Please Mind the Gap

Anyone who has traveled the London Underground is well aware of the "Mind the Gap" sign and public address as you enter the station platform.  I thought it would be well suited right about here since I'm in the midst of......something.....I'm not sure what to call it.  I don't even know how to fully describe it, but I'm going to run with it for a while.

In my previous post labeled "My New Years Resolution" I listed a few things I would like to accomplish this year. I started on #1 and was doing great, then my best friend (lets just call her Barbie) informed me she was joining a gym and getting a trainer. Now what kind of friend would I be if I let her do this on her own? (Plus the thought of standing next to "fitness Barbie" this summer - ummm yeah, I'll join with you!). Over a month later, I am down 10 pounds  - halfway there baby! 

This is where my "gap" comes in.  I am working my "real job", taking care of my house and family, driving the big-little one to school, traveling most weekends with the kids, and exercising 5 days a week.  Plus I still try to plan play dates, have a date night every now and then, talk to my girl friends and work on custom orders. Phew.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I can't do it all - right now - all at the same time.  From the moment I found out I was preggo (just over 4 years ago), I gave up everything and gave my kids every single ounce of me. My little one will be 2 this June and I feel it is time for me to do something for myself.

Call it a Pre-30-Awakening or a Mini-Mommy Melt Down, whatever it is I am going through, I like it.  I have turned a new page and realized I still need "me" time. 

Please mind the gaps in my posting while I work on me.  I am still here, I still LOVE creating party printables and I will continue to post new ideas and parties as they come. I just believe I need to get myself together before I start trying to get this company off the ground.

Here’s to achieving all of your goals this year!
