my spirit has been renewed. I am looking forward to sharing with everyone as I embark on this new journey.

Please feel free to visit my photography blog, Come As You Are Photography, and see what I have to offer. (it is a work in progress so check back often)

Thanks
